ISU 3rd best at players to get drafted

[zmanzbo]

Since the Big 12 was formed ISU has the 3rd most players drafted. Was not aware of this. Just heard it while watching the McD show.

Probably old news but thought that was pretty nice.

 

[cyclonenate]

Thats pretty shocking. Doesn't seem like it the way we've played the last few years :sad:

Is Tinsley playing in the NBA? He would be the only Clone still in the league right?

Yeah he's with the Grizzlies. And you're right about him being the only NBAer, if you don't count the d-league.

Trying to think.
Fizer
Tinsley
Will
Vroman

Am I wrong in thinking Vroman was drafted?

 

[kingcy]

Am I wrong in thinking Vroman was drafted?

I think you are right, he was a 2nd round pick to the Suns.

 

[kcclones]

Am I wrong in thinking Vroman was drafted?

Vroman was drafted

 

[GMackey32]

Am I wrong in thinking Vroman was drafted?

Vroman was drafted in 2004. I think #1 or #2 in the second round.

We have had 7 players drafted?

Tinsley
Fizer
Will
Taylor
Fred
Cato
DW

Willoughby wasn't drafted. Loren Meyer was in 1995, but he and Hoiberg were drafted before the Big 12 started.

The Mayor finished before the Big XII, he was done in 95 and the Big XII was formed in the fall of 96, right after we won the final Big 8 tourney.

So we are reigning Big 8 Champions in basketball, and always will be

 

[LindenCy]

Tinsley, Fizer, Cato, Blalock, Vroman, Taylor. Not sure who else since 1996. Does it count Haluska who played with us one year and then was a second rounder?

 

[dtclones]

Willoughby wasn't drafted. Loren Meyer was in 1995, but he and Hoiberg were drafted before the Big 12 started.

I think by Will, he means Blalock. He was the second to last pick in the draft if I remember correctly. And can you really consider Mike Taylor as a ISU draft?

 

[LindenCy]

I think by Will, he means Blalock. And can you really consider Mike Taylor as a ISU draft?

No, not Will, he also had DW. I assumed Willoughby.

Taylor and Haluska would bring us to 7. I see no other way.

 

[kingcy]

Willoughby wasn't drafted. Loren Meyer was in 1995, but he and Hoiberg were drafted before the Big 12 started.

I thought the Bulls drafted him. Thanks.

 

[LindenCy]

I thought the Bulls drafted him. Thanks.

No, but you are right. He did play for the Bulls for a little while while Floyd was coaching.

 

[kingcy]

I think by Will, he means Blalock. He was the second to last pick in the draft if I remember correctly. And can you really consider Mike Taylor as a ISU draft?

Yes yes and yes.

 

[dtclones]

No, but you are right. He did play for the Bulls for a little while while Floyd was coaching.

He played in Italy before going to the Bulls.

 

[LindenCy]

He played in Italy before going to the Bulls.

Ah cool. I knew he wasn't drafted but then got a free agent contract with the Bulls for part of a season.

So still to get to 7 we need:

Tinsley, Fizer, Vroman, Blalock, Cato, and then add Taylor and Haluska. Otherwise I don't know.
