Not sure you can consider a guy that backs up only one spot a 6th man. Unless we add another big we'll be lucky to get a combined 40 minutes out of those two.

Now backing up Hinson, it would be nice if Johnson, Dubar or Blackwell could eat those minutes but it would take a big step up.

that’s nothing to get excited about. That’s actually an awful team. End this now and let’s start over. It’s just the truth.
 
Johnson isn't a Big XII starter. That's about as far as I can tone down my thoughts on the matter.

As my grandmother always said, say something nice or nothing at all.

Hunter is a legitimately big-time recruit. But yes, he'll be a freshman.

Bolton is a stud. If Hunter plays up to his rankings, even as a true freshman, that's a nice 1-2 punch.

Johnson... would be a bench guy on a good team, but maybe he is okay as the fifth best starter.

We expect a lot out of Hinson. Might be foolish, CW and crew have talked him up.

Conditt is still 6'10" and Foster is still 7' and was nearly a 5* recruit.

Prohm or not, I think there are at least a few nice pieces there. Some quality upperclassmen and new recruits that stuck with Iowa State between the McDermott/Hoiberg and Rhoads/Campbell transitions had a lot to do with our quick turnarounds, so let's hope that can happen again.

Good Johnson is a Big 12 starter. Bad Johnson isn’t even a MVC level starter. Unfortunately it seems like he either looks like he has NBA potential or he looks like he’s never played basketball before. One of the weirdest players I can remember at ISU. If he could somehow always play like he did at Texas, vs Baylor and Texas Tech he’d be a very solid piece.
 
Assuming Young and JCL don't want to come back for sixth years what are we looking at for a starting five?

add a couple more in there, and I’m guessing you will get your wish
