Not that it would be ideal, but having the bigs of Young, Lard, Kasongo, and Beverly would be alright. We would be able to survive against other big 12 bigs, but we would need a lot of scoring from the guards. Lets hope Brown commits...

It's not entirely odd, he has a point. If Juiston really wanted to be at ISU he would have committed during his visit or shortly after. He continued taking visits to see what else was out there. Perhaps he would find something better. Even some people in the long thread were stating how weird the recruiting process with him was going because it was like he was almost waiting for more offers to come his way to see what else he could get. Meanwhile, Beverly has come out publicly and stated he wants to play at ISU and he doesn't even have an offer yet. He's putting himself out there and that goes a long ways.
I would have loved to have Juiston come here, but that ship has sailed. Now, we have a 6'6" 250lb 21 year old who averaged 16 pts and 6 rbs in D-1 last season wanting to come play for ISU? Sign him up, please!
A fat ass is really underrated. Although, I bet the staff would try to get him to drop some lbs to try to max out his quickness.
I like that he's at least comfortable on the perimeter even if his 3pt shot isn't great. Even if he doesn't have a great jumper, he's probably gonna be more comfortable than Solo, Lard, or Kasongo.
I agree, but he said he'd rather have players that want to be here, as opposed to those that don't. That's not really saying anything at all, because every player that doesn't want to be here, isn't going to be here. I would still rather have Juiston than Beverly, and yesterday most everyone here would say the same, so what's the difference today?
Yeah, I don't expect Beverly to be much more than Bowie, but I did say before I'd rather have Morrow than Juiston and I still believe that. I'll be sad if he goes to Marquette.
This development should be helpful in recruiting Morrow.
Juiston is a great Juco player. Would he average 18 points and 10 rebounds playing D1 against the likes of Kansas or Oklahoma ect??? Highly unlikely at least the first year. Maybe 10 and 5. I'd take Morrow in a heartbeat over Juiston any day.
Yeah, the problem is that both Marquette and Xavier have a space for Morrow. That being said, I suspect Marquette is lying to Morrow because I don't see slap the floor Wojo ever letting Hauser play defense on the perimeter allowing Morrow to be the 4.
Xavier has Kaiser Gates and Tyrique Jones so they're not exactly looking for a starter type like we are.

When I hear Beverly say he wants to be a Cyclone I'm hoping that means he wants to come in the early summer, change his physique by gaining muscle and losing fat and spend hours shooting in the gym like Thomas, Long, Niang etc. I don't think Bowie or Holden bought into that part of the game until mid-season. If Beverly does that he could be one of the 8 key contributors that make a late season run leading to an NCAA bid and a surprising appearance in the elite 8.
I'm excited about the potential of Lard and Kasongo to go w/ Young, and getting Beverly might complement it well. Roster has good talent in the backcourt, if 4/5 is "by committee" rotation, we're in decent shape.
You realize he visited UNLV before us right? By your logic, he doesn't really want to go there since he didn't commit on or directly after that visit. He visited two other schools after he visited UNLV.
For one year options, there really isn't much better after losing out on Juiston.
With Beverly, as it sits, I think we've got a decent shot at the tournament. Just depends on how quickly all the new parts gel. Add Brown and I'm feeling like it goes from decent to likely.
We like JB's desire to be a Cyclone, but we also realize it may have something to do with a lack of offers from good P5 programs.
Morrow averaged 9 and 7 at Nebraska. Isn't that about the same?
?? Yeah cause I'm the one freaking out because he didn't come here, or talking bad about him because he went to UNLV.
10 and 8 if you round up. And, that was as a Sophomore. Likely to exceed that as a junior after sitting out a year.
