Cooke Suspended Today

Anyone who's watch 3 minutes of Carter play on TV is painfully aware of this too. The fact that he get's brought up so much makes me sad that we have so many clueless basketball fans.
This. These people who think they know more/better than Prohm need to shut the **** up.
 
My comment was meant to say that these guys were thinking about transferring before Prohm came. They stayed, because of the changes that took place. They are not leaving because they have lost a few games or because they do no like Coach Phrom.

I think the original poster indicating that many of the players and coaches will leave is ridiculous!
Well, to our knowledge no one is leaving yet, but you are speculating as well. Fine by me, as this is a message board.

Transfers happen, and despite prioritizing "fit", particularly when coaching changes occur. Our transition happened in June, so a little carry-over to next season would not be surprising. I can think of a couple that would be staff initiated.
 
To me, when I read Hines on Twitter or hear him on the radio, he is not very positive about Iowa State. Maybe it's just my interpretation.

its not his job to be positive. But his sources have always been assistant coaches. I'm sure Matt a and TJ provide him info.
 
I wouldn't think this would guarantee minutes for Ashton; Niang, Nader and Burton can all play multiple positions. I'd expect that trio will play different spots to spell Matt and Monte.
 
Told my son if he's a clone fan (which he will be) to get ready...

as someone who has been to practices and who sees these guys practice, if Carter starts getting significant minutes, it is not good and we are most likely at that time a bubble team. I shared in a thread in October my insights and said Cooke would be a disappointment (some of you need to start reading in between the lines) and that Burton was going to be Big 12 newcomer of the year and that Carter would not be getting any minutes this year. I know your trying to look at the Bright side of things but You guys need to let the Carter thing go, he's just not ready.
Is this wrong? Almost no one of the opinion Carter needed to get some minutes, particularly in the non-conference, thought it was a good thing or that he was "ready". Besides, playing Carter was never about the play during those minutes, but about future minutes. It also isn't mostly about Carter, it is about getting better play from Georges and McKay in the vast majority of other game minutes. Anyone who went to CCL knew Cooke was not going to be an impact this year.
 
So Cooke joins is the newest member of the club that McKay, Nader and BDJ are members of.
 
If Cooke was thinking of leaving, I'm sure he is upset about lack of Pt, as well as seeing Naz now coming back, along with Thomas and probably Monte. Add in Jackson coming in who TJ is raving about, along with J Long and Babb, and he sees a very crowded back court.... He probably figured why sit out all of next year when he can stick around and see what happens, and be a 5th year transfer immediate eligible if next year does not improve for him....

thomasRickJ, still waiting for you to own up to all the BS you so adamantly thru out before the season.
 
One reason Cooke might be considering transferring is because Monte may have indicated to him that he (Monte) is returning.

Or Naz is going to come back. I'm not convinced that door is all the way closed judging from his comments.
 
I wouldn't think this would guarantee minutes for Ashton; Niang, Nader and Burton can all play multiple positions. I'd expect that trio will play different spots to spell Matt and Monte.
It pretty much does guarantee minutes for Ashton. No way we go 6 deep.
 
We'll be fine today. We are the better team and they are motivated for a win. Minor setback, for sure, but at least it's only 1 game.
 
Wow 8 pages already. Has anyone blamed pollard yet? A few weeks ago I would have been up in arms now I'm just meh. Can decide if it's because of the teams playing or cookes
