Is anybody actually worried about Grill doing anything against us if he does go to WV or any other team we’d play next year? He’s wildly inconsistent and is pretty much a one dimensional player who isn’t quick enough to create his own look if a defender is up in his jock preventing a 3
I wonder more if the player that got under his skin in Morgantown is still there?

I don't know if JLC would've fit TJ's defensive scheme, but his 3-point shooting would've been useful that year.

Wherever I go, there I am.
Most understood why Tyrese left. He didn’t come from much and a big payday was understandable. He didn’t have to pop off like he has done
This. With all due respect, @JP4CY is leaving out distinguishing factors regarding Hunter that explain the dissatisfaction of some posters. Sure, if you only consider the facts that fit your position, then your position is unassailable.

Another important distinction is that Grill has yet to complete his transfer. Where he transfers and what he says about ISU will undoubtedly affect the opinions of some posters. If he goes to WVU or another in-conference team, makes some demonstrably untrue statements about why he transferred, and then **** tweets about ISU, he will likely not be warmly received by ISU fans.

That shouldn't be difficult for anyone to understand.

Yes... Iowa, KSt, and Kansas bball.
Texas isn't a rival. I guess we're pissed they're leaving, but in a couple years they are an afterthought.
Texas isn’t a rival, but they are the school I hate most, followed by Iowa. The hits just keep coming with Texas, with the latest being hiring the most insufferable douche coach in the league since Dana Holgerson.

I just keep hearing over and over that Tyrese trashed ISU, yet no one will just post what he said. I know there's stuff that Chris has alluded to, but if there was a quote or something it would most likely change my opinion.
I absolutely get the TX hate and that being a big factor but that's talked much less than the "what he said" mystery.
I'm assuming when he entered the portal, him and his brother thought less about the name on the jersey and more so about who could pay the most and that's what I've posted before:
In regards to some things he's said or done, I know I was doing dumber **** than him at 18, with good parents in my life.
We are in a great spot with Tamin and he's exceeded my expectations. Love the way he plays.

I think you are not providing Custer the full respect he earned. While he might have been 3rd team is senior year (injury), he was selected as player of the year in the MVC has junior year (the year Loyola went to the Final 4). He had more skills than you appear to want to give him credit for. Credit to Coach Freddie for spotting those talents.

Nope, I followed Clayton closely at Loyola and was rooting for him the whole time. I standby that it was good for him to step down a level. Happy for him to have found the perfect spot.

CW has certainly fanned flames without providing what he seems to know. Maybe protecting someone?

Tyrese didn’t like ISU and talked a little **** on the way out. I’m pretty sure he posted something on his IG story too talking about he was glad to be leaving. It had more to do with Ames than anything else imo.

But him completely leaving campus to go back home right after the NCAA tournament wasn’t a great look.

I'd imagine if he left immediately it was to start the bidding war. Not that that's right.
I don't have the insta, do you know if anyone ever captured the image or post?

I don’t! It was a few weeks after he left and I believe he was doing a thing where his followers would ask a question and he’d answer them. Someone asked him about ISU and his answer was “LOL”

So again, very minimal and he wasn’t really publicly talking ****. It was more little things that some people got really all crazy about. I’m over it. He didn’t like ISU or Ames and that’s okay.

The season is over after the tournament, if he wasn't happy being in Ames it makes sense to leave if that was an option for him.

Oh I agree it all makes sense imo now. When it was going on it was not a great look obviously.

I think Tinsley "kind of did this" too, right? I get that he was going pro but there were even wild rumors of him throwing the MSU game, getting a sweet car, and dropping out of ISU.

Tinsley didn't go to school the second semester since the grades would not count toward him being eligible. I know that.

Can anyone actually quote a Tyrese Hunter social media post where he talked poorly or down on Iowa State? I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I'm saying I've never personally seen what the heck anyone is talking about.
