I think I will wait until he officially says he is not coming back. If he leaves, than good luck to him at LSU. I appreicate him at least giving Fred a chance to talk to him.

And the guy guarding Ham had to guard Brackins.

And we lost:confused: with that duo

I was more disappointed when Ham said he was going to leave than any of the others this year. Ham just seems like the type of player you want on a team - enjoyed rooting for him. Wish he'd been a little more forward with why he was leaving the first time, but I can't hold that against him (not wanting the air dirty laundry, etc.). Good luck Ham, hope you stay at ISU (I'd like to continue cheering for you).

Good lord, you guys are creepy. No official word and you guys go through the 5 emotional stages, all in one thread.

I'm telling you this is a net gain:

A big lumbering junior center who was brought in to fit with the previous regime's style of play

or

A freshman being brought in by the new staff to play the style of basketball the new regime is going to play.

I will take the 2nd option...

I wish the best of luck to Justin but i'm personally happy he is deciding not to come back just because of what you said. I am excited about the new guys.

I think it will work out for the best as stated above. We aren't an NCAA team next year anyway. Lets stockpile some talent. :)

If I were FH, I would want a team of whole-hearted Cyclones to start off. After 4 years of GM, do we really want to see another transfer? Let's not go there again.

I wouldve welcomed Ham back, but if the staff can find someone to fill the hole, great. The staff still hasnt lost anyone that wasnt previously gone, which is a bit of an accomplishment.

I was able to sneak into the room where Fred and Ham met and recovered the following document. It must not have worked...

When I saw "Ham gone?" I was bummed, because I was really hungry.
:biggrin:

I would have welcomed him back — probably Colvin, too — as long as they didn't have built-in expectations about their roles in the new scheme.

At this point, though, I'm ecstatic that the only players we appear to be losing are players we had already lost.

Would he even start though? I would think Dendy would start over him anyways. Were going to be running the floor and Dendy has much more speed and dunking range

Yes, he would start.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if Dendy makes it next season.

Saying we're going to run and actually running are two different things.

Doc Sadler said they were going to run at Nebbie.

My thoughts also. I would like Fred to have as many schollies as possible to work with.

We're gonna be awful next year, regardless.
