Hunter Reaffirms Commitment

[Sigmapolis]

All the threads about our weekend signees are just more bashing of former coaches and players

I'm the one defending Prohm -- at least in a limited fashion.

are we really wanting to dive into this. I feel like this is beating a dead horse over and over and over again.

Expecting posters to post about recruit Hunter in the Hunter recruit thread? Interesting concept but might require more discipline than can be mustered here.

Sometimes you gotta dig that horse up and beat it a few more times just to make sure it’s dead.

Zombie horses sure sounds like a leading national security threat to me.

It's not as much defending as it is calling out the false narratives. My favorite- "I could tell after year 2 that Prohm sucked. Shoulda been fired then."

Wigginton and THT couldn't be on the floor at the same time because there was only one ball. The real puzzling thing is Prohm starting Nick Babb at PG with Haliburton on the team. Haliburton was CLEARLY the best player on the team and he was forced to shooting guard or the bench to have Babb play out of position so THT and Wigginton could take turns trying to impress NBA scouts.

If you thought Haliburton was CLEARLY the best player on the team that featured Shayok, you were insane. That was Shayok's team. Just look at that K State game in the tournament. That was his ball late in the fourth and everyone knew it.

LOL, where are they now. There is no doubt that Haliburton was the best player on the team.

Saying someone was a better college player based off of NBA results is one of my favorite dumb CF arguments

So just to add some fuel, if Haliburton actually played PG would anyone start Wigginton over NWB? I understand the not enough balls theory but having a guy like Babb coming off the bench seems like a method to make positive adjustments where Wigginton could come in and cause more issues if he's not on.

Don't need the NBA argument for this one. All you had to do was watch.

That's how it should have worked.

Starting Wigginton means benching either...

-- two fifth-year seniors, one of which played in the NBA and won first-team all-Big 12, and the other one has had a successful overseas career and was the only experienced PG on the roster

-- the 12th overall pick and a contender for NBA ROTY as a 20-year old

-- replacing the #4 recruit in school history, one drafted and who won an NBA ring... unlike Wigginton

This "Wigginton should have started!" meme is so old. He wasn't clearly better than any of those four.

Wasn’t Wigginton a higher ranked recruit than THT?

Are recruiting rankings how you set a lineup?

I don’t know, you’re the one that said you shouldn’t bench THT because he was one of ISU’s highest recruits ever.
