Another Player Only Meeting...
- Thread starter CyFan03
- Start date
If I didn't know anything about ISU basketball and didn't look up records, or resumes or anything and then read this thread and a couple others I would think this team was in serious danger of not making the tournament.
This is my take on the deal. ISU is a great team. The players know it, the coaches know it, our competition knows it, and the media pundits know it. If winless Minnesota can knock off #6 Maryland then my Cyclones can take it all the way. Time to man up, put the big boy pants on, and fans back their team. Buy in ALL the way!
And don't forget adding McDermott and Brian Peterson banners to the rafters. Apparently McDoormat era wasn't a trainwreck and Brian Peterson was a better PG then Hornacek, Thigpen, Tinsley, Stinson, Blalock, Monte, etc

Others can confirm or deny, but I thought he was back practicing with the team. Now if he is medically cleared I don't know. But that might be something that comes up in the review
It's possible that he's healed as much as he can heal, and time won't necessarily change the outcome. Did Bo Jackson need more time, or was he just maxed out with his recovery when he ended his career early? It happens all the time in sports.
Maybe playing 15-20 minutes in the next 7-12 games this year, is something that Naz's hips can handle better than 30+ games next year.
My point is that we don't know what's going on between Naz, his doctors, Prohm and the team. It's not as out of the question as you make it sound.

I know we would like to see him comeback, but like I said, he really seemed to have made peace with his decision and the excited to have a full Cyclone basketball season to play next year when he will have more than 18 months of recovery. He loves being a Cyclone and doesn't want his last year to be looked back on where he couldn't perform at the level he knows he is capable....
Stay positive, do not tear anyone down. Remember, we are all Cyclones and these guys are working hard to get better.
I'm not sure where you got any of that from anyone's posts. Use of hyperbole does not aid in you in making your point here...whatever that point might be...
Yes. They want you permanently banned from all games. Revkah & Miss Z can attend, though...
tongue:
I think we'd all feel incredibly fortunate to have a three guard lineup of Monte, Matt and Naz in a key transition year for the program.
Which option gives us a better shot at a Final Four?
(I'd wait until next year, but I can certainly see why he may consider playing this year. )
