Custer announcement tonight at 7pm

I have mixed feeling on Custer. We will be carrying an awful lot of what seem to be true point Guards. We know Long can play, Morris looks very solid in video, and then Jones who is proven in BCS conference. Guessing Fred thinks one of them can play wing with Thomas and SDW. I guess bottom line is if Fred wants him so do I.

Fred has targeting some guys who have turned into fantastic high school players after he's found them (i.e. Georges and Matt Thomas). So if Fred wants Custer, I want Custer and I could care less about the number of guards we have in the pipeline.

That wasn't the impression I got from what Fred told CW.


What makes you think that one of them won't be playing? It's not like Fred to keep good players off the court.

I'll do a minutes breakdown IMO for next season(starting when Jones is eligible):

out of 200 available minutes

Ejim 20 mpg at SF, 8 mpg at PF
Niang 28 mpg at PF
Jones 28 mpg at PG
Percy 23 mpg at C
Thomas 20 mpg at SG
Amardi 17 mpg at C
Naz 7 mpg at PG, 8 mpg at SG
Hogue 15 mpg at SF
Dorsey-Walker 12 mpg at SG
Okoro 5 mpg at SF
Morris 5 mpg at PG
Juco post 5 mpg at PF

obviously these aren't exact numbers but I think it will be something like this. And this is without Bubu. If bubu is eligible he will take 15 of those minutes from the guards which will increase the likelihood even more that a guard will probably transfer; especially since Custer more than likely will be added to the guard court the following season.

Instead of looking at what we have been and what we currently are as a program, think about where FH
wants to take this program. So, how many top notch guards does a NC team need? How many did Kentucky have last year? How many does Duke have? I think that is where FH sees ISU.
 
Putting 3 guys on the floor who can pass, shoot 3s and get penetration is just dumb. In fact I bet Fred Hoiberg is just plain dumb for even thinking it.

I've always loved three-guard lineups, like Williams-Brown-Head at Illinois, Foye-Ray-Lowry at Villanova, Pressey-Dixon-Denmon at Missouri (cough, Norfolk). I loved when Kansas had lineups of Miles-Boschee-Hinrich and, when Rush was hurt, Robinson-Collins-Chalmers.

There's always some defensive and rebounding struggles with these lineups, but it's just so hard to defend a team that has multiple guys who can drive, pass, and shoot. College basketball is and will continue to be a guard's game. ISU can't pass on guys like Custer.
