    Level the playing field in HS athletics

    Taking s/e factors into play a poor district like Marshalltown plays down a level for soccer so they can be competitive... oh wait they already are more than competitive in soccer. The current model is not perfect, but this line of thinking is flawed. The entire idea's premise is removing...

    RECRUITING: Horton-Tucker gelling with ISU commits; "probably" visiting Illinois next weekend

    ISU has used the play now opportunity a few years, and we have come up short on priority recruits. Unless they have a short timeline (one and done), recruits at that level want to go where their pro-stock will grow if its year 2,3, or 4. Of course this mindset negates the idea of a kid going...

    So Now Who is Your Starting 5?

    Monte, Merrill, and Thomas. Then its open competition. Using Matt as a swing man of sorts it could be a 4 guard line up or a more traditional starting five. Deonte rounds out his game or a young forward steps up big. As for Naz, I don't know if he will start but if he returns to form he will...

    If hoiberg called Pollard and wanted to come back..

    This thread reminds me of the fans who feel that every former player who expresses a coaching interest needs hired, and to not do so is crazy.

    COLUMN: Latest thoughts on Jackson, Malou, Burton, etc.

    I've heard through an unconfirmed source that the team has a Gatorade drinking game going on. Every time their name is mentioned on CF for transferring or going to the NBA they have to chug one and then run sprints. Also heard they are working on a bingo game to go with it so the new guys can...

    Bubu Suing ISU

    The university, athletic department, or basketball program may have a conduct policy that is different than simply lawful or unlawful activity. That policy may indeed make ISU more susceptible to litigation than just a generic legal illegal argument. In practical terms, Bubu may be innocent in...

    South Dakota State Job

    I don't know which current or future recruits he has been lead on, but SDSU would be a little harder to recruit to or take current recruits with you from an ISU perspective.

    The Games That Upset You

    Twelve losses and all but the final one, we had an opportunity to win in the closing minutes. Yes, the two losses at home had me miserable leaving Hilton like everyone else. I was pleased this year that we were never blown out by an inferior team, and we did not have any game long mental...

    Steve Prohm Report Card thus far

    Once that initial run was stopped. It was a checkmate game. We could not get closer than 9, but the game also did not run away. There were some in game adjustments that worked or it would have been a 30 point blowout. It was a 9/10 point game until the late game press.

    Steve Prohm Report Card thus far

    I believe you have to look farther than just W/L in terms of this year's performance. VA was the only loss that was a blowout. Previous years there was at least one if not more blowouts. I think the stat guys have all losses down to a single possession with 2 minutes or less. So is there an...

    Didn't know Fred was still the coach

    Isn't MT, Fred's highest ranked recruit? I loved Niang and Morris, but doesn't Prohm already have similar caliber recruits from HS, JUCO, and now a grad transfer? Will they be homeruns, will the staff be able to develop them? Lets wait and see. We will be fine. My bet is we will sustain a...

    Jameel McKay: From "miserable" to "happy"

    McKay is at his best playing in rotation when he goes hard with all of his energy and then gets some rest to go again. Great players want minutes, they want to start I get that, but McKay looks to be at his best with his high energy runs. Last night reminded me of last year. Early in the year...

    McKay not traveling to OSU

    All this talk about his touches on offense. He has 193 fga in 22 games this year. 12.4 ppg and 36 to. Last year in 25 games he had 168 fga 11 ppg and 30 to. He has plenty of offensive opportunities. A lot of those opportunities in the post end with the ball on the floor, getting kicked, or...

    Assuming TJ is hired.

    Your right. Outside the state of Iowa, and especially outside the fan base Hoibeg was just another past player. The basketball "world" wasn't impressed and neither was a lot of Cyclone Nation, hiring Hoiberg (see CW's earlier posts about the hire 5 years ago for those details).

    Assuming TJ is hired.

    Call Bobby Lutz. He did it once. Fred was a role player in the NBA, a good one, but just that. Then he worked in the front office of a lower level NBA team. Seems to be not much of a reach to go to work for a new head coach, who is a seasoned assistant with solid P5 college experience and...
