why? not like there's much of anything else going on. All of the other threads not involving new ISU interests will still be available for you to read.

My bad, free board stuff. Carry on.

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.

I wish we could find a JUCO or transfer rim protector.

 

[mjhavlo76]

Want.

6’5” wing shooting 35% from 3 for his career. High flyer athlete.

Had no clue who this guy was. Watched the highlight video and thought he’d be an absolute PERFECT fit with T.J.’s philosophies as a team. He is a good player!

 

[LLCoolCY]

And now a potential package deal.

 

[WhoISthis]

And now a potential package deal.

I'd be excited for both WSU transfers. Would make us a hell of a defense.

[CoachHines3]

40% from three as a freshman to 29% as a senior makes me a little hesitant

Gabe 2.0!

Half kidding

 

[scottwv]

And now a potential package deal.

I thought it was the dead period - how is he hearing from anyone?

 

[Hayes30]

Gabe hasn’t announced he’s coming back, so could be a possible replacement for him. If Gabe does come back, I guess we have a solid role player

The plan was always for him to be in Ames 2 years. He is not going to announce something that has already been stated.

 

[Hayes30]

I wish we could find a JUCO or transfer rim protector.

I bet the staff does too.

 

[Bipolarcy]

.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?

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Good looking athlete! I trust TJ.

 

[WastedTalent]

I don't think there's any dead period for the portal.
The portal is like 7 eleven...

 

[Stormin]

31% from 3 the last 2 years.. If it's another Gabe situation.. PASS. However, Brockington saw a big jump in his one year with us.

So you would have passed on Deandre Kane. Kane shot 31.8% from 3 pt. as a Freshman. Followed by 25% and 24.8% the next two years.

Yes because every player will have the identical outcome Kalscheur had.

 

[Stormin]

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.

 

[daniel22]

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

I was being a smart ass.
