His wife's family is a big booster at K State, he goes and sits in box seats up there and he's an ISU fan too but he likes Iowa more than K State. His troll game is weak

I never said anything about being a big booster, but I digress, back to the topic of basketball. Sorry to get off track.

Do you think ISU will be better than Iowa next year?

Yes, I think our younger players will have alot higher ceiling next year than Iowa although it wont neccessarily be reflected in the won-loss column. I think we beat them in Hilton. Iowa will probably be around .500 again without Jok, I dont see them improving much next season.

After they fire Fran, I wonder if they will go after John Licklighter. His dad was such a success over there in Iowa City, maybe he can get some excitement back in that program.

They want a coach that can scream, yell, throw temper tantrums, and look like a clown on the sidelines. Maybe they will go after Tim Miles.

Don't worry, we still get to see that hot head on the side lines for many more years. They haven't figured out that he can't coach and they will never be good while he's the coach yet. They are typically 5 years behind the curve on things like this.
 
What happened to that FrostyMitchell guy? You guys need to lay off me and get after that drunken TavernHok who was trying to say Christian Williams and Ellingson are good. I just try to bring stats and facts into a discussion, that guy is just plain dumb.

He must have sobered up and realized Iowa sucks.

Now that we can all agree the Big Ten defenses were terrible at football last year, let's get this thread back on track and talk about how much better ISU will be than Iowa next year at basketball.

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals...our-star-is-pushing-hardest-for-a-fifth-star-

With each update we’ve done to the 2017 rankings over the last two years, Iowa State-bound combo guard Lindell Wigginton has moved himself closer and closer to five-star status. When the final ranking of the senior class hits in late April, he’ll be the hardest to deny when it comes to making the jump from four to five-star status.

Currently ranked No. 31 overall in the 2017 Rivals150, Wigginton has spent the last two years putting up huge numbers for Oak Hill in the high school season and on the Adidas Gauntlet circuit during the spring and summer. Sure, there may be some concern about whether or not he projects as a true point guard or as more of an off-the-ball scorer at Iowa State, but his production, skill, toughness and consistency can’t be denied.

Positions and roles continue to change in basketball and the things that Wigginton does well – primarily score it off the dribble and drain contested jumps – not only translate to the Big 12 level, but are things that the Cyclones are going to need from him right away.

Others that continue to really make me think hard about a potential bump to five-star status are Alabama-bound shooting guard John Petty and Kentucky-bound point guard Shai Alexander. A 6-foot-5 two guard with versatile game, Petty has done a great job of erasing concerns regarding his consistency as a senior and he’s developed into a dangerous jump shooter.

Like Wigginton, Alexander is originally from Canada, and the long and athletic 6-foot-4 ball handler has huge upside. He’s still got to improve his jump shooting from beyond the three-point line but his size, athleticism, floor vision and ability to get to the spots he needs to be are reasons he’s going to get serious five-star consideration.

I think I found the appropriate comparison for Lindell:

Shabazz Napier

Should be a fun 4 years. Enjoyment of the ride will be had by all.

This can't be real life.

In Fran's defense, it's pretty tough to manage a roster when you can go 11 or 12 deep...
