Totally agree with this. Wait and see how ready he is in the fall. He still has spring and summer to get stronger and with Lard, young, Jacobson they don't need him to be a banger inside. Plenty of guys play on the slender side and do fine with it. He has a very particular set of skills.

The three you listed is one more than this season. Talley can play some 4.
That said, don't be surprised if he doesn't redshirt.
The three you mentioned.
And yes, also think Zoran and Zion (
) could see time at the 4.Worrying about who will be the 5th or 6th post? It’s obvious your favorite team is Iowa.
We’ll be just fine with those three and Talley as needed if Conditt or Griffin need some time to adjust.
Yeah, Prohm really ****** up in recruiting. We need at least 6 more power forwards. You can't play more than one guard at a time, Steve!
Actually was asking who the 4th PF/C would be, not 5th or 6th.
You guys think Lard, Young and Jacobson will play a combined 80 MPG next season?
I hope we go after a slow footed unathletic center this off season. This team really needs a center.
LOL. They essentially do this without Jacobson this year.
Lard and Young combine for about 52 MPG right now.
I don't think it's unrealistic that Lard averages 27-30, Young about 25-27 and Jacobson 18-22.
As mentioned before, if ISU wants to go small they could put Talley or ZG at the 4.
Again, it’s clear you’ve been brainwashed by Fran.
Lard, Young, and Jacobson will be the deepest forward rotation that we’ve had in many years, so yes they can play 80 minutes. In the event of foul trouble, we can always do what we’ve done for the previous 6 years and go small with Talley at the four. We may do that anyways given the success it can have.
So you think Jacobson will play about 25ish MPG next year? Ok, thats all I was asking.
Talley is pretty bad so for ISU's sake it would probably be best if he were passed in the rotation next season.
Could even do a 4 guard lineup with Wigg, Shayok, Babb, THT, and Lard. Will be able to play multiple ways depending on the best match ups on a given night. Something we don't have the option to do this year.
Talley isn’t bad, unless we continue to use him as a shooting guard. Even then he’s a great bench guy that can handle the ball and defend four positions. I realize defense and ball handling aren’t prioritized by Fran, but those things are valuable.
