RECRUITING: Temple transfer Jeremiah Williams commits to Iowa State

[DSM4Cy]

Starting with TJ seems to be more about setting the tone (on and off the court and at practice) than it is about minutes. We've also seen starters subbed out within 2 minutes. I don't really care who starts.

100%. Who cares who starts. Minutes are all that matters in the end and Gabe, or anyone who's struggling, will play less with a deeper roster.

He reminds me a little of Kane.

I'd be cool with a Kane v2.0!

 

[FerShizzle]

Did GK say for sure he was coming back?

 

[bawbie]

If the goal is to upgrade every outgoing player, this is a fantastic first step.

It depends, though, whether this is a replacement for Walker or Brockington.

 

[CyCloned]

Or if gabe still starts having a guy who can play for him off the bench nights when he shoots 0-9

I hope we are done with letting Gabe dig that big of a hole. 0-6 should be enough to tell him pass unless it is a layup or dunk.

I'm hopeful that Gabe focuses more on the shots inside, but I also think he could get his deep game going too. It's obviously in his head a bit, as he was missing some of those horribly at times.

I don't believe so - I haven't seen anything on him

On the Sunday Pod, Chris said his hunch is Gabe will return, largely because if he planned to bolt, he'd have announced by now.

Pretty sure we were told Blount was the connection here.

No need to be Blount about it.

 

[HoibergIsMyHero]

Just read the Q and A article by Stansburry with Williams. I was very impressed with him. Multiple times mentioned how winning is the most important thing to him.

Iowa State basketball breaking news: Cyclones land Temple guard transfer Jeremiah Williams

AMES- Following an incredible turnaround season that ended all the way in the Sweet Sixteen, the Iowa State Cyclones were expected to be active in the transfer portal

247sports.com

The Cyclones, along with the Illinois Fighting Illini, were rumored to be two of the top teams vying for Williams’ services next year, and beyond. Though much of ISU’s staff was high on Williams, Cyclones assistant coach Daniyal Robinson has incredibly strong Chicago ties, which certainly did not hurt Iowa State in this race for the former Owls’ player.

Robinson and the Cyclones have landed NBA player Talen Horton-Tucker, and longtime center George Conditt IV, among others from the Chicago area in the last few years.

If CW is 'guessing' Gabe will be back, he'll be back.

Trading Izaiah for Jeremiah! Any Ezekiel’s being recruited for 2023?

Well we already have an Elijah (Eli) coming in in 2022.

 

[Cyclones1969]

Gabe had the lowest Torvik rating on last years team. He should not be starting in 22/23

Prepare to be disappointed

Did anyone follow Temple basketball this year? His game log is very interesting. At the end of the season, Williams had a 7 game span where he averaged 36 mpg and 12 ppg. Then, the last two games of the season he played 12 minutes and 17 minutes, scoring a total of 8 points, and wasn't in foul trouble. That seems really weird.

I know he got hurt. (Shoulder)

Presumably related to the labrum injury he recently had surgery on.

Yes, I don't care who starts but still got to believe Gabe plays alot if he comes back and maybe starts......I still have the visual of Johnny Davis's face of frustration that whole game with Gabe on him.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Solid player with plenty of time to realize his full potential. He plays defense and wants to win. That's my kind of player.
