    Way too early starting lineup talk for the 23-24 season

    I still think that's a no. Biliew has to be in there regardless. Put him at the 4, and figure it out from there. Unfortunately ISU isn't at the level to afford the luxury of having a McD's AA come off the bench. It seems Tre King can step away from the hoop a bit, but watching last year his...

    Way too early starting lineup talk for the 23-24 season

    Appreciate the stats as that is interesting. Wouldn't have expected that. Still at some point think it can boil down to the eye test too. Out of control way too often. Plus, a fanbase should only be subjected to so many baby hook attempts launched off the backboard. He's a solid enough back up...

    Way too early starting lineup talk for the 23-24 season

    "Perfectly fine" is certainly not the first thing that comes to my mind when watching that offense at times last year. Specifically the record setting poor performance they displayed in the NCAA tourney...One could say they were in "BIG trouble" that game. Don't want to keep dumping on him...

    Way too early starting lineup talk for the 23-24 season

    You typed up a lot here, but this part ruined it all for me ha. I'm sorry, but zero chance a guy in RJ (who is better suited on a mid-major team) starts over a McD's AA. Omaha's physicality and versatility is exactly what TJ covets in a player. His play will likely be the biggest determining...

    Way too early starting lineup talk for the 23-24 season

    To say those records were because of him, is going a little far. There was a lack of options, and he was the body that was in there at times. Sure he plays hard on the defensive end, but our offense severely struggled when he was on the floor - specifically against better competition. With the...

    If Rob Jones is playing 20 MPG we are in BIG trouble. Ideally more in the 10 range.

    Curtis Jones Commits to Iowa State

    TJ will likely flip priorities next year in the portal from guards to posts. Rock will be the one complimenting those forwards listed. He will almost certainly not be Big 12 ready as a true freshmen. Will likely need a good transfer post addition to ease him in.

    Jackson Paveletzke commits

    That wasn't a permanent thought from anyone. Everyone in the country knew we needed shooters/scorers after last season. It was just a matter of the staff going out, and finding them this offseason to fill that need. TJ continues to bring in talent.

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2023

    Meh agree to disagree. Don't doubt he's a good prospect, but this team needs guys who can put the ball in the basket NOW. He would've been a nice piece next year, but he's not going to go from the MWC to Big 12 and start scoring drastically more...

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2023

    Would be very happy with those 3 additions. Gilbert - CG who seems to be a confident ball handler. Can create, and an effective shooter. Pav - badly needed pure shooter. Seems to be able to create a bit as well. Jones - statistically a Gabe replacement as a shooter (Jones 75-209 from 3, Gabe...

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2023

    Nice. Was hoping for that exact situation. Just didn't see Williams as the addition this team needed right now. Pav would be great.

    ***Official 2023 Transfer Thread***

    Could be, and hopefully I'm wrong. Having an IZB on the roster would do wonders for the offense. Also suppose we have to face the reality that we just can't afford some of the top playmakers/shooters. Denver Jones would've been ideal for that scoring role. Excited for Hamilton though. Has...

    ***Official 2023 Transfer Thread***

    Believe me I want guys to come in and be great, but I'm just going to temper my expectations on these two if they commit. 36% from 3 on 35 makes isn't exactly setting the world on fire. They look like they can drive, distribute, and defend, but that doesn't really change the roster makeup we've...

    ***Official 2023 Transfer Thread***

    I did watch his highlights, and looked at his advanced analytics. Like I said - he'd be a good piece, but don't think he'd be some major upgrade over what we had out there this past season. Always good to have someone that can penetrate/create (i.e. Holmes), but we need floor spacers in the...

    Damn - Paveletzke is the only one I truly want out of those 3 ha
