I doubt Tristen transfers. He'd have to sit out a year for his second one.
So, where do we go from here?
- Thread starter CyCloned
- Start date
the funny thing is those same Orr teams that got beat down on the road would beat those same teams at Hilton.
Meanwhile, back on topic of where we go now?
We had good looks, just missed. It was contagious too, it was everyone missing.
Hopefully it's just maintaining consistency and the program is reliable to be decent most seasons.
Football being bowl eligible and basketball being in the NCAA tourney most seasons is a pretty great thought.
Portal. We’re going big fish hunting at the center position and the hope is that AJ Green will come on down.
We have to get a shooter and a legitimate post presence out of the portal. Absolutely have to. Or going to be a long season.
My only hope is that our seniors decide quickly so TJ knows what he’s working with.
I like our freshman class, but it will take awhile for them to contribute. I don’t know that any are going to have immediate impact along the lines of Hunter, Haliburton, etc.
Lip set may be most ready if you consider his job is going to be spot minutes to back up Hunter. King may very well have the highest ceiling, but it’s a huge jump going from Minnesota 2A basketball to the Big 12. Watson is a total wildcard for me.

We won 22 games and made the sweet 16. I’m very happy
I just want us to be competitive when we get this far. It looks like a once per 6 or 7 year Sweet 16 appearance on average then we look like we've never played basketball before.
Credit the other teams I guess, and losing Niang really hurt in 2014 but besides Virginia we've been blown out twice now by a 7 and 10 seed.
I love the Hunter - Lipsey set up we have at the point.
We have talented guards and wings coming in with Eli King, Tamin Lipsey, Tre King and Demarion Watson. From the transfer portal, Cyclones need an athletic post who can score and reliable, 3 point shooting.
it was fun, loved it.
Just wanted to point out that last night was NOT the worst game ever
So, I just checked, and I've been here on CycloneFanatic.com since April of 2006. I really do enjoy this site, and I think when it comes to my online time I'm here more than any other site, with the possible exception of checking my email. And most of the time I really do enjoy being here and interacting with all of you, with the occasional and notable exceptions.
I'm writing all of this just to emphasize to anyone who is reading this that the quoted post above is the dumbest f*cking thing I've ever read on here in my close to 16 years on here.
Don't forget the other King, Tre King. That's one transfer in already for next year and has a year practicing with TJ and staff.
How about you go first?
As of right now.. The Big 12 has a chance to take a slight step down compared to this year. But there is SOO much transfer action left to confidently say that.
The goal HAS to be a birth in Des Moines for 2023 March Madness. That means we need to build a team capable of finishing top 5 in the Big 12 and top 25 by selection Sunday. The Midwest Regional is played in KC next season!
If IB stays. We need to add a sharp shooter with decent guard size to pair next to him.
I'd rather Gabe leaves and IB comes back. Replace Gabe with a big scoring guard who can shoot 3's.
George's scholarship needs to be filled with either another Jaz, Tre King type post who can really stretch a defense or a BULLDOG rebounder and defender
Jackson and Walker scholarship's would be AMAZING to upgrade.

Yeah, the part about the worst performance in ISU is laughable. Heck, there were a lot more embarrassing games this year. The entire last season was more embarrassing then that Sweet 16 loss. I mean they were in the game until 10 minutes left and it got away when Miami started making everything and ISU started missing everything.
