I can’t help but notice every picture and video I’ve seen of inside the practice facility, everyone is using a Wilson ball. I think Iowa State maybe switched from the Nike ball to the Wilson ball? Good switch, if true.

I read that the ball Nike produced last year had a unique cover that did not match NCAA regs. The NCAA gave them a one year waiver to use them but did not renew it so the balls theat Nike makes are not legal for the NCAA. Guessing they are using the Wilson balls until they figure out what Nike is doing.

Interesting. I actually thought the new Nike ball was much nicer than the old one. Tacky grip almost like the Wilson so I’m surprised it didn’t match NCAA regulations.

If history is any indicator then this kid is going to UNC. Let's just have a full blown meltdown now so it isn't as bad when it happens. Let's get it out of our systems.
Yeah...I’m pretty sure this kid actually talks to his dad, so so much for your “history”.
