Clayton Custer Transfering
- Thread starter mkleve44
- Start date
I don't get it either. This confirms for me that Monte isn't going anywhere and has told Fred as much. Fred then told CC that he's looking at the same thing at least for next season and CC is transferring. No big deal.
Re: Custer Transferring
Is the "shocker" reference yours or from Goodman? Could be a hint.
The curse of recruiting the best players is that they actually want to play. Best of luck to him. Always seemed to be a team player here. Even though he wasn't getting into the games, I noticed he would often be the first one out to greet players after an opponent called a momentum-breaking timeout.

You pretty much answered your own question. If you have three scholarships available you should probably look at both options.
I pretty much expected this... that bought with Mono hurt him this year, and hurt us a little going forward. He was looking at least another year as a backup PG so I can't blame him. Hoping Hoiberg saw this coming as well.
I'd say one of two things happen if Monte leaves after next year:
1) Cooke is the PG for the following 2 years
2) Fred signs a stud HS PG in '16
He had some good offers. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if he does end up back at a Kansas State or an Oklahoma State and have a very good career there. Maybe he will go the mid-major route, but regardless he's a good player who can certainly be successful in D1 basketball.
The suggestions that Monte might do something dumb- are dumb (declaring for the draft despite abundant evidence that he won't )
My guess..only a guess...is that Cooke had more to do with this than Morris. HC is going to be pretty good.
Im not surprised he's transferring.....I'm surprised he's doing it THIS year.
he had to know he wasn't unseating Morris this year or next as a starter. In games he played he didn't look terribly ready to contribute.
I mean he was so gung-ho about being a Cyclone, committed really early didn't he?
Either way....good luck kid and thanks for your work this year.
I like Clayton a lot but it seemed pretty clear that his lack of size and strength would make it difficult for him to be a significant contributor next year. The parting of ways is a good move for him and our program.
I'm expecting Fred's staff will find a JC transfer who is more physically ready to give some back up minutes to Monte next year.
It's pretty cool that our program has reached the level where we're worrying about the quality of our 2nd and 3rd stringers (kind of like Nebraska football in the 80's).
Got to keep Monte healthy!!

Ummm Hallice Cooke???? Custer was never going to be the guy at point for ISU. A good back up was pretty much his ceiling.
I'm sure there are people trying to get into Monte's ear and telling him he's ready for the NBA now.
