I am not falling for Lard being out of shape. Something more is going on. These athletes have been work on conditioning year around. I understand CM was absent this summer but he's been back in campus since school started. If he is out of shape that is on the coaches and himself. I just get a feeling there is more to this story! We can sugar coat and make up excuses, bottom line where there is smoke there is fire...sorry but I'm not falling for the conditioning bit at all!

I don't know what he has been doing in terms of conditioning, but when he is on the floor playing basketball the guy looks like he gets tired and out of control pretty darn fast. As I said before, if you are averaging a foul a minute you are not going to be spending an lot of time on the floor, no matter how good you are. Cam needs to figure stuff out and stop fouling to get more playing time. Don't understand how fans can't see that.

Did Prohm say it was conditioning? The article that was shared by Hines didn’t quote Prohm as saying that. So has he said that?

Cam's been working on improving how he approaches things and Prohm has worked with him and they both directly said this in an article.

Not much more to it than that.

Cam said as long as the team is winning that's what's important so maybe we should melt down about his selflessness.

This is a guy who had to spend the entire summer away from ISU, the basketball program, and all his teammates at some place where he was supposed to get his life back on track (whatever that means).

Basketball is more than likely one of the least of his issues. And Prohm has been giving him every opportunity to straighten his life out both on and off the court. But at some point Cameron has to choose to do it himself.

The foul trouble has always been an issue for him. There's a lot of explanations for why that might be. If he isn't in shape, then he's probably out of position a lot and tries to make up for it by swatting at the ball a lot. Or if you are in good shape, you just aren't taking to the coaching you're getting and do whatever you want on the court instead.

Or you just completely lack discipline, which I think might be a large part of it. He believes he can block every shot, so he tries to every time, no matter if he's in foul trouble already or not? If you already have 2 fouls in the first half for example, you can't still try to block every shot, you have to have better discipline than that.

I just hope he can get everything in his life figured out, both on and off the court. His potential in basketball is unlimited if he can figure it all out. I'm rooting for him.
