I mean with the kid in Wisconsin, Stinette, Brackins, Mcfarland, and Leur make 5 guys we want with only 4 possible Scholarships. What are your thoughts.. Should we have passed on AT and got a new freshman that could help build the program in the future. Not to mention he wore the black and Yellow at one point..
 
No. Obviously McD thought AT was the best use of that scholarship, so we should trust that judgment.
 
NO. He will also help in the future. Let's not forget he was a Top 150 when he came out of high school. Who gives a crap that he used to be a Squawkeye, he is a Cyclone now and that is all that matters. How about we stop riding this kid and be glad he is with us.

I will ride him until I see him in Cyclone gear. I am not glad he is with us. He is a Hawkeye. He chose them over us. He did not do anything good over there so he bailed out and came to ISU. Until he does something for the Clones he is not a Clone. No open arms from me. I always said you should never transfer to the rival school. Even when it's to us.

Thanks, Just to give you all some background on my coaching. I played basketball for weeks junior high school. Once hit a 3 pointer with 10 seconds left to put my team up by one point to win the game..



I will be the head coach of my sons t-ball team next year. (don't worry I won't take time away from my new head coaching duties of the ISU men's basketball team). I Feel I will bring great leadership to the table. So thanks to everyone for your support..

Jeremy probally has some rule about name calling. I'm about to break it.



Drew, you're an ass.

AT was not recruted by ISU, so don't blame him for becoming a Hawk. I'd rather have a guy like Alex who wants to be here and is willing to work, than a more highly ranked player like Taggart who really did nothing for ISU.

God help the poor little bugger that may have to transfer to your t-ball squad...will you ride the little whelp until he finally wears the "Sonic" sponsored uniforms? ...i did enjoy your little "Hoosiers" moment however.

is there anyone else that would like to participate in kicking Drew in his man-sack? this is the most fun since the battle of jealous web-sites!

Thank you, My wife has not called me that for a while.. Feels good..



Are you the same people who blasted Adam Haluska for tranfering to Iowa? Seems that if he transfers to Iowa he is a horrible kid, but if he transfers to ISU we need to give him a hug... Hyporcrits I think is the term I will use here...

I agree Greg. Well put. But with that being said, I'm still not conviced that AT is going to help us all that much. He does have a full year to work with GMAC before he hits the court. But the way I look at it, when he does hit the court, any positive minutes is just a bonus.

my poor little Drewberries...check your facts regarding Haluska and Alex...one was not even offered a place at ISU originally..you are a gibbering twit that has ascended to flame-worthy faster then a Ferderline. Please donate more sums of cash to bumperstickers and foam fingers...in light of your endless wisdom concerning ISU basketball.



good luck to you in t-ball however.

Actually I never did berate Haluska. But thanks for putting me in that box.



I was disapointed that he left and didn't like how he said he was staying the week before he anounced his transfer. But sometimes kids make the wrong decision. I believe that if you make a mistake. See it. Admit it. Correct it. Not just kids, but adults for that matter.



Haluska wanted to play ball with his friends Horner and Brunner. Thompson now wants to come home. How evil of both of them.

I just don't like the kid who sells out his team to go play against his old team.. I spent 6 years in the Marines and would never think of trading in my guys for other guys and don't understand how anyone can do it.. How you can hate a team for 2 years and then magically want to go play against the team you have loved for 2 years?
