    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    With the talk of collective bargaining CW and Blum have brought up in their last few pods, is there a chance we see smaller leagues move in this direction ahead of the P4? For example: say the MAC and the MWC decided to pool their media rights in order to provide games in every time zone without...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    The interesting part to me is the idea that the super League would be just for football. Honestly, I'd be happy about it. Would hopefully allow the rest of the sports to align in more geographically sensible leagues hopefully. Only question mark is whether basketball would affect that.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Looks like Memphis is staying put this round and the PAC will take Texas State. I'm curious what the downstream effect will be.

    Mason Williams commits to ISU

    Underrated that if he plays two years here he'll be a fifth year senior. Smart to find old guys after the covid exception ends.

    2025 Transfer Options

    Lipsey is gonna be a 4th year senior this coming season. Milan a 3rd year junior. That's something to be hyped about.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    We're not competing against them for most of our prospects anyway. Look at the 4* players we have recruited out of high school. Becht is from Florida. Purdy Arizona. Not many from the Midwest.

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    B12 Wrestling has 14 members, 5 of which are affiliates out west. Would dropping those have a meaningful reduction on travel costs?

    Williams & Blum: Recapping a crazy 10 days

    I would rather see the NCAA/B12 cut requirements that all sports be in the same conference. Let the non-revenue sports compete in geographic leagues with minimal travel costs.

    Former Cyclone March Madness Tracker

    I think Prentiss would have been solid with more development. He started to come on at the end of the year when Tyrese went out and he moved to PG. He was more of a Nate Heise-like role player. Similarly when Heise was asked to shoot more and create offense he struggled. Prentiss had to do that...

    Former Cyclone March Madness Tracker

    He has an excellent eye for guards. I think the reason there were so many duds were the assistants he chose. Almost all Southern guys with ties to southern high schools. Turns out it's hard to convince kids to move halfway across the country when there are P5's close to home, so they missed on...

    ****Official Class Of 2025 Recruiting Thread****

    Maybe I'm off base, but the speculation is that the staff will be looking to add a SG in the off season unless Jones gets a waiver for another year. With Batemon, Toure, and Moore all being good guard prospects, is there any chance the staff rolls the dice on one of them being able to play right...

    *** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #16 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

    I thought they really made the game more physical and let the bigs force the offense down low in the second half, which worked. They were at least able to play KU evenly that way. Already in a massive hole though, weren't going to catch up with twos at that point, especially when they couldn't...

    Postgame video: T.J. Otzelberger's postgame press conference after loss to K-State

    I think that your statement is too harsh, but there is some truth there. We've seen from other players that have transferred up from the mid-major level that the adjustment is hard. It took about half of B12 play last year (the TCU game when Tamin was out), for Jones and Gilbert to finally find...

    2024-2025 MBB computer projections thread

    I'd like to see Iowa State beat Texas Tech and become #2 in the AP poll for the first time next week, but I think Duke is going to leapfrog us because they're destroying mid ACC teams and have the Cooper Flagg hype. :(

    ****Official Class Of 2025 Recruiting Thread****

    Mostly for the practice squad. Older players want to play, but there's only room for 8-9 in the rotation. So the staff brings in 3-4 freshman, and if one of them earns playing time all the better.

    Kind of a downer take. I post about it because I think it's fun, especially when Iowa State is climbing. Not everything has to be "important" to talk about.
