Nebraska parting ways Matt Abdelmassih
- Thread starter CyVeteran
- Start date
I know he stopped recruiting some guys that William Small was the lead on because the family wanted money. Who knows if Small went rogue but I know Prohm wanted a clean program
My dad and I went to the Iowa State - West Virginia game when Matt was here and he was really nice. Now, obviously that doesn't mean anything, but for the reasons you listed I hope there's nothing to that story.
I don't know anything about this story, but my initial thought was that Fred was firing him because Fred is on the hot seat and coaches will get rid of assistants when they're on the hot seat to try and save their job.
IIRC, Frost basically fired his entire offensive staff this year and I don't think there were any allegations of misconduct by any of them
I never paid full price for a pair of Nikes while at ISU in the late 80's. Always bought them out of the trunk of a basketball player. It was amazing how many shoes and different sizes the players were given as equipment.
This is probably quintupled now. Some players have new shoes every game it seems. More power to them, Nike is making more than enough off athletes.
Matt was huge part in the turnaround during Fred's tenure. He has had nothing but positive things to say about ISU and openly talked about how hard it was to leave. Did Matt play the game of recruiting, sure, but I will never hold that over him. Solid guy that did the dirty work for Fred.
I always thought those had to returned back to the school, and ultimately Nike.
Man I just looked up Dirty Laundry on Urban Dictionary and if every program has that there is some weird as **** stuff going on in college basketball. Especially John's Dirty Laundry what the bleep is that.
I assure you 100% that THT was not paid to come, but he settled to come to Ames. We were not his first choice.
I think you are probably thinking of Diallo, who ended up at KU. Seems like ISU was in good shape then leaned SJU before ending up at KU.
Darien Williams, JUCO transfer. Didn't amount to much so we didn't miss out. Also took away any chance of us landing Chieck Diallo
I thought that he had a lot of really good recruits but he also signed a lot of guys that were not very good around those good players. TH, THT, Monte, Wigginton, etc. were very good players, but the guys around them were just not that great. The fact the several of the better guys left after 1 or 2 years also hurt Prohm. In the end, I would agree, that when it came to coaching the games, he was not very good. Last year you could just see he wanted to get fired.
It happens everywhere to a degree, NIL has just put it all out in the open & the difference is some have deeper pockets then others. Dirty bs has been the norm for decades & ppl are delusional if they think anyone is 100% clean.
He had a ******* NBA roster for most of his time here and did **** with it?
He did the same as the coach before with them. Not a fan of Prohm, but we had two coaches who peed away the roster.
Guy decommitted from us after the change it the coaching staff and followed Matt. I can't remember the player but didn't amount to much. Let's also not forget Chiz and Cael did the same thing.
