Queens (NY) Christ the King combo guard Dwayne Pierce has committed to Iowa State at halftime of his team's nationally televised game on ESPNU. Another huge addition for CTJO in the 2024 class.

Linking a network piece here from Rivals' Travis Graf...

Passes at 81.

I just started to do a deep dive into our recruiting and I have never been this excited about the future. It seems to me that TJ is putting pieces together for strong teams. The growth in offense this year is encouraging. We were not going to survive long at last year's efficiency.

Next year we have for sure: Lipsey, Watson, Biliew, Momcilovic, Hamilton, E.King, and Fish. King and fish are longshots to be contributors next year.

Williams will hopefully be recovered, but realistically expecting anything until 2nd semester is foolish and even then it may be slow. The end of the year is only 18 months out from his Achilles injury.

That leaves the 4 Covid guys - Grill, T King, Ward, and Jones. Any of the first 3 would absolutely have to be replaced from the portal.

Because of Williams' uncertainty, and to a degree Grill's, we need to have a combo guard from the portal.

The next year is where it gets interesting. We are clear of Covid guys (unless we bring one in). But have Williams, Lipsey, Watson, Biliew (think he will be here 2 years), Momcilovic, Hamilton, and 4 talented frosh (assuming we hit all of our targets), one who is 7ft plus. TJ has built the foundation and will use th Portal to augment specific needs. First time ever I can see a long term plan and it is exciting.

They all lost in the last 2 days...

#6 Gonzaga lost at home tonight to Loyola
#7 Texas lost to us
#8 Xavier lost to a bad DePaul team last night.

The Top 10 is beckoning if we can take care of business at Oklahoma State on Saturday.

This keeps getting more exciting

The Cyclones and Cowboys tip off around 1:00 this afternoon in Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater. The game will be carried on ESPN+. I'll have the periodic updates in the thread below.

Headed to Orlando for Spring Break. We are able to use Working Advantage through my wife's work. Looking for rental cars on the Work Advantage site, NU dominates the listings and the cars are much less per day than the more known rental companies, Avis, Hertz, National etc. I've never even heard of the company NU. Available in 14 US cities. Same cars listed for each class as the other companies. The price per day is so much lower, my red flag warning beacon went off.

Any insight on this company?

ISU is hosting an indoor track meet today. Can one go and watch as a spectator? Our daughter is becoming a pretty good distance runner, thought it would be cool for her to catch part of the meet today if possible before the women’s bball game.

The new Tom Izzo?

33-13 11:00 in first. Playing loose and fast on a 19-0 run.

now 37-15 @ 8:30

The Cyclones and Longhorns tip off around 7:00 tonight inside Hilton Coliseum. The game will be carried by ESPN+. I'll have the periodic updates in the thread below.

Anyone catch the rematch last night of Waukee's dismantling and avenging an earlier loss?

All I can say is the Omaha is an elite defender already and will fit in perfectly with TJ.

He was matched against the Iowa committ, Sandfort and locked him down. He did get his points,
but I saw 7 when Omaha was taking a breather late in the half and he got some garbage points late in
the game. His development is going to be fun watch!

This should be right up the alley of you Xs and Os guys.

It’s the third in a row

How/why is this going on? It’s big lack of exposure for us. We’ve played 2 top 10 teams
Has Pollard raised hell about this ? He needs to if he hasn’t

Every ranked team except for FAU is on national tv
Same as when we played Texas and Kansas

we are the only team in the Big 12 not on national tv

Also leads Waukee to a blowout win over Northwest.

And I will admit I haven’t actually watched Omaha play a game just clips. My questions are, why do they run him as a PG and not let him devour down low?

Second question, how’s his defense? You can see how crazy athletic he is but it’s hard to tell by the cheerleader’s view of the game.

Meh. Impossible to top the 1st as far as jaw dropping effects but this was just a remake of the first but with water. Plain and simple. Not an intriguing story, nothing other than great CGI imho.

Who do we root for? Beakers or Purple Pussies?
