    Playing for a lame duck coach isn't very appealing.

    I would say in this day and age, 80% of coaches can be fired or could leave at any moment. And since you can leave via the portal whenever you want for the most part, I don't think it matters like it used to. People want instant gratification and when there's no updates it's doomsday. I just hope we get a solid group and a good mixture. It's proven in this tournament that you can win via the portal.

    Anyone who wouldn't be fired up by Rice is nuts: https://wsucougars.com/news/2024/3/26/mens-basketball-myles-rice-named-to-freshman-all-america-team.aspx

    The Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, became the first Cougar since Klay Thompson was named an honorable mention in the 2009 All-Freshman Team and the 12th player in WSU history to earn All-America honors...In addition to his Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors, Rice was also named to the All-Pac-12 First Team and the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team. Thirteen times Rice dished out five or more assists and grabbed multiple steals in 16 games.

    still 2000 to enter.another reason why its stupid seeing IU listed talking to ever other player in the portal.

    You might as well talk to them, no? Just because they're talking doesn't mean they're offering. Got see who has real interest. Not sure the harm in talking to everyone and making sure you've covered your bases.

    Don't take offense, because this isn't aimed at you. When I see reports of these "seen by numerous students" sort of things.......let's just say I'm hesitant to put much faith in it. Kind of like anonymous sightings of Donovan's wife looking at houses in Bloomington, or someone's niece who "is not much of a basketball fan" knowing for certain that X player was at the local watering hole.

    Yeah, it was bulls+&t. I don't normally buy this bs btw

    And this year was the much improved version.

    "The Iowa State basketball coaching staff knew things needed to get better offensively. They had no illusions about the reality that their success in T.J. Otzelberger’s first two seasons came in spite of the offense."

    "The Cyclones went to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments, including a Sweet 16, because the defense was elite. If it had been merely very good, Iowa State probably spends the month of March the last two seasons in the NIT because of an offense that couldn’t even catch a whiff of the top-100 in efficiency."

    "So to say Iowa State shooting 23 percent from the floor, 9 percent from 3-point range and scoring 41 points in a first-round upset to Pitt last year was a catalyst for change isn’t exactly accurate."

    “Our first two years, we had a lot more sets and slowed it down,” Schmidt (assistant) said. “This year, we’ve really tried to focus on playing together, playing connected, moving on penetration, creating action and just staying connected.” 

    For sure. But he's a really good coach to get a team with that level of talent a 2 seed.

    I think Woody knows he has to make some changes. And I think the inside out comment it’s getting taken way way way overboard. I’m watching the NCAA games and I’m seeing a ton of inside play. But there are shooters with the post players. Also athleticism in droves in the backcourt. I could definitely see us playing small ball some this year. See how the roster pans out. 

    I agree. You can knock him for having a bad roster. That is a legit beef. But the style of play is based on the guys on the floor.  His best player last year was TJD. His best players this year were Ware and Reneau. Not too many teams could stop either 1 on 1.  It would make no sense for this year's IU team to jack up 30 3's a game. If he has no shooters again this year or has shooters but offense still sucks...

    But the main reason was because of the roster more than style of play. For them to play "modern" basketball this year, Ware and Reneau would both only play 5.  MM at 4, TG at 3, AL or CJ at 2 and Cupps at one. The problem is 1, 2 & 3 - can't or don't shoot or score consistently. Had to go to the double post again to get the best players on the floor. Watch the NBA (modern basketball). It's inside out. Teams try to score underneath, if they can't, they kick it out (quickly). The key is who you are kicking it out to has to be able to drain the open three. They definitely need to shoot more threes but in reality they just need to make more.

    CJ needs to learn the difference between a good shot and a bad shot. He was too eager to fire up a shot every time he touched it. The force is with him.

    I don't think he's a very good bench player. So if he starts, I bet you'll see a better version of him.

    33% career 3pt shooter that can get to the rim, bull dog defender, distributer, creator, solid rebounder from the 1 or Jack Gohlke 37% 3pt shooter that just shoots 3s and and is a below average defender?

    I am not turning down Perkins, but he's not a threat from three. He made 23 threes this season. We cannot repeat the same stuff that's hindered us the past how many years. The starting lineup has to have someone who can knock down threes. And if Woody is intent on starting Gallo, then we basically have no shooting again. He's really got to understand this.

    There’s good things being said involving Perkins at the moment 

    What about Leland Walker then? And if Perkins is playing off ball like some have mentioned, then 3 shooting is not going to be improved whatsoever based on Perkins history. Not to beat a dead horse but IU needs shooting!! I am fine with bringing in tough nosed, not turnover prone PGs, but then we've got to 100% bring in some cold stone killer shooters.

    If I was guessing he go offered a full time gig that he will start once he is done with his grad program. Otherwise he likely would’ve went to Michigan. 

    Yeah, that's what I would guess as well. Because he really did update his entire Twitter profile. So IU must have countered.

    Apparently not so fast on this one.

    (fine by me) 

    Not everyone is going to play big minutes. Not sure why taking a flyer on a guy with 7'2 wingspan and 42 inch vertical would be a bad idea especially in the portal era.
