I hear you, but I have to push back a bit a little bit on the comparison.
1) Thomas and Grill both had sufficient length and build out of HS to not be complete liabilities in that department even in the worst scenarios.
2) Caleb Grill was a multi-sport star at Maize, KS. In particular he was a duel threat QB and was a state champion high jumper at 6'10.
3) Thomas was admittedly a less explosive athlete, and he did have a learning curve coming from a program that played zone. However, he had a ready-made physique right out of Onalaska day one and his workout routine, nutrition, and preparation was legendary among his teammates and coaches. Maybe not the best vertical, which is hard to train, but he's right up there with the best in program history in taking his body which helps immensely with just about everything else on the defensive end.
Then you look at Iowa, none of their main rotation guys with a similar role check those positive boxes, and I would argue with bigger respective question marks athletically coming into college ball.

It is amazing how much obsession some ISU fans have with the Hawkeyes. How many McDonald’s All-Americans have they had? This makes two for us.*

Not sure if the rating for a MAA has changed but pretty sure any for Iowa were with Lute Olson or Tom Davis and the overall results still weren't crazy for having that many go through.
No matter how much, if any, $$ Omaha made with his commitment to ISU, he's going to be fine. He will be more than fine. He is going to make a lot of money in the NBA, hopefully.
He has a chance to be a very special player, to ISU and to the NBA. He also has a chance to really win our hearts (in this NIL era). I hope he stays humble. The God-given talent is there.
Well stated Cylones! I love you! I love you all!!!
Thanks Omaha!
You damn clairvoyant. Fastest reaction time by CW & Blum ever. Uploaded and shared a 25-minute Omaha podcast about the same minute you posted.
Honestly, I like the thought of this guy between Biliew and Momcilovic.
Why not?

Tyrese went to Texas, and it’s a question how much further he’ll develop there. He chose the short term payoff over the long term investment.
That may backfire on him. Not least, since the Longhorns have a mega recruit freshman PG.
Wonder if he might transfer back next year, having his money in his pocket.
He won’t want to be in the Big 12 after visiting Hilton next year
Hunter is looking out for #1...clearly. People are sleeping on Tamin Lipsey and forget he was a 5 star recruit before injuring his knee. He is the future of our program at PG.
