Chet Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Iowa State's remake from last season to this season is remarkable. The portal changes everything. Nobody is likely to go to the portal from the team. Whitesell is beloved by his players. Who knows what is possible for next season, right?

Hopefully they love him enough to play up to their fullest potential. Go Bulls!!🤘🏼🤘🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right before the Battle/Bortz/Bird/Gilbert class stepped in. I gotta hope our current freshmen have a similar pedigree to that one. Get them all into next year's rotation with (most likely) Hardnett, Perry, some transfers and 1-2 additional freshmen. Try to at least make top 8 in the MAC, which would be a big goal at this point. Then hope 2024 is like our first 3 NCAA teams which were mostly lead by Junior-class talents, with a few Sr's, Soph, Frosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero expectations and hopefully a young roster that can go out there and grow together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my simple mind you could be better off having a senior PG with Jones getting solid minutes off the bench. Obviously this may ruffle some feathers. Do others see bringing in one of these PG is an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally in mid-major basketball, you're running three "guards" at once and I'd like to see us get back to that. Toledo smoked us with lineups that at times had four guards on the floor. Also, I think Ceaser is really, really good and will play top-5 minutes as a freshman. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact freshmen at mid-majors don't happen, or they would be in a Power 5 conference. Unless the coaches can bring in 2-3 portal transfers from D1 programs, next year will be a complete rebuilding year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree need to add a couple of transfers, which they are exploring per Transfer Portal News thread. However, they have their work cut out for them. Hopefully hear about another commit soon.

Averaged 11.3 and was the leading scorer in the MAC Championship game. There are diamonds in the rough out there to be had, albeit few and far in between. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree they are out there but we rally don’t know how they will fare until they start playing. We can only speculate and give our opinions on how these young players who did not get any playing time will perform. If they perform positively we should give credit to both player and coach. I wonder if the entire coaching staff will still be here?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4three Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 With jones committing, looks like we will be seeing a lot more 3 guard line ups Now have 5 guards that should get playing time in Jones,Jones,Caesar,Blocker,Powell Hopefully means more ball pressure and a good rotation as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to figure expectations for upcoming season is difficult. My view we are 4-6 seed, 9-9 or 10-8 in MAC, composite rank of 135-175, but there is definitely a lot of unknowns. Given that I will be looking for development of young core over the year building hope of better things in 2023-24. Curious what others think. I expect the range of expectations to be large. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
