Clarance has an upside... Hein does not. Hein is a little shinny river rock, while Clarance might be a big uncut diamond. Mediocrity does not build great teams. take a chance on big diamond.

Is there a reason Muller wont say anything in regards to Romine? Or is the media afraid to ask the difficult questions?

Back when he was sitting in the bench but not dressing yet, I asked Benson on Twitter if Romine was in uniform. He said “No- just practicing with the team as that is ISU’s only official comment”. So it sounds like they have asked the questions- just not gotten any answer...

Do we really need to refer to student athletes in such mean, awful ways? Can't we be better than that?

Romine has personal problems that far outweigh basketball. Beyond that I won’t comment.

My choice....

Yarbrough, Fayne, Evans, Madison, Bruninga, Clarence, David, Tinsley
Then Gassman and Hein

But, I think it will be Hein and not Clarence. Last nights game had Clarence on the bench and Hein playing. Both have not been good, but as stated the upside for Clarence is there. Hein is in year 3 and has hit his peak. Move on to Clarence.

Can I just ask.....are these new problems this year or had they been going on before this year?

EC and Romine are the most interesting.

If EC isn't in the rotation did we waste a year by not redshirting him with the injury? I know it isn't good for ISU, but don't feel like this year is going to be worth it for him if he's out the rotation the rest of the way.

I think Romine is probably gone. He's going to be behind PF, DN, and TB, plus we recruited over him with Dixon and Idowu.

I'm getting the feeling that you're right about Romine being gone. I don't have any inside info, but he'll be three years into his career and has hardly played any minutes at all. Bruniga has more experience now than him.
It would be very upsetting if EC was benched for the year. Not To try and join the Hein bashing group, but if he is In the 8 then something is terribly wrong. And it all starts with recruiting.

Players gotta buy in. If EC demonstrates in practice that he should be among the 8, then he'll be in the 8. It's really up to him.

Sounds like they got an answer, just not one anybody wants to hear.

But if shinny river rock is beating uncut diamond in practice . . .

Tinsley is trash. Beyond disappointing. Rather see gassman.

C'mon man. Can you please NOT diss our players like this? Tinsley isn't trash. He's a nice kid who wants to be here.

You want to say you think his play doesn't warrant being among the 8, say that. You want to say he can't shoot. Say that. You want to say he gets beat defensively. Say that.

Let's not attack them as people. None of these kids are trash.

Agreed. Tinsley is trying and I just wish some shots would fall to give him confidence. Him and a couple of other of our role players.

Part of me wonders about what type of coaching Tinsley is getting. He mentioned in an interview early in the year the coaches told him to be a shooter. Wasn’t supposed to drive. Now a couple weeks ago they told him to be more of a driver.

I just hope that the stallings way of coaching today’s kids isn’t how Muller is coaching because it isn’t effective with today’s college athlete. Using hein as your geuina pig to get players to buy in isn’t fair to hein and it doesn’t seem to be working with this team. But I am not coaching this team and sitting in practices so I have no clue if that is what is going on. I hope we see a different team Saturday.
