Clayton Custer Transfering

Diallo, a transfer big that has to sit out and a transfer PG that has to sit out would be pretty fantastic this offseason

Why transfer PG when people think Cooke will play PG? Diallo + big + best available for me.
 
With MM having 1 or 2 more years, it was going to be tough for him to get much PT. Loved his stroke, thought he could have been a solid player. The WSU comments make a lot of sense.
 
Re: Custer Transferring

Is the "shocker" reference yours or from Goodman? Could be a hint.

The curse of recruiting the best players is that they actually want to play. Best of luck to him. Always seemed to be a team player here. Even though he wasn't getting into the games, I noticed he would often be the first one out to greet players after an opponent called a momentum-breaking timeout.

I made the reference not even thinking about the Wichita State idea.
 
confused by so many people are saying or inferring monte will do something dumb... am i missing something? or just by saying that is stating how important monte is, even more so, now.

Declaring early for the draft, most likely. He's finishing his sophomore year, has two years left...which is probably why Clayton is transferring.

I'm sorry Clayton is leaving - I hope he finds someplace that fits what he's looking for (playing time, most likely). I wish him the best.

Iowa State freshman Clayton Custer has decided to transfer from the men’s basketball program, head coach Fred Hoiberg announced Tuesday.


“I appreciate the work and effort Clayton gave to our program this season,” Hoiberg said. “He has been a great teammate. I’ve enjoyed coaching Clayton and wish him the best in the future. I will do anything I can to assist him as he looks for a new school.”


Custer, a 6-0 guard from Overland Park, Kansas, saw action in 12 games in 2014-15. He averaged 1.1 points in 5.8 minutes while coming off the bench for the Cyclones.


“I truly enjoyed my time at Iowa State,” Custer said. “I was able to build relationships with people I’ll be close to the rest of my life and I will always cherish the moments I had here. Thank you to the Iowa State coaches, my teammates and Cyclone nation for the special opportunity.”
 
Fred most likely told him he wouldn't play much next season. I don't blame Custer at all.

If Morris leaves after next year that gives us two PG's, plus Cooke is kind of a combo guard but yea I'd be with you on the big + best available thing
 
What really surprises me about this is that CC was committed to ISU for almost two years before starting his Freshman year. He always seemed to love FH and ISU in general. Thought he would stick it out till MM graduated. Would have been a really good floor general.
 
I like Clayton a lot but it seemed pretty clear that his lack of size and strength would make it difficult for him to be a significant contributor next year. The parting of ways is a good move for him and our program.

I'm expecting Fred's staff will find a JC transfer who is more physically ready to give some back up minutes to Monte next year.

It's pretty cool that our program has reached the level where we're worrying about the quality of our 2nd and 3rd stringers (kind of like Nebraska football in the 80's).

Got to keep Monte healthy!!
I wouldn't expect to see a juco point guard that is good enough to play come here when they know they are getting 10 minutes a game at most.

That's a good kid there. I'll be a huge fan wherever he goes.

Not unlike this year. Except next we'll hopefully have Cooke as well.

I don't like seeing kids transfer - but I don't think there's anything to get too upset with on this. We realistically had no backup THIS season with Cooke sitting out. If Clayton couldn't sneak in a few minutes with Monte playing SO much, that's probably a pretty clear sign of his abilities or development.
 
Man this is disappointing...

Watched him in high school and was really looking forward to watching him develop and play at ISU...kid is a scorer...

That's my first choice as well. Either way I'd be surprised if the next PG we get isn't a transfer.
 
He looked solid when he played. Wasn't there a Big 12 game when he got some extensive second-half minutes?

I had a feeling transfer was a possibility when he wasn't seeing much court time in relevant situations, like he wasn't being groomed as a successor to Monte.
