“I chose Iowa State because of the relationship I had with Coach (TJ) Otzelberger and the rest of the staff,” he said. “How coach carries himself, his mentality and work ethic is something I gravitated towards and he made me a priority since day one. I also have an opportunity to go there and win games, be myself and develop into a better player.”

Looks like he showed out against tougher competition. Awesome that he's got 3 years of eligibility.

I bet he'll need time to adjust to the B12 grind, but will be a good guy for a scoring punch off the bench next year and evolve into a starter as a junior and senior.

Oh, he'll have a chance to win some games. No doubt about that.

Big one! Keep surrounding Lipsey with elite shooters and scorers. This roster a few years down the road is going to be tough to guard.

Lipsey/Pierce
Pavaletzke/Hamilton
Gilbert/Indrusaitis
Momcilovic/Fish
Rock

Lets get some lenth and top tier athleticism to pair with it we are in business!

TJ understood the assignment - the team needs more and better shooters. And they've added Milan, Hamilton, Gilbert, Pav (and Jones?) - all of whom should be 36%+ 3pt shooters and can score off the dribble. The offense should be about a million times better next year

I agree completely...however, in finding this offense...how does it impact our defense? Honest question...I don't follow recruiting beyond what I read on this board.

Omaha might be a threat from there too. Maybe not quite 36% but hopefully 33+

Definitely going to be the most excited I've been for Cyclones bball in a few years. The last 2 years have been fun but I didn't have a ton of expectations. I wouldn't say I have top 4 seed expectations for next year but I expect the team to continue to get better throughout the year, be playing their best bball by the end of the year and make the tournament. Could be a slower start to the year though

It will take a step back - but losing Gabe probably does that on its own. Although Omaha should be a defensive plus all by himself.

The thing that stands out to me is that these 3 guys (Gilbert, Pav and Jones - if that's the third) is they are all skinnier than anyone on our team last year. We basically had no one under 200#, and these guys are in the 170#-175# range.
