Absolutely. Fred has had 4 years and only made it to the Sweet 16 once. We as fans deserve to see progression each year, otherwise I think Fred knows where he stands.

My expectations are to make the NCAA tournament again and then see what happens. As we know, the tournament involves luck, draw, how you are playing at the moment, injuries, etc.
Because you would have to actually follow ISU basketball to know about BDJ, Nader, and McKay. They don't show up on Rivals recruiting page. 110% troll.

You chose this as your first post?? I don't like your tone of voice without a use of a jimlad.
No one is with you, you are all by yourself. I am singling you out.
I don't have expectations for a team, ever. I learned that lesson the hard way in 2000-2001.
I think you'll find it much more enjoyable to just watch the games and appreciate the two hours of entertainment. And if there's a few more games to play after the season is over...bonus.

I have people on here questioning why I didn't mention the incoming transfers. While I have heard good things about them, I am not going to pretend (like most people on here) I know a lot about these players without watching any film on them. I actually think people on here just blindly assume these transfers are going to fill in just because we have had recent success with these guys.
My advice to these fans, just stick with what you know, then people will respect you for you for your knowledge.

Blindly is a pretty strong word.
We have plenty of video and a strong coaching track record to look at. That's not blindly assuming, but carry on.
OP, a word of advice.
Definitely nothing wrong with being optimistic with you predictions, but you lose a lot of credibility when you say things like "Final Four or bust." It makes it sound like you would be genuinely upset with the team if we don't make the Final Four, which is obsurd and would indeed make you a horrible fan.

Says the poster who described the new Greek kid as big time (based on what, the 3 minutes of youtube vids?) and called on Clayton Custer to replace Kane's playmaking (based on what he did playing HS hoops in Kansas?). And I guess you have also dubbed Thomas as Matty Buckets, I'm assuming this is based on the fact that the kid was ripped on this board all season for not living up to expectations as a shooter.
But sure, we don't know squat about these transfers, other than stats and video of them actually playing college hoops.
1. BodeClone, how long have you been a cyclone fan?
2. do you realize we aren't even on the same level as KU, Duke, UK, MSU and Others? Not even close! (Duke lost to MERCER, anything can happen)
3. Melvin Ejim was a HUGE reason for our success last year.
4. The TRANSFER was the second biggest reason.
5. I would be satisfied with an Elite Eight, anything more is a stretch.
6. MattyBuckets?
7. I love a fan being optimistic, but don't get your feelings hurt when it doesn't happen.
