Holy Hoiberg:

[Husky Dad]

Woj says Hoiberg front runner to get Bulls job. Would be great to see NBA teams take all the great recruiters.

 

[husky99]

They have any 2015 recruits?

It’s been less than a month since Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard’s words about men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg’s potential NBA prospects first truly rattled Cyclone fans.

But over a month before Pollard discussed what he called Hoiberg’s “lifelong goal” of coaching in the NBA, Hoiberg had relayed the possibility that he may have already coached his last game at his alma mater.

In early April, Hoiberg let it be known to five-star recruit Cheick Diallo that his immediate future at ISU was not a certainty, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told the Ames Tribune.

While Hoiberg did not definitively say he planned to move on to the NBA, sources said, he also communicated that he couldn’t fully commit he would be returning to ISU to coach Diallo and what figures to be a preseason top-10 Cyclones team in 2015-16.

Nick Noskowiak, the decommit from Marquette.

Was he the kid who was a cry baby about twitter or something

Don't think so. He had some family issues and was going through depression a while back: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/288186021.html

Is that what you old folks think when you hear the word "depression"? Good lord.

Back in my day, nobody got depressed! They just killed themselves, quietly, like real men!

Pretty sure he's talking about Vander Blue.

Eh, I don't think 99 was referring to him, and he probably had no idea. I wouldn't blast him for that.

 

[aceboon]

Pretty sure he's talking about Vander Blue.

Why would he be referring to Vander Blue when dude left Marquette years ago? Noskowiak was the player who was talking about the issues he had with his father on twitter.

That assistant that Ollie knew and liked on Hoiberg's staff when to St. John's a few weeks ago.

[aceboon]

Didn't the top recruiting assistant already leave that Ollie liked so much?

Yup, to St John's, and while he was there they were more known for getting transfers and identifying lightly regarded recruits and player development, not getting highly ranked recruits right out of HS.

Thanks, I just looked it up and edited my post. I just remember Ollie was linked to him. Good insights.

Ouch. . Old... I am many years from getting an age discount on car insurance or the movies. ..hey Stairmaster you pay your car insurance or does your mommy. ..(just playing)

Yes I mixed-up the kids issues. I am an idiot. ..sorry I forget the back story on some marq player...Remember I getting old

[husky99]

Hell yes...

 

[tzznandrew]

Hell yes...

I'm not even joking about it. We just got Larrier and I'm stoked.

Wait, the strip club?

We have turkey vultures where I live. Occasionally they circle above me while I'm doing yard work. It's disconcerting.

The years and names all blend together for men of a certain age.

Don't own a car, am working to save up and pay for it myself...

I apologize for snapping. Depression and mental health are issues that have affected members of my family so I am a bit hyper-sensitive when it comes to this stuff.

Damn, at that point it might be better to make a different hire and move on. Can't be good to have such hanging over your heads

CL82 (Class of '82?) ... careful with the yard work.

 

[willie99]

I actually dislike college coaches leaving their schools and moving on to the NBA.

1) I'm a college fan first
2) the stress it causes on so many levels
3) more often than not, it turns out to be a mistake career wise
4) loyalty and commitment very high on my living life right scale

and no, I didn't say people can't move or make a decision they feel is best for them, but see number 3
