He didn't get here soon enough to get a good first class. Another problem was there was no playing time available Niangs senior year so no one would bite. So 1st year was tough. Next year isnt here yet. And Lard? Cross ur fingers. Give Prohm a chance.
Prohmy has been money with the high school recruits... He has not been money on the transfer market
If I were to have been a basketball recruit the summary would have been the exact opposite on every one of those points.
Not a top 100 recruit. Nothing to beat your chest about
Prohm got here in June and you're counting that as his first class?Ridiculous.
Ugh, those were depressing. As was the other post about "poor mans Edozie without hustle. Surely we can get something out of this guy better than that...well, can't we?.....Pretty please???
Lewis was just outside of the top 100 and is basically a top 100 guy. I get it that you and some other fans hate Prohm but don't act like he can't recruit. He's only in his second season at ISU so you can't act like he's had three full seasons to recruit because that's not a fair assessment of him.
Prohm was recruiting players at his last job wasn't he? Same goes for his assistants I presume?
Murray St. level players, not Iowa St. level players.
Still skeptical of Prohm and staff while we currently have our one our best recruiting classes in program history coming in? Makes sense.
That's pretty stupid take. I can only imagine the outrage by nickcyv and those like him if he bought Murray state talent here.
So the issue is hiring a low-level head coach in the first place?
Not sure about "is", if you look at the current class, it's more of a "was". Prohm has a Sweet 16 and a top 20 class after coaching 1 season.
I wasn't in the hire Prohm camp, but the issue was employing the Bulls coach until June. Then Otz not going after UW recruits/transfers. No one in their right mind thinks Prohm has had three classes. 2017 is his first real class. It's not complete, but if every class has players this caliber we'll be fine.
His decisions on big men, transfers, and roster culling has been a bit disappointing.
Yes, I'm sure the expectation was that Prohm would be sorting through the top 100 kids and picking out the ones he really wanted.
I would agree there are certainly things you can be critical about with Prohm, but his recruiting seems to be an odd thing to take issue with. Given how long he's been here, I think he's done a remarkable job, and he still has room to improve next year's class with the remaining scholarships.

I think your last half sentence is a huge key. Fans don't want to see another year of no post presence, or disadvantaged undersized team, or discussing again whether Carter improved enough to help a few minutes.
