If you could take 1 former Cyclone and add them to the current roster, who would you choose and why?

I was watching the game yesterday and was thinking to myself, "this team is a dominant 4 or 5 away from being elite"
That said, give me Jared Homan!

Fizer is choice one. Elite scorer good defender and rebounder. He could also his the three when left open. I like Royce and what he brings on the court, but I don't want him anywhere near this locker room. I don't think he'd buy what TJ is selling. Niang or even Kenny Pratt would be choice two for me.
You can tell who the newer fans and old timers are by the answer to this question.
Hard to argue with Fizer. Probably best combo of offense and defense to fit this system. Royce or George if you’re looking for someone that can create their own shot when we need a bucket. Cato if you want to lean into the defensive identify. Good luck scoring on this team with him back there.
Surprised no one has mentioned Loren Meyer if you’re looking for a traditional big that can score.

Fizer, if you need any proof of just how dominant of a player he was just look at all the double and even triple teams he went up against in this game and still made it look easy to score. I love watching clips from this season as they were such a well rounded team and I have no doubt had they beat MSU in the Elite 8 this would have been a national championship team.
Fizer had a nice mid range game and he did knock down 15-42 3's that season that kept the defense honest when they left him alone on the perimeter. You also will see in this video he wasn't too bad handling the ball for a 6-8 265 lb guy too. This year's team is not going to be an offensive juggernaut and even as good as our guards and wing players are they still don't have the talent Tinsley, Horton, and Nurse combined did but I think they would benefit a lot if they had a bruiser like Fizer in the paint to give them some easier baskets.

I am surprised he is somewhat forgotten by a lot of fans.
Big Vic was a fantastic post player and made the NBA for years too.
This. Need someone who can put ball through basket. How bout we give our leading scorer a call??
Although selfishly I’d love to see the magician Mel Tinsley play college ball again. Nuthin like it.
Thanks for getting my pressure up.. That game was stolen with that bogus foul call. To your point, if not jobbed, they are National champs. That wasn't lost on many, when in the final coaches poll, they were ranked 3rd.
MSU 2000 title will be forever tarnished, IMO
Forever it will be remembered as the great robbery th malice in the palace

I was amazed how long Big Vic lasted in the NBA, slimmed down got in shape and had a good run. During his playing days at ISU I remember a lot of the time the other 4 would be down the court and he'd lumber down post up and go from there. LOL.
White is out IMO. I don't think he would fit in this locker room at all, let alone want to play defense every trip down the floor.
Grayer, Fizer, Cato FTW.
