REPORT: Iowa State interested in Wichita State transfer

People need to realize, it looks like TJ is going all in on the no-middle defense like Texas Tech. Not going to recruit a 40% shooter who is garbage at D. Now if they can get a 40% shooter who is also great at D, thats the holy grail.

And defense isn't just how good you are 1on1. Its knowing the principles of the defense, where you are supposed to be and when, rotations, etc. I think Tre Jackson was just fine if not above average 1on1, but the overall is what held him back.

Look at Tech this year. Bryson Williams was over 40%, but in 2 years prior, it was 32% (so people can improve late). Terrence Shannon has gone from 26% to 35% to 38%. The other four players who shot a lot of 3's were 30, 31, 31, 34.

Baylor's this year had 2 great 3 point shooters and 4 guys right around 30%.

Neither of those teams sacrifice defense for shooters. Iowa State shouldn't either.

.400 as a freshman*, .336 as both a sophomore and a junior and .297 as a senior all on a similar volume concerns me less. It could be an easily correctable mechanics issue or an injury.

*The drop in percentage from freshman to sophomore coincides with the arc moving back.
It should concern you more. That's exactly the same kind of drop we saw from Kalscheur. We don't need another Kalscheur throwing up bricks relentlessly.

Hey now, are shots off the top of the backboard actually counted as bricks?

I hope Gabe comes back because he has a lot of value and be nice taking him off as our backup point guard is a must. More players who can create off the bounce and force more open looks for our guards this year would be a big help.

I just hope we can add scoring and shooting in the off-season
 
So we went from 2 Wins to 22 Wins. Kalscheur was an integral piece of that turnaround. Wins are what counts. I hope that our next transfers are as good as IB and Gabe.
I was being a smart ass.
