Omaha Biliew is a McDonald's All-American

Only reason Bronny is on the team is his dad.

Tj has definitely increased the talent level but you have to also remember they are true freshman. We have been used to 4th and 5th year guys in the program so far who have a ton of experience but maybe weren't as highly rated.

The key will be to still get experienced transfers while keeping the core guys here for 3-4 years.

All you have to do is look at some of the Freshman around the country that were in the game last year. KU has a couple of them that barely play.
Lively on Duke doesn’t look ver good etc.

@isufbcurt why is this dumb?

 

[Halincandenza]

Apparently lots of people like Lebron James’s son.

@isufbcurt why is this dumb?

Because it's a dumb take, simple as that.

Insightful! He isn’t a prospect that typically makes the game. Granted there are sometimes one or two outside of the top but you are kidding yourself if you think his name didn’t play a huge role in him getting it over more highly rated guys.

Man I’ve been waiting a long time to see ISU get a McDonald’s all American. This is freaking awesome lol

 

[NorthCyd]

Knew he was going to be a bust. WTF, only McDonalds All American? TJ needs to be fired if he isn’t going after Culver’s All Americans by year two.

Need to land some butter burger boys!

I take it you were not around when Marcus Fizer played here?

Conner Williams must have been a Culver's All Butterburger player

I was but I was in elementary school. Didn’t really start following recruiting until the Wayne Morgan years.

He's got a higher rating than the Okie St and a Kentucky guy

 

[RustShack]

He's got a higher rating than the Okie St and a Kentucky guy

Because of his name/dad. He’s a good player and obviously comes from good genes, but he gets more hype than he should.

As ISU fans we should know ratings don’t always pan out. You are kidding yourself if you don’t think kids like Arch Manning and Bronny would be rated MUCH lower if their parents weren’t who they are. Bronny is a very good HS player, but nothing I have seen screams can’t miss prospect.

@isufbcurt why is this dumb?

His ranking always was gonna be influenced by his dad, but he has made pretty big strides as a player. He wouldn't usually be a McD's AA kind of player, or at least a guaranteed one, but he's definitely a lot closer to his ranking now than he was a year ago if that makes sense.

 

[cyfanatic13]

If anyone wants to watch our McD’s AA in action, he’ll be on here around 7:45 tonight against #7 Centennial. It was a close one last time

 

[CycloneErik]

Just for the sake of things, it's fun to see the level TJ is recruiting at.

 

[Fishhead]

Is this the Cyclones first McDonalds All American in regards to recruited out of high school with a current sitting coach? My point being when Floyd took the job here, didn’t he already have Fizers commitment ?

 

[cdface]

I’m pretty worried about the Xs and Os from TJ though. The inbounds pass plays don’t work 100% of the time which is very concerning.

he's improving, but CFH was and still is the GOAT BLOB master.

 

[cyclone1209]

This seems good.

TJ has over-delivered on his coaching and his recruiting.
