There is an allure to being able to put players in the NBA, but coaches like Prohm can't figure out how to re-stock the cupboards fast enough. I would prefer if he, personally would take the approach Fred did and go for 3-4 year players that end up sticking in the pros when they're done. Fran's approach is fine, but it's nice being able to follow your favorite players basketball careers once their done playing collegiately.
Bolton is similar to Weiskamp. Really good player that can go for stretches where he plays like a knucklehead.
Talen was not a for sure first round pick. He was a mid four star recruit. He had a similar ranking to Weiskamp coming out of high school who is still stuck at Iowa with likely no NBA future.
I'd look and see what our NBA expert Benji said but we know it was stupid, so why waste time?
This to a T. Bolton was playing like one of the best players in the Big 12 the last 2-3 weeks of the season last year. Just takes time when you're a new piece or you're surrounded by new pieces.
Everyday of the week and twice on Sunday- Fran’s plan of relying on non NBA players who stay 4 and 5 years is finally paying off on Year 11. ISU’s success over the last 20 years with guys going early all the way back to Fizer shows that you need horses to get it done consistently. ISU’s challenge they don’t reload as quickly as the Dukes, KU’s , Gonzaga’s of the world. But over an extended period of time, they have reloaded faster and better than IA.
