    AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

    Sucks for sure, but I think one thing that one can never know with stuff like this is just how done with college/ready to only focus on basketball some guys can be. I was ready to be done with the going to class part of college halfway through my junior year. Can’t imagine transferring and going...

    AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

    Some people here vastly underrate Kunc and how valuable of a defender and floor spacer he is. Maybe TJ will like him in a 6th man role, but I'd be shocked if he doesn't play the most minutes at the 4 next to Osun.

    2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class

    I mean, if we get AJ, we would have an 8 man class (9 if you count Tre King). Severe roster fluctuation year-to-year is what college hoops is now.

    2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class

    Pretty sure Andrew Slater is floating the same on Osun based on this. He's rarely been wrong in reporting transfer whispers/news.

    2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class

    Conspiracy theory time. Any chance TJ and staff are slow-playing filling that final scholarship spot in the hopes that Biliew commits and reclassifies to 2022?

    2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class

    Not saying you're doing this, but I think people tend to think of offense too frequently as "needs to be able to do something with the ball in their hand". Sometimes, it's a plus to just have an efficient offensive player who doesn't need to possess the ball that often. Look at how consistently...

    2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class

    This entire post is based on if AJ Green commits to ISU. If he doesn't, obviously that drastically changes the outlook for next season. Just wanted to acknowledge that up front. Primary Ballhandlers: Green / Williams Guards: Holmes / Kalscheur / Grill (one of Green/Williams when both are on...

    2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class

    He could commit and still explore the NBA process. That’s what the Texas Tech big man transfer Aimaq said he was going to do to still get the feedback after announcing his decision today.

    Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

    I will never understand how anyone could conceive it's "selfish" for him to want to get paid for his services/skillset. College basketball is a business; it always has been except now it's legal. This is a complete hypothetical as we don't know the exact NIL opportunities at ISU/Kansas for...

    Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

    There's been a fair number of bad threads on this site but not sure there's ever been one where ISU fans have come off more embarrassing and petulant than this one. He's a 19-year old kid who we all know had a very heartbreaking upbringing who is now attempting to profit off of his own skills...

    AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

    The way people tell on themselves sometimes as far as "I don't know anything about basketball" is wild.

    AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

    My own personal opinion and I could be way off-base, but I've always felt Bain is almost guessing a lot of the time with his recruiting reporting. He seems late on everything.

    AJ Green Leaves the Portal - Staying in Draft

    If we get Green and Vander Plas, it would definitely take the sting off of surprisingly losing Hunter. This is only 11 scholarship players too; there would still be 1-2 more spots to fill, whether that's Gabe returning for a 5th year or adding Basile, Abogidi from Wazzu, Souley Boum from UTEP...

    Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

    Look, it absolutely sucks if Hunter leaves, but the amount of “woe is me” in this thread for when one of our guys surprisingly transfers out when this forum has an entire transfer thread of people wanting to poach the top guys from mid-major schools is as ironic as irony can get. You can’t use...

    Enaruna makes it official, hits the portal

    A bit disingenuous. He only started the Miami game because of a clerical error. And this wasn't publicly revealed, but I think he only started vs. LSU to match up Kunc with Eason (LSU's best player who happened to come off the bench) and to mess with a coaching staff that was already in...

    REPORT: Iowa State in contact with Morehead State transfer, No. 7 nationally in assists

    I think most fans are overestimating the impact Lipsey, Eli King, and Watson will have. Only 3 true freshmen in the Big 12 got consistent playing time last season (Hunter, Kendall Brown, Sochan). Those last two guys are NBA 1st rounders if they both declare. The league has become a...

    REPORT: Iowa State in contact with Oregon transfer Eric Williams

    There’s rarely any point in ever looking at FG% as a statistic anymore. It’s archaic when it comes to properly accounting for increase in 3-pointers taken in current game, especially among perimeter players. Look at eFG% which correctly takes into account value of the 3. Williams jumps to 45%...

    Who's headed to the United Center?

    Anyone already going and have booked hotels but not bought tickets yet? Our plan was to keep waiting to see if the prices to drop, but they're still pretty steady. Thinking about biting the bullet and buying some tomorrow afternoon. Leaving Friday morning without tickets could be stressful.

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    Feel pretty confident we will be the 7 or 10 in this bottom-right Midwest region. I'd guess 10? Kansas will be the 1, Kentucky or Auburn will be the 2. 3 will be Purdue. UCLA the 4, Iowa the 5. Calling my shot.

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    No TCU or Iowa State in Gonzaga's pod means either Baylor isn't a 1 or TCU/ISU are either a 7 or 10. Both can't be 8/9 if Baylor and Kansas are 1's now.
