Guy clearly has a lot of athleticism. It's a just a matter of him figuring out how to use it. When he does, watch out. Definitely wish him well.
Zion Griffin Transferring

I'll feel for your sorrow when they're not.
He reminds me of jakolby long in that his shot looked broken and was terrible.
Looked like he was going to be a high risk player no matter who developed him.
I was always really really excited to see Griffin grow and really explode into that difference maker coming off the bench, something good teams need. I’m sad to see him leave. Best of luck, go somewhere you can get solid minutes guy. Thanks for being a Cyclone.
Honestly I don't think high risk was/is the problem. Zion is as bouncy, physical and as athletic as Ejim and Hogue. But he doesn't have the want to and work ethic to be an undersized 4-5. He still thinks he is a perimeter player. I honestly think that is the difference
Was rated purely on potential. Just didn't pan out. The jakolby long comp is 100% accurate. He'll do really well in a conference like the MVC.
Getting back to ISU, if we lose anyone else at this point I'd be surprised. Haliburton obviously, but I'm not sure anyone else transfers out. Lewis included

I count 13 players that left (or will leave) before their eligibility was/is up under Prohm. I know he doesn’t have a crystal ball but a mix of guys that can’t cut the mustard along side early entries is a recipe for disaster. This year being the worst example, two guys out before the season, likely another two in the next couple weeks and another turning pro. Good god
Classic Steve. Anyone remember that Lindell hype only bench him for the season due to sprained ankle.
Dude must be an arsonist the way he burns bridges with his own players.

Randy's tweet about this is strange as you'd expect. He mentions that this will free up a scholarship for when Halli leaves.
Um, Halli leaving frees up that scholarship. We didn't need two in order to replace one guy.

I wish you well Zion. Hope your dreams come true.
If Solomon Young and Terrence Lewis return, they’d be first and second HS recruit Prohm has landed that has made it to their SR year at Iowa State. It’s been a combination of busts or too good to stay at ISU. That’s one reason why Prohm has struggled to maintain any consistency at ISU.
I mean did Nixon play like he deserved to get all of those mins
Steve really struggles at developing players.
Yes and no. Great developer of PGs, absolutely terrible at everything else.
Hopefully sooner rather than later.
Griffin saw Johnson in practice everyday. Maybe this is more about being recruited over and less about lack of development.
He wasn't developing. Like......at all. He needs to go play at a lower level. Best move for everyone.
