Caleb Grill has entered the portal and committed to Mizzou
- Thread starter LLCoolCY
- Start date
Again, we had fans boo JCL but cheered for Enaruna (and wondered why TJ would pull him out of games), when they basically swapped teams.
Grill needs to hurry up and commit so this thread dies. It's getting off the rails quickly.
I think most people were cheering on Custer, poor guy was behind Monte and only a year younger.
Yeah, I don't care that he transferred, but to think ISU fans "forget about a player" is probably optimistic.
All situations different, JCL wasn't treated too badly on his return (nothing in comparison to Hunter) and can't blame a guy who lost his coach and went 0-18 with one year left.
I'm sure years ago I was pissed when Wes Johnson transferred. The older I get the more I just try not to hold a grudge about it.
The portal has brought us back from the dead multiple times.
Most, if not all, Iowa State fans were happy for Clayton Custer. Totally understandable that he didn't want to sit behind one of the best point guards in college basketball for two more years. I also don't think he would of ever been as successful had he not transferred down a level. He was 3rd team All-MVC as a senior. It wasn't like he was AJ Green.
That was pretty half-hearted or even playful compared to the seething fury over Hunter.
I think you're being kind of literal about "forgotten" when it is meant as slight hyperbole.
Hunter playing for Tennessee is not forgotten in the sense we literally don't remember his name and the big game he had against Wisconsin in the NCAA tournament. He'd be "forgotten" in the sense he's playing for another team in another conference and we're not likely to see him on the court against the Cyclones and and we don't care what happens in the SEC so all jolly well and good we should move on.
Again, it's the burnt orange that's pissing us off. Or I know it does me.
I don't know if I can help you if you don't see the categorical difference between some good-natured ribbing of a former player over a silly, short-lived, and half-hearted "traitor" chant over a rotational player who left for understandable, basketball-related reasons and, again, the volcanic atmosphere and violent game (and go watch it again, it was rough) on the court that took place when Hunter returned to Hilton.
I see a difference. I'm saying for ISU there's irony in booing JCL and cheering Enaruna.
Can you understand that?
I don't think it is "ironic." That's what fan bases do.
I'm not offended by KU booing Enaruna or by ISU booing JCL.
I still think it's odd so many people post what Tyrese "said" yet just don't put a direct quote on here. Or that someone thinks there's posters on here that "love him."
I get disliking him for choosing TX (and your opinion), but that given reason has been much less stated than the "what he said" IMO.
Who brought up "offended?" I just said I think it's ironic. That's my opinion.
That's got to be one of the bigger turnarounds for a player to go from that bad to national title winner.
Uh, Enaruna was on our team, and JCL was playing for our rivals?
