BREAKING: Prohm notches first commitment
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
I really see this kid having a body like Homan in a couple of years with more athleticism. If he gets as strong as Homan was we've got a good Big 12 big man.
Was shocked to see Homan is still playing in Europe. he and Brackins are on the same team in Turkey. He actually starts over Brackins.
Only because if Iowa were to signed this kid, your fan base would have made laughed at it. A few on here have admitted as much. But then you defend that "this is different" with a ton of excuses that again, if it were Iowa, you would have clowned (no pun intended, lower case "C") on those excuses. Because we have seen the same scenario regarding Iowa.
ISU Fans know that this kid is depth. A good 12th man.
Iowa fans would be trying to convince us how he is going to be the next Jess Settles or Greg Brunner. That's why ISU fans make fun.
Seriously, you cannot see the difference between the 2 situations? Yes, many ISU fans would probably have laughed at Iowa if they had signed Ernst for this year because he would just be a repetition of what they already had signed, and probably not what they really needed.
In ISU's case however, not much is needed for this year's team, and what he might or might not add for next year's team is pretty much not a concern at this point, since ISU has so many scholarships available for next year. All that was needed for this year was a decent big that could fill in a few backup minutes off the bench. There will not be any pressure on him to score. If he can rebound a little, maybe play a little defense against the other team's bigs, provide a little foul protection, and give some of ISU's other front court players a few minutes rest each game.......that will be all that is needed from him.
A completely different situation. If you really can't see that, or don't understand that, then you know absolutely nothing about college basketball.
Thanks for the info. I'm a little surprised Homan would start over a younger Brackins, but by the time he was a senior Homan was a really good Big 12 center, and down the stretch of the Big 12 schedule, I don't think any Big 12 center was playing any better than Homan. Not sure we've had a player develop any further from his freshman to his senior year.
Don't know if he'd start but would definitely be in 12-player rotation they like to run. You know the one where you get benched for going 3 for 3 & destroys any rhythm.
Compared to Homan...Brackins was "soft", the Euro leagues are pretty physical. Also, Craig wasn't much of a factor on the defensive end, at least not in Homan's league. Not trying to knock Craig, he is a much better NBA type of player than Homan would be but I think Homan is better suited for the Euro leagues.
Guess I'm not following, from the quotes/thread above, what is the "one major factor why Iowa went a different direction, and for the same reason the Texas staff at the time" ??
He never really explained that. I was just interested in the other stuff he said
I, too, thought it hard to understand but I think they meant that he was inconsistent and didn't always play hard. May have tended to play to the level of the opposition.
