@BarryOnHeresSon @himmyfrogers @TheFieldOf68 My friend, Milan is from Wisconsin.

@himmyfrogers @TheFieldOf68 Get deported?

NEWS: Tomislav and Zvonimir Ivisic will BOTH return to Illinois next season, the team announced They join David Mirkovic and Jake Davis as four of Illinois' key pieces who announced their return today

@AfterDarkCF I remember this one like it was yesterday.

I understand the panic about the Milan Momcilovic situation, let me explain my perspective. This isn’t Momcilovic “bag chasing.” Milan and Otzelberger have been weighing the options on what’s best for both parties. This situation is happening because of the timeline. Iowa State had two avenues: 1. Wait on Momcilovic’s pro decision. If he came back, that’d be great for Iowa State. If he didn’t, they’d be in big trouble with a massive hole on the roster (ie 2022-23). At that point T.J. Otzelberger would be gambling that he could find a couple players that fit what he needed in Early may. That’s a big gamble. 2. Mutually part ways. If Milan couldn’t commit to coming back right now, then it’s safer for Iowa State to allocate those resources elsewhere. Otzelberger knew this was a possibility and had a plan for this. There’s a very good chance that Iowa State’s roster for 2026-27 is completed tonight. I believe that Iowa State’s portal class was built with the thought that Momcilovic wouldn’t be on the team next year. T.J. Otzelberger knows what players fit his program and it’s a lot easier to find those players in mid-April than it is mid-May. It's risk management. Iowa State obviously went with option two. As tough as it is for both parties to move on, it really was the best option for both sides. In a perfect world, Momcilovic would have all of the feedback he needs on April 12. Unfortunately that’s not how it works. It wouldn’t be fair to Otzelberger, the staff and the returners to have the risk of an incomplete team. Milan gave so much to the program. Not every transfer decision resembles the brokenness of college spots. This one is a backup for Momcilovic if he doesn’t get the feedback he expects. It’s a necessity. Should Iowa State have wanted Milan back? Absolutely. He’s the best shooter in America and will be highly sought after whether he stays in the draft or not. You can disagree with Otzelberger’s way of going about it. Sure, he could've taken the risk. There’s an argument to be made either way. But I’d highly recommend trusting the coach who has led Iowa State to the best five year stretch in program history. Momcilovic’s shooting can’t be replaced but Otzelberger can absolutely still put together a great team without him. Fans can rest knowing Otz has a plan for every scenario. My two cents. 📸: Reese Strickland - IMAGN Images

@JWcyclonestv My favorite Cyclone of all time. Congratulations, @georgesniang !

Vintage Georges: “it still feels like I’m trying to run down Welch Ave and re-live my glory days” What a great addition he’ll be to our Hall of Fame!

@DraftExpress @ChrisMWilliams Come on back to Iowa State!

NEWS: Pitt's Nojus Indrusaitis will enter the transfer portal, Gersh Sports told DraftExpress. The 6'5 Lithuanian sophomore broke out over the final two months of the season, shooting 41% from 3 in ACC play. Still only 19.

@AudiCrooks @WideRtNattyLt Thank you for an amazing three years, Audi! You will go down as one of the greatest Cyclones ever.

@CBlank_ISU @RealMarcusFizer @CyowaSt8 All is well. I intended to reference the Royce White type skill set. Was never about him personally or anything off the court.

@RealMarcusFizer @Dustin_Mallie @CyowaSt8 I read that as a coach to bring in to help Develop guys! Certain personalities we don’t need within the program.

Cyclone friends. If you could choose past players to join the coaching staff with Otz, who would you want?

@CBlank_ISU @CyowaSt8 @RealMarcusFizer I suggested you as a coaching option then referenced players like Jefferson and Royce White (versatile forwards with unique skills) as the type of player you could help develop. Wasn’t about those guys directly, just that type of player. Chad took offense to the Royce mention.

@CBlank_ISU @CyowaSt8 @RealMarcusFizer He’s an example of the type of player Fizer could help develop from a skill set standpoint. That’s all.

@_AlexGookin Completely agree.

Kinda hate that he was ejected. Definitely flagrant but I think he was trying to avoid being paralyzed for life.

Great group of men. Thank you for everything, seniors!

Hard fought battle. Congrats to Coop on 1,000 career points, and thank you to all of the seniors for their dedication to CPU. This class will be missed.

“I’ll never forget the conversation with my doctor. A cell phone can put [my pacemaker] off. If anything ever happens I’m done.” Fred Hoiberg speaks out about his altercation with an Iowa fan during the court storm in Iowa City. “That stuff should never happen.”
