Is Next Year’s Team Honestly Going To Be Any Good?

I'll enjoy Maui either way baby

How are you going to get tix, unless you're a big donor?

I agree that depth is an issue. Depth doesn’t seem to be any better next season. Relying on freshman for depth is risky business unless you can bring in recruits like Duke and Kentucky. I also don’t feel like I’m overreacting, but you’re entitled to your opinion.

You are adding a Big 12 quality Jr big. That will be huge for the team.

 

[bozclone]

I think we will be significantly better next year. At the very least, we add THT, Shayok, Jacobson to the rotation. We only really lose Jackson. Lard and Wigginton likely make big jumps as sophomores. Both should be way more consistent.

 

[FinalFourCy]

Maybe. We need to add a primary ball handler that can shoot. Maybe a forward that can shoot too, but that secondary.

Babb-sr
Talley-sr
Long-jr
Young-jr
Jacobsen-jr
Shayok-jr? Sr?
Lard- so
Wigginton-so
Lewis-so

Oh...and we have a top 25 recruiting class ON TOP OF THAT. Even if you think everyone in the team sucks purely from a numbers standpoint we have WAY more depth. Read a book you’re embarrassing yourself.

We beat WVU without Babb and were 2-6 in conference with him, so it’s not like we are much worse without him going 1-2.

Because record alone indicates whether our guys are making any strides.

I knew this wasn’t going to be an easy season, but it’s become a disaster very quickly. We have two games where we look like world beaters then go back to looking like scrubs against Baylor and Texas Tech tonight. This brings me to my ultimate question: is ISU really good to be as good as everyone thinks next season? Sure, we get Shayok, but we lose Jackson and most of our lineup next season is going to consist of the same guys that can’t put together any sort of consistent string of games. Our players don’t seem to be making any strides during this season, and, if anything, we are looking worse as the season goes on. We have no bench, guys like Lewis seem like they won’t contribute at all. I’m starting to lose optimism in this team, especially for next season. If we are going to be good then guys like Zion Griffin and THT are going to have to be world beaters from day one. These guys can’t put together a solid 40 minutes anymore and it is beyond frustrating watching our guys play. What are everyone else’s thoughts on next season? I hope I’m wrong, I just don’t see us being any decent.

Were gonna suck I would find alternative entertainment next winter.

When @GTO gets unbanned I hope he comes in and JFC’s this **** post.

how did he get banned? Don't get the inside scoop like I use to.

I would agree with this

Or they all go into sophomore slumps like Iowas whole team

 

[FredCyclone]

There will be no conference championships or final fours under Prohm.

Can't coach team offense or defense.

Great recruiter.

I'd consider Babb that

Right, but this year our "depth" consists of a slow stretch forward with bad knees, an undersized former football player who prefers to jack up long 2's or 3's, and a couple of underclassman guards who can't generate anything offensively. Not to mention zero walk ons to use as practice dummies. Things can only go up from here.

 

[Gunnerclone]

That’s always a good thing to have in basketball but Babb will probably be the primary ball handler next year and what I want to see is him pushing tempo and running us like mad men.

You don't get to complain and throw around your overreactions and then hit it with the caveat "I hope I'm wrong". Either stand with your basic internet rant or don't, you can't have both.

 

[bozclone]

Babb, Wigginton, Shayok, THT, Lard, Solo, Jacobson, Talley.

That is a quality Big 12 rotation. If other guys step up and take minutes from any of these guys, that means we will be that much better.

Advice for op, wait 24 hours after an event to comment publically about it.

So your saying that it will be the same as it has been since 2001 and your point?
