    As a fan, I 100% agree with you -- and yet I trust the coaching staff knew/saw something I didn't. Plus, I'm a big DWatt fan so I'm biased.

    2025 Transfer Options

    Legitimate question for Blum, anyone in the know, or anyone else who has an opinion: If ISU or other schools don't have the $$ to fill all 13 roster spots, are there still end-of-the-bench players who would come here for a full-ride scholarship (nothing to sneeze at) and, say, $10,000 in...

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    IF this is true (fingers crossed that it isn't), here's the thing... $3M in NIL money would require a lot of time recording the TV/radio ads and posing for photos with the various brands. How will he have time for school? ;)

    Eric Mulder commits to Iowa State

    the problem is, white guys from Iowa can't dunk. (Now that I've written this, I'll go check out his highlights video). ;)

    Just occurred to me: Maybe he's a Rajon Rondo comp? (I'm not saying he'll play 12 years in the NBA, just making the comp on athleticism, defense, and an awkward looking shot)

    CF POSTGAME: No. 8 Iowa State can’t hang with No. 16 Kansas

    I'm still bullish on this team, but... Was it "bad shooting" as the players suggest in this article, or was it bad offense (combined with really good defense)? To my eyes, the shots were anything but easy. We had a bunch of contested threes late in the shot clock and off-balance twos. Coaches...

    Assistant Stevie Taylor is no longer with the team

    Or tigers and lions. Maybe bison, too.

    it's early in the year for tornados, no?

    I'm not fully caught up. Have any of our 4 transfers signed elsewhere? Pav, Fish, Omaha or Jelani?

    ****Official Class Of 2024 Recruiting Thread****

    Disagree but maybe we agree in concept. He's starter-caliber right now defensively, but he's currently a liability on offense, except for his cutting to the hole. If he adds a reliable 3-point shot (33% or better) and looks for his shot (which he absolutely doesn't now), plus makes even modest...

    *** Official #7 IOWA STATE vs #1 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    1) Ward was gimpy yesterday after he got called for an over-the-back on a rebound. I'll assume his knee is ok, but any news? 2) I watched without sound yesterday. Was there a story regarding Jackson P not playing? Dinged up?

    Let's hear it for our 'centers'

    Combined, Rob Jones and Hason Ward are averaging (per game): 40 minutes 15 points 9 rebounds 2 assists 2 steals 2 blocks 61.3% from the field 50.5% free throws! (I had a low bar but they've cleared it) As good if not better than I hoped in each of these areas. Ok, maybe the rebounding...

    The dude is shooting 100% from 3-land! What more on offense could you want? :)

    Williams & Blum Pod: Cy-Hawk, Omaha & offensive coordinators

    Jimmy Butler once Omaha gets a little thicker, or a taller JR Rider? Maybe a slightly more fast-twitch Sean Elliot? How about this one: Shane Battier. I think that's a decent comp for Omaha.
