Andy Katz 5 impact sophomores

"Tyrese Haliburton, 6-5, G, Iowa State: Haliburton wasn’t expected to be a go-to scorer last season. He averaged 6.8 points, 3.4 boards and 3.6 assists. Those numbers should climb. Marial Shayok took many shots, and Lindell Wigginton, when healthy, was counted on to produce. Haliburton should assume much more of a leadership role as a sophomore for Steve Prohm and shine in the Big 12. Haliburton stepped up in the Big 12 tournament with 13 against Baylor and 11 in a championship victory over Kansas."

There are obviously probably a lot I am missing. Also, some of these guys we are probably after harder than others. Lastly, this is just the Flo rankings - we have some very good kids not ranked that have committed and some others we will get too.

Know of any I'm missing? Please add to the list. With summer and fall approaching, recruiting will pick up a lot in the next 5-6 months.

On That Note - Wax and Wane

Happy Wednesday and welcome to another weekly edition of On That Note. OTN is a music discussion forum hosted by myself, @cyclones500 and @CycloneRulzzz.

This weeks OTN is based on a suggestion from @Knownothing.

The focus this time is on groups/acts you used to like but now don't like. And conversely, groups/acts you formerly didn't care for, but have over time, or for some reason, come to appreciate.

Thus the title Wax and Wane. And as cyclones500 pointed out when he suggested the title, 'wax' is also a slang term for a record.

Please elaborate on how the change occurred or what was the reason.

Also please post the song or songs that most caused that change, either positive or negative.

Here is a link to last week's post, "Give Us Your Keys"

Now, my initial contribution...

Leslie Gore (overplayed - especially It's My Party). Instead of that I'll post a song of hers that is less played I still enjoy hearing on occasion: California Nights.

Next you have The Four Seasons who also are overplayed. And the similarity between songs is quite, well, similar. Then throw in the fact I'm not a huge fan of the male falsetto voice you have a strong reason why I'm over them. And like Leslie I actually still DO sorta like one of their songs. C'mon Marianne.

Lastly Neil Diamond. Back when Oldies radio was a thing there was a local station that strongly catered to Neil Diamond fans (they called them "Diamond heads"). It got old fast so I started holding a grudge against his music. I do sort of still tolerate some earlier stuff of his and even like the Monkees' performances of his tunes.

In the opposite vane, when Fleetwood Mac were making it big, especially during Rumours, I was not much of a fan. I've grown more of a fan over time. All except the Tusk album. No thanks.

INSIDER: Quick analysis on Rayjon Tucker

Real quick on this: Sounds like he had a workout for the Bucks today and will have a few more NBA workouts next week.

The feeling is that ISU is in a good spot here because of playing time, style of play and the fact that he'd be a featured guy in Ames. I also heard that he hit it off well with ISU's current players on the visit.

Memphis likes its chances because of the Penny Hardaway angle and the fact that they, like ISU, are a young team where Tucker could shine.

Auburn seems to be right there while I'm hearing Kansas is a little farther behind due to the fact that in Lawrence, he'd be more like "another guy."

Not sure on a timeline but the thought is he'd pick a school and then ultimately make a decision on the NBA.
