    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    Milan gave his all and is not coming back to Iowa State due to certain circumstances he can’t control. Audi and the women’s team visibly gave up and were checked out the moment they hit some adversity.

    So we can schedule a quad 4 neutral site games against Missouri State but Drake and UNI are off the table? And before anyone comes at me, I’m not saying we should play the instate games. But why play this game but not the instate games?

    2026-2027 MBB computer projections thread

    Torvik has us sitting at 12 for now. For reference, last years preseason Torvik projections had us at 15th overall. 48th in offense and 2nd in defense. https://barttorvik.com/trankpure26.php

    **** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

    I think Coleman is a good pickup, but he had some turnover issues. As for McKeever, he doesn’t really impress me. At 7’2 only shot 50% from the field and had less dunks than Toure. He’s just Adam Woodbury reincarnated. Drew Scharnowski from Belmont would have been a better fit in his system.

    2026-27 Starting Lineup and rotation predictions

    I wouldn’t call next a year a rebuild but more of a retool year. They can be a top 10-15 team but just figure out who the top dogs are for 27/28 and 28/29. Like you said, what sophomores take that leap? How legit are Johnson and Singleton? Can Wiggins, Kiss, or DRK contribute as freshman? Then...

    I wonder if schools will ever be able to put non-competes or something of that nature in contracts.

    Dominykas Pleta will return to Iowa State!!

    Big time. I know some guys see him as a stretch 4 but I don’t really see that, I think he’s a true 5 with his foot speed. If he is able to develop a 3, I think he turns more into a Hunter Dickinson type. Able to set a screen and roll to the basket or pick and pop a 3.

    Williams & Blum: Is Iowa State’s 2026-27 basketball roster final?

    Probably poor man’s Izaiah Brockington for Bond?

    Saw a lady on Tik Tok come from out of town just to Uber for the concert. And the Ames isn’t ready for this comment, like there’s not 7 football games a year where there’s 60k in the stadium plus tailgaters.

    Bond isn’t a 4 man at the B12 level. He can switch to the 4 but Singleton, Milan, Manning, and Kiss(probably) are the true 4’s next year.

    Johnson’s not a traditional back the basket big man and like Mara, Buchanan, Pleta (for now). He can drive the ball from the 3 point line plus make a 3 every now and then. Tre King but 2 inches taller.
