    Prohm Defenders

    Sorry for super late reply, catching up on this thread. I can't deny Steve has had some major downs and bad losses, but thats inevitable. People act like Fred had a perfect tenure that Prohm screwed up completely like Fred didn't lose to an awful Texas Tech team and then UAB in the tourney with...

    Prohm Defenders

    I stand somewhat similarly to CyCal, there are obviously negatives, but I think there are definite positives as well. We are in a tough spot roster wise due to turnover and that can be hard to stabilize, but I think Prohm can do it (I think this current freshman class has a lot to be excited...

    Q&A: Coleman-Lands goes in-depth on his commitment to Iowa State

    The fact that he focused on leadership and work ethic when talking about his fit is exciting. Love him from a talent standpoint but if he can also bring some additional leadership and maturity that would be great and it seems like that will be a big focus for him. Could be mostly talk but I'm...

    ***Official 2019-2020 Transfer Thread***

    As far as JCL, I'm excited about him, but I'm from IL and have followed his a little because of it, always felt like he has had more talent than production, maybe right system can get the most out of him (I have zero faith in DePaul to put him in the best spots....) He shot really well on high...

    ***Official 2019-2020 Transfer Thread***

    I think we also need a PG I agree, but maybe there is a plan there beyond forcing Bolton to play it. Regardless there are still solid options I think Jalen Coleman-Lands would be a fantastic get. His stats are very up and down but every time I've seen him play I just feel like he's a baller and...

    ***Official 2019-2020 Transfer Thread***

    Not trying to be snarky or anything, but what do people like about Perez? He does not excite me at all. He's got good assist numbers and size but that's it. He was a high usage guy with a 94 Offensive rating that shot 34% and 25% from 3pt. Oh and his Gardner Webb team went 16-16 and actually...

    ISU Medical School

    While I think it would make sense from a sciences background standpoint I don't think it ultimately makes that much sense with the makeup of ISU. Which I think it partially intentional (separation of specalities with Iowa having a truly great medical school), but as someone who majored in...

    4-23-20 Big Board Update: Adding two names for Iowa State

    Going back to the "warm bodies" thing and panicking. I agree with some in the fact that using a scholarship on a guy you don't believe in is an absolute waste, at that point might as well give all the freshman big minutes and see what they got and see if you can force them to adapt to the...

    ***Official 2019-2020 Transfer Thread***

    Ya I think Buggs would be a really good addition just in the sense that we need a true PG. Even if he's not a scorer he unlocks Bolton to play off ball where I think he's much better suited. Bolton is a great driver but appeared to be much more effective driving off the pass and attacking a...

    ***Official 2019-2020 Transfer Thread***

    I feel like I would be pretty excited to take a shot at this kid even if we weren't in the dire situation we are in. He has size and shooting two things you can never have too much of.

    DeJulius Thread: What I'm hearing

    Ya I think its fairly well known THT wanted to go to Illinois. Monte was also ready to commit to Michigan and they got a commit from Derrick Walton first so he came to ISU (I think this was also well known, but he also did a podcast/video with Niang recently and said he literally was trying to...

    RECRUITING: What I'm hearing ... 4-11-20 PM update

    I agree that there isn't one who we KNOW will be an impact guy. But also want to point out that Niang and Morris were not that either. Both were consistently ranked in the 80s as prospects, and for Niang that included a late rise. Foster has been in the 60s mostly and Blackwell there's a bigger...

    ***Official 2019-2020 Transfer Thread***

    I certainly agree, don't think he was ever their lead guy or even really close to it, but he played significant minutes at the point for some good teams. I think he would be a good get just to have at least an experienced point guard, which I think we need mainly so that Bolton could play off...

    ***Official 2019-2020 Transfer Thread***

    I'm always overly optimistic so I'm sure I'm relatively out on a limb here, but I'm definitely encouraged by what I've seen early in the transfer market. I also like the fact that ISU seems to be really focused on going all in on guys or not at all, I haven't seen them on many of the lists of...

    This is why Prohm must go........

    Just for a little perspective and comparision, I don't think the Big12 / bottom of the Big12 is "historically bad". It's just we are use to the Big12 being easily the best conference in basketball. This year is down, but the Big12 is still the #2 rated conference on KenPom. Problem is we are...

    This is why Prohm must go........

    For people talking about highs and lows: Not sure how much everyone agrees with Kenpom as metric to evaluate teams or not, but I think its pretty good/best objective measure we have imo. As far as highs go: Prohm has 3 top20 Kenpom teams in his tenure. Fred had 2. Eustachy had 2. that's it far...

    This is why Prohm must go........

    Ya and I agree with that too. I guess I mainly get frustrated (probably overly so) in the fact that we understand he's going to be around still and so what good does calling for his job now do? Just wish people would show more support in that regard. Doesn't mean you can't criticize or be...

    This is why Prohm must go........

    And I get that obviously we need to win and this year is frustrating, absolutely. My issue is I'm not so sure everyone does want him to succeed it feels like hes constantly being criticized no matter and can't win with a portion (probably small, but gets magnified with comments) of this fan...

    This is why Prohm must go........

    Here's my biggest issue with all the fire Prohm talk: It just feels like everyone has their tweet or post about firing prohm queued up ready to hit send before the games even start ready to rip him if/when we lose. Hes certainly not above criticism and there is definitely plenty fair...

    INSTANT REACTION: No. 1 Baylor 67, Iowa State 53

    These accusations keep coming off of a nothing basis. There are different coaching styles and many different that have been proven to work, Brad Stevens doesn't say much but hes considered one of the best in world. Saying that he doesn't acknowledge work they put in is just simply wrong there...
