So you’re saying HoopDirt totally missed on their 4 names which didn’t include Jermaine Henderson. We’ll see who is right soon enough

I believe this is Rob Jones job. Nothing definitive but all signs seem to be pointing that way. If so I think it’s an excellent hire.

I love Jones as a candidate. That’s exactly what I was looking for. A young head coach with proven success at a low major. I didn’t have any inside info on names but I almost threw Jones out as an example when I mentioned Claunch from Nicholls.
A great get by Garrett if he’s the one.

Given that D'Moi Hodge and Tre Gomillion just entered the transfer portal, I think we can safely conclude that the hire is an external candidate.

Jones’ staff at Norfolk State is very MEAC/Mid Atlantic focused. One of them, Jamal Brown, has been a head coach before. I could see them staying with Brown being elevated. Which would keep spots for Summers and Joyce open at CSU. We’ll see though, most coaches like hiring their own staffs and wouldn’t agree to assistants being forced on them.

Jones would potentially have some guys to bring with him from Norfolk State…

Jones would potentially have some guys to bring with him from Norfolk State… I'm not sure if he has any eligibility, but Senior Joe Bryant would be great to have come to CSU as a guard. 16.7 points/game, 34.8% from three, 92% at the free throw line.

Interesting pool of candidates (if correct). Not surprised to see Hodge in the portal. Let's see who stays, it could be another reset and rebuild.
Funny, this last season, I had some expectations of how the Vikes would end up. Now it back to business as usual of seeing what the random generator provides.

Or land some talented transfers I see at least one Iowa State player in the portal. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/2022/03/28/iowa-state-basketball-tre-jackson-enters-transfer-portal-ncaa/7198871001/Jackson was a 3 star combo guard recruit out of South Carolina. He finished his 3 year ISU career with 75 games played and 19 career starts. He averaged 4.2 points and made 75 3-pointers while shooting 32.5 percent behind the arc in his career. He’d be a true senior with a Covid year remaining. Maybe a little Cedric Jackson magic?

Now the bleeding begins. We are are probably losing our two most talented players; In Hodge and Tre.

This hire will kill any of the momentum that we have gained over the past 3 years. Two of our best players are transferring and if they can't be convinced to stay. We In the middle of the pack if not lower. Joyce/ Summers should have been given a shot.

We In the middle of the pack if not lower. Joyce/ Summers should have been given a shot. You are basing this on literally nothing. Summers isn’t thought of highly in coaching circles for head coach positions. I have talked to multiple people who told me he was never a serious candidate. Joyce was way to inexperienced to hand the job to. At this point we have no idea who the new coach is bringing in staff wise or player wise. To make this kind of prediction today is dumb.

Also I say that with literally zero idea if this coach will succeed. I was with Frankie hoping it was someone with head coaching experience because you have a better idea of what we were getting. None of us know anything about this hire. The reality is this though our AD crushed it with the last hire under literally the worst set of circumstances you could hire a coach under. He got to hire this coach under way better circumstances. The AD is miles ahead of any of us with information on these coaches. Also the AD worked with both assistants for years. He more then anyone would know whether they were capable to take over the job.

[/ yet one of the most successful coaches in the history of the program (CSU) hired him that pretty much says it all, don't get me wrong I'm not saying the new coach will be a bad coach I'm just saying this disrupts the continuity of the program that Gates created,I'll trust Gates judgement over your heresay about Summers.We are losing our best talent. This isn't good. But I wish new coach the best of luck and will be rooting for the Vikings as always.

Iowa State fans are gushing about Robinson, so let’s give him a chance please.
Now into recruiting the current players back, and adding where need be. Some names if guys who were being recruited to Iowa State (and some smaller schools as well) who could be target:
- Jordan Shorter - DJ Jefferson - Preston Murphy Jr - Korey Richardson - Fray Nguimbi - Maxime Ekomo
