    2025 Transfer Options

    No better example than Curtis Jones, went from being a role player who could provide a little offensive spark to an All Big 12 player in one year. I think people need to get used to the fact that this is a culture and develop program. T.J. is not going to make the splashy signings, he's going...

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    Looks like just rumors now unless something changed but this would be a huge blow especially this late in the portal process. Iowa State just can't compete with the big money NIL teams so I was surprised, quite frankly, that Jefferson didn't move on earlier.

    2025 Transfer Options

    It does suck but these kids, who the schools have been generating obscene amounts of revenue off of, have been getting screwed for a long time. Look at The Fab Five for instance and the millions the school made off their brand while they got nothing out of it, legally at least. This was a long...

    2025 Transfer Options

    The team was never healthy last year, a healthy Cyclones team was looking like a strong Final 4 team early in the year then Milan got injured, Lipsey was banged up most of the conference season then Gilbert.

    2025 Transfer Options

    I'm late to this but Indiana having zero roster players left after the portal opening and due to graduation is freaking wild so it could always be worse guys, a lot worse.

    Iowa State Transfer Tracker 2025

    That's fair. I was just piggybacking on what the poster I quoted said "Just when I question T.J., I realize how much he's done for the program", not his exact quote but what was insinuated. I kind of see it in the same vein. Of course it's fair to criticize him and he does make his fair share...

    I said he took over a team that was 2-22, not the same personnel, but a program that was 2-22.

    Iowa State Transfer Tracker 2025

    He took over a 2-22 team and led them to the Sweet 16 the very next year and 4 straight NCAA tournaments including a team that was top 5 for at least a time in two straight seasons, already more tournament wins than any coach in ISU history. Anybody who is questioning whether this man is the...

    I still don't think they should have gotten blown out by a middling team despite all that. I don't think they showed enough fight in this game tbh but I guess it doesn't matter anymore about the why and how, it happened and it's time to move on.

    *** Official Ole Miss vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Fair enough, and for the record I'm not saying that injuries didn't play a significant role because, duh, of course they did but it was just really disappointing to see the team basically no show in their final game. A hugely promising season ending with a thud and the thing is, that I'm not...

    That's exactly what it is, I saw lack of effort in this team that I've never seen in a TJ-led team. Yeah, it could be as simple as the injuries wearing on them but it just seemed deeper than that, the competitive juices just seemed to be lacking a bit.

    *** Official Ole Miss vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    This team had every element to be a Final 4 team. Experience and talent throughout the backcourt, did very well in the portal to complement them with a strong frontcourt, a successful core that played together for a few years. I know that they never really got a chance to play together due to...

    I'm completely baffled by this performance, they just didn't show up at all. Horrible way to go out with a ton of questions that need answering

    They have no chance if Momcilovic no shows
