The staff is banking on 1 for 09' and 6 for 10' I believe...
I see a chance of Golden and Thomas being guys that could leave after 1 or 2 years, and same with Sullinger, but alot of his chances to leave early will depend on how much growing he does in the next couple years... |

ISU men's basketball: Top-tier schools covet ex-Cyclone guard By RICK BROWN ? ribrown@dmreg.com ? May 28, 2008 Iowa State still has not granted permission for other schools to contact basketball player Wesley Johnson, but that may change soon. Johnson is in the process of providing Iowa State a list of schools to which he would consider transferring. ?(Athletic director) Jamie Pollard and I are waiting to see that list of schools,?? Iowa State coach Greg McDermott said Tuesday. The Des Moines Register asked for a list of schools requesting permission to talk to Johnson through Iowa?s open records law. As of Tuesday, those schools were Arkansas, Cincinnati, Marquette, Mississippi, Ohio State, Sam Houston State, Southern Methodist, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and Wyoming. Cont... |

Boy, glad we didn't schedule any more games with ISU, seeing as though they would only grant his release to teams not on their future schedules or to another Big 12 team. Would have 3 years left to play 2.
Sophomore year averages: 12.4 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 33% from 3pt range, 1.4 assists per game, and 0.9 steals per game. Those stats are a little higher than his stats from his freshman year, though he did average almost 8 rpg and better than a block per game as a frosh. His point stats are a bit misleading though, as midseason it looks like he was getting 20 ppg on a pretty consistent basis against some good teams (Kansas x2, Kansas St, Oklahoma St, Alabama, Mizzou), but his production really went down as the team tanked near the end of the season (ISU lost 12 of their last 14 games last year). Wesley played 38 of 40 minutes when they visited the Schott his freshman season (against Oden & Co.). His stats from the game: 10 pts (4-11 fg, 2-5 3pt), 8 rebs, 2 blks, 1 ast. Not bad. Anytime you can get a 6'7" forward with proven production at this level against the competition he faced in the Big 12, you take him and run with it. Wes would be a real asset to any of those teams. I hope we can aquire his services! |

Like I posted in another thread the reason for his up and down numbers, lack or rebounds etc. was due to a stress fracture in his foot that he played thru...
I would love to pull him in tho...Could be a guy that could see action at the 3 mostly and maybe some at the 4, in the 4 out 1 in offense... His length would be a huge asset on defense as well... On a side note he looks like Buford... |

I wasn't aware that a school could provide stipulations on releasing a player. I had always thought that either you released him or you didn't...period. I can understand why a couch wouldn't want a good player to transfer to another of their conference schools though; however, I thought most coaches just took the position that "if you don't want to play here, we don't want you either, so don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out". Very interesting....
