Why don't people with loser attitudes go elsewhere? Are you physically stuck in your chair because of being morbidly obese and you have no choice but posting here?

I'm working on it

If Brady does indeed end up being Homan 2.0, I think it will go down as one of the best recruiting steals in recent ISU BB history. Homan ended up being a very solid player for us by his senior season, and I'm pretty sure he was more highly ranked than Ernst coming out of high school.

Homan was a best his senior year. That game against UNC...

Ernst seemed to know what to do with the ball better than Carter. Granted it was a exhibition team but he had a nice post up with the ball the time I saw he got it in position.

So the "nugget" is that Ernst doesn't have the talent to be in the Big 12 and shouldn't have been given a scholarship, but hopefully we can put a ton of muscle on him and turn him into a "thug" inside?

Color me not too impressed. I questioned why we gave him a scholarship when it happened because virtually nobody wanted him, but I guess the coaching staff knows what they are doing. He would be a perfect walk-on IMO, but not taking up a very valuable scholarship.

Hopefully he can develop into something we can use down the road, that would be great. IMO, it looks like he's already pretty well built. Not sure how he could really get much bigger, but I guess we'll see. His arms are twice the size of Carter's.

Lol, reading for comprehension, or perhaps the general art of comprehension, is not your strong suit.

I think Brady has a chance to develop into a contributor. Clonedude not so much.

Guys, stop quoting him in your posts.

Kind of defeats the purpose of the ignore function for the rest of us.

Every time I see a post from you with a few paragraphs I just know I'm going to read something stupid. Thanks for being you.

Sometimes, when I read your posts, my eyes start to bleed.

Ernst's high school highlights looked like a Homan type body but a little more advanced offensively, and I'm not sure why he wasn't more highly recruited. Obviously Homan came in very raw but developed into one of the best centers in the big 12 by his senior year. I'm not saying Ernst will become that good but I think he will be considered a very big steal for us before he's done.
