Well after watching Drake/Wichita state I’m like we get the right guys here from the transfer market and add it to who’s currently here we can dance next year.
I can guarantee that is the goal of TJ and every D1 coach.
Hunt would likely start day one. Remember the days of Stinson, Blaylock? Both I think started as Freshman. Seems like the Freshman recruited by Steve just wern't going to play for awhile.
Well of course there was Tyrese, Horton-Tucker, Wigginton. But other than those 3, LOL
Feast or famine?

It’s almost amazing how our cyclone brains start talking us into it every year.
I can't imagine the dogfight happening behind the scenes right now to get impactful transfers. Especially since they'll all be eligible immediately (I have that right, don't I?)
And even more importantly, some will have more than 1 year left.

At this point, it's kinda just a part of the college basketball landscape. I would not mind whatsoever if one of the four? spots secured a stud.
Feast or famine sums up recruiting the past 6 years pretty well.
Honestly I think it was a matter of player development too. Obviously that's not all on coaches, the players themselves are the biggest factor. However, guys like T-Lew or Zion Griffin were highly regarded guys that just didn't seem to grow much in their time here. I'm guessing given the amount of support TJ has received from former players that he'll do better in that department, at least.
Anybody know how many scholarships are open at Nebr. yet? We can't let Matt A. get all the good transfers. I bet he's in overdrive mode this off-season.
Thats the thing, every school has misses. They could have been misses for someone else too.
I can’t say how glad I am Matt A isn’t in Ames.
This. So, so much. I think players have to take it on themselves to improve their own skills. But, they also must have the natural talent that they can develop. Guys like you mentioned just either didn't have the raw talent or they just never were able to maximize it. Just like in football, a lot of those 4 star guys just don't do the work to become elite.
Be patient and get the right transfers. Don’t just go sign a bunch of ten point per game guys from a mid major
Wasn’t McKinley Wright coming here until Prohm pulled his scholarship or something? Dude has had a great career at Colorado.
Agree, it’s largely on the players, so development is largely recruiting the right type. I think TJ will do better in this regard. He wants guys that live basketball. On the other hand, Zion was never developing under any of the past 6 coaches we’ve had imo.
