UM Graduate Transfer Max Bielfeldt To IU

Chicago will act quickly before Minnesota gets too involved. He has history with Minnesota, but he inherits better talent at Chicago. Of course replacing a coach that went to the playoffs in the 5 years he was there would seem to say the expectations will be high. Either way, I don't see him staying at Iowa State.

You could argue that the talent in Minnesota will be better than Chicago next year.

Idk, Minnesota might be looking pretty attractive right about now.

I'd say Minnesota is more intriguing because of young talent. Bulls are intriguing because of veteran talent and they're in the East. But the T'Wolves have Wiggins, LaVine, Rubio and the #1 pick(Should be getting Towns). Plus I think a good trade piece in Pek.

Because it's not winter?

Minnesota... Chicago... weather sucks in both lol.

[Lt. John McClaine 541]

The weather definitely sucks in both, but Minnesota has hotter girls.  lol

Iowa weather is not great.

Bozich just tweeted he's waiting to see what happens with the hoiberg/bulls situation.

Pretty simple, if hoiberg stays.. Then he's a cyclone

I probably shouldn't have the attitude that I do, but I want guys who have us as option a and not option b. If we get him great, but it will probably take me a while longer to warm up to him thinking we're his second choice.

we need to establish a plan A here quick and make him our plan B as he seems to be making us

[8bucks 6,352]

I get that and all but it goes both ways. Calbert ended up being a pretty good plan b or c for us

Strange recruitment----but does anyone else find it interesting Crean is not bringing in back-up bigs to put the pressure on Max ??? Either Crean feels pretty confident we end up with Max----or he already has a back-up plan in place. Just my thoughts. We shall se how this plays out.

Crean's backup plan is Hartman/Holt playing the 5 and bringing in two "diamonds in the rough" from Idaho and Vermont.

I really hope there is a plan B for a backup 5 man.

Forget about him and go after Paschal chukwu

I could be wrong but I honestly don't really think it's that he likes one place or the other all that much more.  Both us and ISU are in similar standing for next year (top 10ish team, not a ton of size), but one of those teams involves him playing in the same conference and competing against a lot of his close friends at Michigan.  I wouldn't hold it against him at all if we're his 2nd choice.  It makes sense, and if he does end up here and busts his ass day 1, you won't hear any complaints from me.

Fwiw most people believe hoiberg is headed to the Bulls.. We shall see

ISU is almost Top 5. I don't see how IU is starting out Top 15. I get it with ISU. They're really good. If Hoiberg stays then they have a much better coach than we do(which isn't really that hard).

Max would be an excellent addition to the team  Besides being a backup post player he would be an excellent mentor for Holt and Bryant.  He's had some run against B1G bigs and could provide insight for Bryant.

Indiana was a clearly better team in January than February/March, we didn't sustain the level of play, but we were around 15 then. Much of that was James and Rob hitting that wall around 20 games and of course porous defense.

 

We should be better

I'm cool with what we got. Let's get it on!
