Juco/Transfers vs Recruits

[prosey18]

This one may be tougher than it looks

If you had to pick 5 players over the last 5 seasons, would it be 5 juco/d1 transfers or Hoiberg/Prohm recruits.

*All players must have finished senior year at Iowa State

Kane
Clyburn
Babb

I'd replace babb with hogue. It'd be like an all garbage man lineup.

There's really not anyone else.

DG definitely wasn't a Hoiberg recruit, and Ejim is only partly a Hoiberg recruit.

Not sure we could field a team then.

I'll let you keep Ejim on technicalities, so the lineup has to be:

Starters:
Monte
Naz
Thomas
Ejim
Niang

Bench:
Ellerman

The 5 year timeline rules out DG.



According to the OP, the earliest season we can consider is Niang's freshman year.

So, Royce and Scotty are also out for the Juco side of things.

The 4 year players would be fine starters vs starters, but the depth of the transfers would be too much.

Why bother putting Prohm recruits if they have to have finished their senior year? None of Prohm's HS recruits could qualify in two years.

Yeah, pretty much handcuffs you. Should just be high school recruits vs transfers of the last 5 years.

 

[Antihawk240]

Not sure where he fits in or if he even qualifies for this forum, but I'll take whom I believe was Hoibergs very 1st transfer recruit: Jake Anderson from 2011 season, the 1st Northern Illinois Transfer we ever got

Not sure Jake would have made the starting line up the last few seasons, but that 2011 season Him, Garrett, and Scotty were about the only bright spots.

Note: I had to google him actually and I see he is still playing professionally in the NBL Canada. Man I loved watching him play.

Give me Jake Anderson as a Transfer team bench player please.

Royce and Scotty were both D1 transfers.

 

[CycloneErik]

Royce and Scotty were both D1 transfers.

Marquette may as well be a JUCO for us. I'll allow it on a technicality.

HS recruits have the edge in my mind, particularly when you get the added bonus of getting to know them better.
