Fair enough, that is a good point. I am a big college basketball fan, but admittedly did not watch a lot of PAC 12 games during Hallice's freshman year, and can't recall if I even saw him play....and I bet most of the CF members are the same....But if you did catch some of them, you probably do have a good idea of how he approaches the game and his skillset......Bottom line, we need both guys to be not just solid, but play to their potential the next 2 years if we want to get where we are expected to be in 2016, and keep the momentum somewhat the following year..

And I can agree to that. I think Matt has an advantage in that he has had to develop from a "Catch and shoot" type player to having to create more shots or dribble-drive. I saw Cooke do that, but I think Matt has more experience doing it and has a better floater whereas I think Cooke has a better jumpshot/step back shot.

Absolutely, this is a great "problem" to have considering that both are talented players. I certainly agree that both need to be at their best for us be as good as we want to be. I think for Matt the key to that realization is confidence/consistency or as you said the mental side of the game. For Cooke, I think it is fully recovering from surgery, knocking off the rust, and diversifying his game a little more. The first two take time. The last is his "skill" to focus on.

Sorry to high jack the recruitment thread. Let's be honest, this is CF where the points don't matter and we rarely stay on topic. Back to recruitment!

WTH I come to potentially see new info on 2016 guys we are in on or anything new on the 2017-18 and all I get is 2 posts about re recruiting. Common guys make a different post for this roster what if, who's better convo

Chill your ****. It happens. Know that if you see such a conversation in the recruiting thread there is likely no new news on recruits.

Most of the targets are now off the board for now. Curry and kostas are most noteworthy at this point.....

At this point... Coach Otz tweeted earlier that he is on the road recruiting this week. I have no idea if that means we'll see additional targets become known domino's start to fall but I wouldn't be surprised if a couple more names pop up.

LOL, well said. I will take a thread derailment with a good discussion over Josh4cyclones way too many meandering posts with little substance

What are you talking about?! I'm always really happy when I click on a thread and then notice the last post was by Josh4cyclones, because then I get to find out which recruits he WANTS or thinks will pick which school at any given moment.

Man where would this class be without T.J.??
Also someone should tell Coach Small he needs to change his Twitter Profile as he is still listed as an assistant coach for Murray State. That doesn't look great

Not a big surprise but ISU is out on Cook.

@jeffborzello: ESPN 100 forward Tyler Cook (No. 51) tells ESPN he is down to Iowa and Florida. Decision coming in the near-future.

One of the reasons McKay left Marquette is because he didn't want to play C. He has no problems playing the 5 here though, because it's not the old slow traditional way. Malou is a SF, that doesn't mean he's our 3.

Has it been a long dry spell for quality players coming out of Central Iowa? Seems like Iowa almost always had 1-2 decent recruits and about every 2-3 years a high caliber guy was around but it seems like forever.

Well I am glad u guys all care. And to be honest I get my info from people like Alex Halsted and post it here for information wise to ones that don't tweet or do the social media thing. So sorry if I am actually given accurate info to ones that want it. And sorry for being a "fanatic" and wanting certain guys to come play for our school. So I guess if other cyclone fans want to put down other cyclone fans maybe this needs to change to a hawk site! Because that's how your all are acting and this isn't just being done to me, I see it done to others.
By the way I am not the only one whom has issues with coming to a recruiting forum to find ramblings about non recruiting stuff. I am just the one to voice it. I understand recruiting is quite right now so let's talk but don't put others down when they bring stuff up like where is the recruiting talk.
