Don't think so

Really? Not what we wanted to here. Why a sit-out transfer then, especially with no Lard yet. Maybe we could have used a juco rebounder. Would have been nice to have in case of injury, which just happened with Solomon.

Yeah...we know why he left KState. But the question was, how did GMac fetch him. I'm sure he learned from his mistakes and Creighton is the benefactor.
He can recruit. He did decent at Iowa St, and is doing better at Creighton. As far as Foster, McDermott almost had him committed to Creighton out of HS, so it was an easy sell after Foster left KSt.

I think Kasongo can be a less foul prone Holden.

We're going to need more than that out of our forwards next year though. I'm taking a wait and see attitude on this, as almost all of our transfers have pleasantly surprised. I think getting into a new situation and practicing with the team without the pressures of playing, along with the added maturity, can really help players develop.

It would be a surprise. His mother has never had any interest in her kids going to ISU. Don't think I haven't pushed ISU on her since her kids were babies. If Prohm pulls off that commitment no one should ever have a worry on his ability to recruit. I'd l love to have him. Great family...parents were both amazing athletes..
Great family other than dad wandering on occasion.

Had to make a call...ISU is very much in the hunt for Race and a favorite. Had a great visit!..Biggest selling point to coming to Ames is CSP...Race really likes Prohm.


That's good news because we're going to have to land 2-3 top 100 kids in the next 12 months to go along with Lindell or we're going to struggle to keep pace with this league.

I thought our recruiting class was first in the Big 12 to this point? Sure, KU will pass us, but that start is more than struggling to keep pace.

In terms of recruiting class rankings this probably the best ISU has had in many years. Now how that translates we will see.

They need to finish out with some JC's who can finish around the rim..

Next year will be a huge change, and a fresh start. First year in a long time without expectations. I like years like that sometimes as you can just enjoy watching the team develop (and surprise at times).
