Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)
- Thread starter 19210
- Start date
TJ makes his money by getting the transfer portal right and bringing in the right guys every season. If you're so anti-transfer portal then you're anti-TJ. If you love watching squads that "develop" talent for four years then you can cheer for the team two and a half hours east of ISU. Look at how much success they've had doing that...You and your wife sound like entitled brats because you can't handle times changing.
If your attitude towards ISU basketball is the same as it is towards football, no ******* wonder you watch the games alone
Yes there is. This is the same poster that started the thread begging fellow ISU fans to help him get excited about our “extremely mediocre football team” next year
Weren’t we told all season, when some on here were saying Omaha would be transferring after the year, that that wasn’t the case and everything was going to plan, and Omaha was working hard, and there was nothing to be concerned about with him…. he wasn’t going anywhere?
Interesting.
Interesting.
Yeah, it's the same people that assured us 100% that AJ Green would be a Cyclone.
Yes, there was a lot of this don't panic about Omaha stuff out there. The excuse was that he was behind because he was with the national team and we were letting him get up to speed before throwing him in to game action and we expected him to give some important minutes come conference play. Maybe it was true that his attitude and work ethic remained good the whole time, but it should have been crystal clear that the results just weren't coming.
People were saying he would be a Cyclone unless he got an NBA deal. He got an NBA deal. They were right
Hindsight is 20/20 of course but there were also many posters really confident that Omaha was going to win us some Big 12 games back when he was barely playing in the non-con schedule and was ineffective against buy-game teams.
That's not exactly how it went down in here. We were told "he would be a Cyclone".
It was always with the caveat unless the NBA comes calling. That was the only risk. ISU was his collegiate option. This was posted time and again on Chris Williams pay portion of this sight
He had a great "pro" day with the Bucks and they offered him a deal. This was also before NIL really kicked in.

People on here were badmouthing my posts about Omaha's lack of improvement throughout the season, especially 3-4 weeks ago when he still wasn't playing. There were people saying I was dumb for criticizing his lack of development. It's the same people that are so loyal to a fault that they can't handle any critique about ISU. It's good that there are always honest people on these boards but some of the homers on this board can be out of hand.
He made it to campus and held up his end on practicing and classes and such (so far as we know). He still has the raw athletic talent that may one day justify his star ranking under the right circumstances. I would therefore respectfully disagree at this time.
For all the sky is falling people, and just fans in general, please listen to Blum and CW from Sunday night. There is a plan, this is the world we live in and it’s all going to be ok.
Everyone gives The Mayor credit for this but Floyd is the one that showed him the route.
Nah, I'm going to keep blaming random people on a message board with no connections that had wrong predictions.
It's crazy how so many people still can't figure out how raw Omaha was. He was recruited based purely on his athleticism. He's the type of Baylor Scott Drew would recruit but knowing it may tale a couple years before they are even serviceable.
Players can't have it both ways. If they want "pay for play" then they are gonna have to earn their spot every year.
Also, I don't think that's what happened here either. These guys just all want to play.
