Best Cyclone "Glue Guys"

This thread prompted me to watch an old game from the 99-00 team vs. Okie State in Ames.

I have a really rose-colored memory of that team but actually it's pretty accurate. This was a game between two really good teams. ISU just had a lot of guys that could do a lot of things and seemed to enjoy picking away at teams defensively.

I miss ESPN+. Even the CR-area affiliates carried it.
 
Rashon Clark seems to be somewhat forgotten in the glue guy history. Not the worlds best at any specific category but a guy you WANT on your team.
A really good shooter, who was a good teammate, and seemed to always be smiling.
Wayne was let go after his Sophomore season, and in the era that was the beginning for transfers, I'm really glad he stuck it out here.

They had the ability to at a given point to just inform their opponents they were no long allowed to score.

Naz begins and ends this list in terms of keeping peace amongst the personalities/egos on a team with some really rough corners. I hope when Georges comes back to coach he brings Naz with him.

Johnnys first teams before he got it going would be Terrence Allen and lefty Moore.

When they were good it was Ron Virgil and David Moss. Then you had mike born and Brian Pearson at the end of that period

The next gen would have been Doug Collins, he just played on overmatched teams when Mack and Baugh were gone.

With Fred’s class, Howard Eaton and skip mccoy and I cannot remember his last name brad something and Morgan wheat.

Under Floyd it would have been Bankhead and Holloway.

Larry had nurse and Horton and Johnson and Shirley and rancik.

Wayne had staple and tasheed Carr played some big moments too.

McDermott had nothing but glue guys other than the 5 star players. Remember Brian Peterson and Sean haluska taking minutes from recruited players to win 15 games rather than 11? Then hearing chewey say it was ok we were bad because he was building a program. I still remember the box they taped on the baseline past the 3 pt line for staiger. Sigh.

That’s what I got. The majority of the folks seem to go back to Royce white.

Quitters could never be considered glue guys.
 
In the early Johnny Orr years I thought Ronnie Harris and Gary Thompkins were the ultimate glue guys. They basically filled the gaps and if needed to step up because a stud was having a down game or injury - they upped their games.

I would also throw out Sam Hill and Ronnie Virgil as under rated guys who could step-up their game when needed. Not afraid to take the big shot.
