Who does ISU return? 14 seems kind of high, though I guess they get the Hoiberg bump.
They lost two Big 12 first teamers. They return some nice pieces in Niang and Morris but they're not going to be as good as last year.
100% disagree on being worse. Sure we lost ejim and kane but besides that were returning everyone else. First time in the hoiberg era we have had the bulk of our lineup returning.
Pg's
Monte Morris - set the record for best assist to turnover ratio ever and as a freshman. Made huge strides with his scoring towards the end of the season. One of the top pgs in the b12.
Clayton custer - 4* recruit out of your state alot like morris the way he plays
Bryce Dejean-Jones was unlv's top scorer last year and is said to be a top 3 transfer by most places. Scoring machine, will do well in coach freds system. Has a smooth shot and major ups.
Matt thomas - struggled most of his freshman season but still had the 2nd best season for a freshman in isu history in 3pts made. If his confidence is better this year he might be the best 3pt shooter in the b12.
Naz long - Mr. Clutch. Amazing shooter especially in the clutch.
Fowards
Dustin hogue - one of the top returning rebounders in the b12. Slasher that has the ability to shoot. With niang out last year vs uconn in the sweet 16 he stepped up huge for us. Should put up numbers simular to ejim.
Abdel nader- transfer from Northern Illinois. Was their top scorer which doesn't say much. I honestly dont know how to feel about him. Hes my wild card. However i remember hearing last year when he was on the scout team that he might have been the best player on the court. Also heard he is very good at hitting the tough shots. Also has a 7'1 wingspan.
Jameel mckay- our Shot blocking maching, 6'10 with major ups. Very athletic and soft touch around the rim. Wing span only 2 inches shorter than anthony davis. Really good player.
Daniel edozie - not a huge contributer last year until the end of the season then he filled in some huge minutes in the tournament. Good rebounder huge body
Georgios Tsalmpouris - from greece. Huge guy 7'1. He can shoot and actually moves well. I think when he gets some more muscle he'll be unstoppable but for now just a role player filling in small minutes
Georges niang - possible all American, matchup nightmare. Top foward in the b12 imo. You all know who he is
With all those players i think we should be better. The most talent hoiberg has ever had. We can go huge, we can go snall. Were going to press more this year because we can go 10 deep and have mckay to protect the rim. You know hoibergs teams are going to score but now we have a better defense. We have alot of athleticism too so we should be towards the top in rebounding. Oh plus hilton magic. This is my first post on this site, not trying to anger anyone, i just respectively disagree. We should be a top 3 b12 team this year
