    Concern for next year

    While I am loving the idea of stockpiling the likes of Darien Williams and possibly Anderson/Hollowell for two years down the road, I'm wondering about our available bodies for next year. We have 11 scholarship players set for 14-15. One is McKay, out until semester. That makes 10. Nader...

    Who starts at the 2 next year?

    Assuming Diante starts at the point and Gilstrap on one of the wings, who else do you think? More times than not this past year, we had to call on Sean Haluska to come in because we couldn't defend. Who, among this group, can defend? Christopherson, Boozer, Eik, Lucca, Colvin, D-Buck...

    Our system vs. our players

    McDermott uses a slow down system that is better suited to walking the ball up the floor and really pulling back on the reigns to match our type of personnel. It is the Missouri Valley stereotype that will hopefully leave at some point. We don't have the athletes to run up and down the court -...

    Post Wes - another concern I have...

    I know the focus of our next recruiting efforts will be aimed at shoring up this area of concern, but we are really going to lack athleticism next year. WJ was really our only player capable of simply rising up over someone and knocking down a shot OR driving to the hoop to flush it. With the...

    Recruiting: Must Get One Contributor

    Here's my theory. Recruiting in the Spring usually doesn't normally produce many impact players, but we have 3 schollies to use and will likely use at least 2 of them. While it would have been nice to hit the daily double with the Tyler, Texas boys, we can still salvage things with one...

    Van Coleman on State of the Nation show

    Was interesting to hear what Van Coleman (Iowa's Mel Kiper of college hoop recruiting) had to say about ISU's '08 recruits in an interview with Steve Deace. Clinton Mann - was most impressed with him than any of the recruits. Said he is a double double waiting to happen. Is 6-7 225 and plays...

    Reese vs Butler

    Which of these two rumored targets appear to be a better prize and a better fit for our team? Brad Reese of Gulf Coast CC is 6-6 200lb, Jimmy Butler of Tyler, Texas JUCO is 6-6 215. The better and more versatile offensive player might look better on the surface, but a defensive/high-energy...

    Coach McD on radio

    A friend of mine in the KC area heard McDermott on a radio interview asked whether he felt X's and O's were more important than recruiting in the Big 12 compared to the Valley. McD's immediate answer was recruiting, and that he actually underestimated just how important that was when he first...

    Future Cyclones in Postseason

    Can anyone help with giving some updates on how Buckley, Mann, and Hamilton are doing in postseason play? We've heard about Eikmeier, and hope to hear more good news too. Just wondering how the others are doing as each state approaches their version of the big dance. Of the 4 guys, how many...

    All Big 12 dream team

    My apologies if this has been done previously, but I am fairly new to the board and dreamed this up: Choose your All Big 12 dream team in which you have to select one and only one player from each conference team. Select the team as if they are going to play in a series of all-star games...

    Who besides Appleton?

    I read on someone's post earlier today that on his call-in show, McDermott indicated he was recruiting two JUCO guards for next year. I assume Appleton is one, but who do you guess is the other? Also, anyone know where Pomlee (Davenport big man) is headed next year? Are looking we looking...

    Our guard play

    I watched some of the Rider vs Siena game today and saw no fewer than 6 or 7 guards between the two teams that could have started for us. How far have we fallen when we, a team playing in one of the 2 or 3 best conferences in the nation, have to rely on Haluska, Lee, and Peterson (walk-ons)...

    Non-Wes updates on recruits?

    I certainly appreciate all the updates on Wes Eikmeier' success this season - keep them coming! Can anyone provide some similar articles/updates on our other future players? I do recall one update on a game played by Clinton Mann. Have heard nothing about Dominique Buckley or Hamilton out in...

    3-guard look next year?

    I know some have suggested this for next season and I have given it some thought. The idea of a 3-guard set with Buckley, Eikmeier and Staiger surrounding the 3-pt line is interesting. It would be asking a lot of Wesley and Brackins to hold things down inside, but it resembles what Duke is...

    Life after Hubalek looks weak inside

    I have now had the chance to see Justin Hamilton play. He is not even close to being ready to contribute at this level until maybe his junior year. Alex Thompson is a big body, but very limited post skills and still plays way too fast. Clinton Mann and Cory Johnson are not centers. We really...

    Looking at next year...

    PG: Buckley, Garrett, and Peteson. If Buckley is good enough to start, this position will be greatly improved. Good bet Garrett will be better too. I don't see a need to do anything more here, JUCO-wise. SG: Staiger, Eikmeier, Haluska, Boozer. Good depth and improved perimeter shooting...

    Need help following hoop recruits

    I know some high school websites are better than others at doing this, but some post game by game results and teams stats of their players. My Google skills are not yielding much for results, so I'm hoping someone can help. Can you locate any link that would enable us to track the high school...
