With option to return back to school...
Agree -- it's always good to get feedback. He has improved each year where it might not always show up in the stat column but I expect to see those results as he matures into his junior and senior seasons. His defense has improved from his frosh year and he was quite decent at the end of that year too. Offense can sometime be a bit on the dow jones side but he usually doesn't try to force the issue when not getting open shots. I am hoping to see him put it all together next season and become more consistent especially on offense because his defense is one of the best on the team.I don’t see any issues here. Maybe he will get some advice as to what he needs to improve on.
He will be back or transfer! Where else can he go? He isn’t going on to the NBA.Selfishly, I hope he comes back because I think he is going to have a big year for ISU next year. He has nothing to lose by going through this process.
I could have saved him the trouble in getting NBA draft feedback:
* Needs to get in weight room - like a lot.
* Needs to shoot higher % specifically from 3Pt land
* Needs to be a better ball handler
* Needs to improve Ast/TO ratio which was 1.4/1.8 last season
* Needs to play better defense
* Needs to play better competition consistently
Otherwise he may have a shot. Have not seen Dan make any public comments? Interesting, usually a coach will come out supporting his player in these situations. I am guessing Dan is vacationing in Florida and too busy.
I’m not sure adversity has to even be involved for the transfer bug to bite.What if the feedback is, you need to enter the transfer portal, and get to a coach/program that can develop your talent?
College basketball is increasingly about who can best navigate the transfer/grad transfer market. Another failed area for Muller, IMO. The new ease of transfer era certainly benefits the P5 programs that are poaching the best players from programs further down the food chain. Today’s youth tends to bail at the first sign of any adversity.
