Good? Who is he? Is this a good thing? Is he transferring to ISU?
Thanks in advance.
My minimal knowledge:
He's good.
I think we wanted him.
He's injured.

He's injured.
I think we were recruiting him before. Would be a great replacement for Osunniyi
Here's an article on him from April before he transferred to Tech. Kinda weird to transfer out so soon since he just went to Tech this season.
Pretty sure he got a very nice NIL offer to go to TTU so I wonder how all that's going to go down. Also the rumor that was reported on by a CBB analyst was that Adams was rushing Fardaws back from a foot injury when Fardaws believed he was not ready.
If I remember correctly, the hawks were sure they were going to get him before he went to Tech
I'm guessing this will get brought up every time someone transfers now - but this may be relevant:

Something is definitely up with the Tacos. Lots of rumors on Reddit that Adams has lost the team, the boosters, and most in the AD. Not sure what happened, but he's rubbing everyone the wrong way.
There is a story out their that he hasn't been paid his NIL money.
Just like football. Beware the old guy who hasn't been given or taken head coach opportunities. There's a reason.
Well, if NIL money is his main motivation. He probably won't end up here.
Side note. I find none of those accusations regarding NIL surprising. is will contiune to be a poop show for the next several years.
I'm guessing Fran's tweet and this transfer news coming at near the same time is not a coincidence.
My guess is it went down something like this. Player is injured and is being cautious in coming back. Adams, perhaps at the request of the booster(s) who put up the NIL money, kindly reminded him that he's being paid alot of money to play basketball games. Player doesn't like that, realizes they'd have no recourse to recover their money and says screw it I'm out.
This is why I've always thought the NIL market would regulate itself over time. While big time boosters aren't afraid to throw around money, they also, I'm sure, don't like getting nothing for their investment. Stories like this, or DJ Uiagalelia, will have to start tempering the amounts getting throw around, you'd think.

Wow, what a shocker. You mean 20 year olds won't get jealous after they've worked their arse off for 3 years at a school and some other player comes in from some scrub conference with $250,000 bucks in his pocket?
It seems to be regulating faster than I would predicted.
Somehow pro sports make it work without jealousy becoming a huge locker room issue (maybe I'm wrong about that and just don't hear the stories?) College aged kids aren't as mature though, so not surprising it would be a bigger issue there.
In the pros they are all getting paid. That’s the difference. Hell even league minimum is nothing to sneeze at for playing a game for a living.
