Robert Jones commits to ISU
- Thread starter baagoe
- Start date
Pretty sure he enrolled as a frosh.
Thoughts:
Is Grill still coming back? If so, that would be 3 spots filled that are ... (fill in the blank).
Could Jones and GC mean Foster is a 4?
It's ISU and Oakland battling for a recruit?
I'm no expert and whoever comes in, I'll be cheering!

Jaz I can see doing this, he's shown he can be a contributor at the P6 level. But the jump between the Summit League to the B12 is massive, and Jones doesn't seem to have performed like a player ready to make that jump. I get that we need depth pieces and have lots of spots, but I don't know if it's worth potentially missing on a guy down the road who may or may not be in the portal yet to take Jones this fast.
I sure hope TJ can get an impact wing or guard because this team needs it, especially if Bolton is gone as the rumors say.

Next thing you know we will have Jakolby Long back in Ames.
Lots of overreacting in this thread. A new coaching staff wanting to bring in high character, hard worker type that will stay for 3 years and help build a culture can be a big positive into today's high player turnover environment.
Also being the worst program in the Big 12 for the past two years doesn’t help. People need to realize where we’re coming from right now.
Hoiberg got Royce White, Chris Babb, Chris Allen after the McDoormat era.
True, but the transfer landscape was completely different back then as well
this just shows how far prohm drove this program into the ground the last two years. went farther into depths then mcdermott did.
nothing a good bagman couldn't fix
Seems like a skilled accountant could help move some $$ around
People don't actually think that proven, impact transfers are coming to play on a two win team do they?
I know the pitch for Otz was mostly as an all star recruiter, but he isn't nearly as high profile or proven to sell that to top tier guys two weeks into this job.

Though I agree Otx will have to present a good case to come to ISU, I fully believe will be going after impact transfers this month. The staff was just set 2 days ago they are making calls as we post. TJ isn't resigned to just scouring the bottom of the portal.
I find it hard to believe that given the amount of guys in the portal, there aren't a few that would prioritize playing in a premier conference and having a huge role if they can earn it. I really think the record the past two years is extremely overblown when you're talking recruiting guys who may be looking to jump up a level or two and get chances on ESPN/whatever. I would bet guys are more likely to think they'll change that and help turn the team into a winner than worried about what happened before they came.
