Iowa State's road to the Final 4 is Clear Sailing; Purdue will CHOKE, guaranteed

[iahawkeyes17]

You are in for a rude awakening next year. ISU's freshman are more talented than this year's Iowa freshman.....significantly

Really and how would you know. Fact is Tyler cook and Bohannon were first team all conference for freshman. Cook was higher rated than anyone isu is bringing in and the big thing is Iowa's freshman already proved it isu class hasn't done anything yet. Also least Iowa had jok and few other players returning. Another fact is isu is losing over 65 pts a game and your best player coming back is Solomon young. Keep drinking the koolaid and letting yourself believe that...

Cook is not higher rated that Wigginton. Lewis & McNeil are going to be special as well.

Actually espn had cook higher 38 compared to wiggington at 42. But if you want to go off rivals rankings than wiggington is however Connor is ahead of McNeil and Garza is one spot below so with that rationality is Iowa has 2 players that are also going to be special coming in on top of freshman class of cook, Bohannon, pemsl and moss who've already proven it. Obviously as a clone fan you will bias as will an Iowa but no guarantee all 3 players for either class will be special unless you have a way to see into the future. But I forgot isu has that "strong foundation" of returning players to build around.

Highly unlikely, and at this point impossible to know.

Highschool rankings dont mean anything compared to actual on court success. That is fact.

Your team will be worse next year, Iowa will be better. You lost this year.....think about it.

You are correct to some extent but when the players are competing against the best teams in America. It is much easier to evaluate. Take a kid from Sioux City compared to a kid from a top prep program, which do you think has been evaluated properly? If you think it is the Sioux City kid, then good luck to ya.

If you want to argue your incoming frosh are better than Iowas fine. Thats an argument you can make with a straight face.

To say they're better than two first team all freshman members in a major college conference based on highschool evaluations is beyond laughable.

Again with that logic Iowa has 2 players rated higher or equal (1spot behind) of McNeil and both ahead of the other isu recruit according to rivals both who you claim will be "special". so guess Iowa fans can make same claim for Connor and Garza.

Not to mention that Nunge went off for 33 points and 14 rebounds in his Indiana state championship game

As long as none of our players are stupid enough to talk trash about beating ISU before the game is played...I like our chances.

I believe nunge was just moved to a four star as well, per John Miller.
