Probably the best shape I've seen Iowa State basketball in in years.
Haliburton, Horton-Tucker and Wiggington look to be a team to build around for a nice 2-3 year run. [Reply]

I hate to see the streak end but damn. Hopefully this team is better next year.
I wonder if the whole FBI investigation into Addidas is playing into this at all?
No, not yet. Looks like it's taken it's toll on next years recruiting class though. The fact that Grimes looks like a Top 150 recruit instead of a Top 7 recruit is having alot to do with it. [Reply]

I've been wondering the same thing. And when the hammer falls this offseason...what kind of shape will the program be in?
Rivals has us so far as the #48 ranked recruiting class with 2 4 stars. No one wants to touch us till they see what's going to happen from the fallout. I'm not a "sky is falling" fan, but this feels like Camelot starting to crumble. :-) [Reply]

Well, we also have a bench chalk full of unskilled athletes. Now that Doke is out there isn’t anybody that can’t run on the whole bench, worst one is probably McCormick.
I’d say pressure the fuck out of everything and if they get you they get you. [Reply]

Hey! Look who showed his face finally!! Welcome back rust! This might finally be next year!! [Reply]
We're not a good team, but every year we have this down part after the first week or two of conference play. I don't think this team rebounds like in years past, but I'll take this down year over the no tournament year for UNC, or the UK first round NIT loss. [Reply]
