The shitty transfers you speak of came in under Prohm. TJ was an assistant for one year under Prohm. Not sure if we even brought any transfers in that first year with Prohm considering the talent Hoiberg left behind. The good ones I listed came in under Fred and TJ as Associate Head Coach. Yes it does make sense.
Iowa State just reloaded..
- Thread starter ketelmeister
- Start date
No. None of the BS you’re spewing makes sense.
Is it true what somebody said about ISU having more players who have averaged 9 or more points in BiG play than Iowa?
10-12 win improvement puts us at something like 13-16, depending how many games played.
.500 would be about as high as I’d predict. But very hard to predict w all the moving pieces.
Wth has TJ proved as an in-game coach? My god he was not good at UNLV. To think he is going to get you 6-8 wins because of inbound plays? Isn’t the knock on him is that he isn’t an X and O’s guy?
No see we need to pick and choose what facts do and don’t count for the delusions of clown fans to be valid. The clowns are going to go from 2 wins to be around .500 because clown fans say so .
Anything that doesn’t fit their delusions must be ignored. Nothing will convince clown fans differently. Of course next year at this time they will be full of excuses as to why isu didn’t live up to their expectations and how exciting it is for their latest set of transfers and how they will definitely make them a tourney team.
Condensed version of the definition of Hilton Magic during the Orr era:
lose a shit ton of games on the road while playing decent at home, upsetting some ranked teams along the way. Magic!
Oh BTW Iowa has a better record at Carver than ISU does at Hilton. Carver Magic!
Iowa fans know Bohannon struggles on defense. ISU fans think Kalscheur is a good to great defender.
How much of Kalscheur have you watched?
Frankly, your track record when it comes to Iowa and the players leaves a lot to be desired. You might just want to sit this one out.
Leave it to clown fans to have an inability to grasp the difference between a coach that has won games in the NCAA tournament and then their coach who hasn’t.
The financial genius that Pollard has knows no limits.
It was a nightmare season. Last year there were seven new players trying to replace some key guys that went pro. Those seven guys were cheated out of much of preseason practice due to COVID. Then had an abbreviated non-conference schedule which they badly needed. The next thing you know they were in the midst of one of the toughest top-to-bottom conference schedules in recent Big 12 history.
It was a recipe for disaster and that's exactly how it played out. It also didn't help that a couple of guys that were badly needed were hurt and didn't play or played very little. The team lacked a true point guard and and an effective center. With a few exceptions they never gave up and were in many games late, but just weren't good enough or mentally tough enough to finish games.
While all of that is true when clown fans were pushed about this in the pre-season they all said the new transfers made isu so much better. In fact according to most on cryclown fanatic isu was a fringe tourney team going into last year.
For some odd reason I can’t find a single post from clown fans saying isu was going to go 2-22 ahead of the season starting. Maybe you can find one for me.
LOL, what?
ISU was replacing Haliburton (who missed the last 1/4 or 1/3 of the season) Jacobson and Nixon and then lost Griffin, Grill and Lewis to transfer.
Somewhat random question. Is it true that PMAC and the Murray twins are 21 or will be 21 shortly? If true it struck me odd based on their eligibility status. For example Horton -Tucker is completing his second year with the Lakers and won’t be 21 until November. Enaruna, the KU transfer played two years at KU and won’t be 20 until next month. Did PMAC lose time with his cancer battle? What about the twins? Seem to be two years older than their class.
My guess is clown fans are going to argue that the reason they suck is because they lose too many young players to the pros. Funny thing though is the Iowa football team has lost numerous players early to the NFL draft the past 4-5 years and have yet to have a 2 win season.
Clown fan delusion knows no limits.
That is my point. Ok great. We have older players. Um OK. I don’t care how old they are as long as we win within the rules. Didn’t they have some forward that was on like his 3-4 team last year that could have come back? Who cares? Kentucky and Duke (and I am surely not comparing Iowa to them overall of course) were very young this year. I mean ISU is currently taking a bunch of transfers who have played years already in college. But my God I wouldn’t spend a Saturday night looking up their birth certificates.
I am not sure what is more pathetic, that clown fan buy the age thing as to why they suck or that they have no life so they post on a rivals site at all hours on the weekend.
As CyTwins says YIKES.
Sorry. It came up in a conversation with some Hawk friends when discussing Keegan being in some mock drafts and whether he would leave early.
They thought they were older but weren’t sure and didn’t know why they were old for their class.
Are you and your friends so effing dumb you don't know how to access information via the internet?
Wait...no need to answer that.
Isn’t this the internet? Where would you suggest we look to see why they’re two years old for their class? Maybe a Hawkeye basketball website?
Just seemed being 21 when starting their second year of college seemed older. I’m old but I didn’t turn 21 until I completed my third year of college. I realize these days sports parents tend to keep kids back if they can.
They turn 21 just before the academic year starts. They are one year older than other sophomores only because they went to prep school. What a weird thing to get hung up on.
Caleb Grill and the Murray's were in the same HS class. Grill is entering his junior season and turns 21 next month.
Didn’t mean to make a big deal out of it. Again, it started with the discussion of Keegan leaving early. I’m sure you’ll agree that his age will come into play when/ if he makes his decision. Not a bad thing. My apologies.
Here is what it looks like when comparing the potential starting 5 and 6th man for each team. Both lack a proven star.

Prep school will do that! Having an August birthday and turning 21 as an “academic” junior is not out of the ordinary. Weird angle the Clowns are going after 🤷🏼
I prefer players to be older or upper classmates so I can't speak for everyone else. But i will take an older player on a team over a kid. Look at Baylor this season or the ISU team that had Kane, Ejim, and Hogue on it. They dominated by a physicality stand point because they were grown ass men. So I'm not sure what the other poster was getting at. But I don't agree.
Remove this past season, and TJ had a pretty good run at South Dakota State and UNLV.
This past season, UNLV had a long shut down early on with COVID, and they lost their starting PG early, and it just never got real pretty in 20-21.
