I don't care enough to look myself, but I find these updates interesting and I appreciate the information. Ari may speak for a smaller majority than he thinks.
i like the updates...i think this entire board is about playing the "what if" game.
I agree, it is interesting to watch transfers like Mbakwe, Christopherson, Tyshawn Taylor etc. There is no ill will towards players that transfer. Sometimes the shoe doesn't fit.

Yes and don't forget Jmay, Reggie Smith, Mbao, McMorrow, Ewill, Newbill, and Roseboro.

Newbill was never enrolled, therefore could not have transferred.

He wanted to ... Ty Taylor did not enroll either.

I care too...
Perhaps Ari's speaking for a minority? Or himself? Or maybe if he doesn't care about something he could just not click on the thread rather than taking the time to post how little he cares.
I care, because it is interesting to see how wrong posters are about how good a player is. Many here did not think Christopherson would ever be any good. I do think he looked worse than he was, because he did not look like an athlete and as a freshmen he was playing with to McNeal, Matthews and James, who could make respectable athletes look nonathletic.
Agree that I like to know how some of the guys that have passed through here do elsewhere. If Christopherson stayed at MU, he would have used up his eligibility last season, so no "what if" game for him this season.

Or Nick Williams.
Or Patrick Hazel

So 11 players are on D1 rosters this year that either sighed with MU, or transferred from MU.
I think we have our Non-Conference Schedule!

I don't think we want any "revenge" matches that would lead to "breakout" games by the non-MUers.
But we DID beat Nick Williams.

Yeah, WHAT IF a spot-up shooter who can't guard anyone or rebound took up valuable roster space for 4 years. I DO WONDER ABOUT THAT OFTEN./lived through Mike Deane era

You're seriously overestimating the value of Ari's time.

AND what a HUGE shot it was, beating a .500 team... with a sub .500 conference record... at home.
THAT KID IS GOING PLACES!

Considering they're on pace to go to the NCAA Tournament this year, had he missed that shot and they lost in OT that would obviously not have been a great loss. That shot could be the difference between NCAA and NIT for Iowa State. So yeah, it could be a HUGE shot. The kid scored 17 last night and 19 against the top 5 squad Missouri. Not sure what your beef is with him, maybe he schooled you back in the LaCrosse area high school. He was Honroable Mention All Big 12 last year, yet he'd be a waste of a sholarship for 4 years? God forbid we someone on our roster who is so bad at basketball he can only make Honorable Mention in a high-major conference. Childish.
Best of luck to Scott. Glad he's getting it done at Iowa State.

Looks like that same .500 team is now back to .500 after beating #2 Missouri. Weird.
Odd that the collective MUScoop didn't think Christopherson could do anything for us now gets excited about Jake Thomas.

SC was only like five star recruit when he committed after this sophomore year. For the rest of my thoughts, see the Vander thread.

Well done. Afterall, the kid is merely an all-conference player in the Big 12 (rated #1 or #2 in just about every conference ratings system and ahead of the Big East).
This notion that the guy cannot guard anyone shows me that the experts on this board don't agree with the actual college basketball coaches in the Big 12.

Well, he WAS an all conference player, last year, when the big 12 was more like #3 or #4, and Iowa St. was really bad (3-13 in conference). And can you produce any quote from a coach in the big 12 saying that Christopherson is a good defender?
I don't even really disagree with your premise...I think he would have been a useful player for us. But your statements are 1) incorrect and 2) unsupported.
ADDED: The coaches actually thought so highly of him that they failed to put him on the preseason all conference first team or honorable mention after being given the honor last season.
This month's ESPN the magazine has a feature on Iowa State and the rise in the program with the transfers they have brought in. 4 players are featured in the photos in the article, and Scotty C is not one of them. Which is kind of odd, maybe after I read the article it will make more sense. But I guess ESPN doesn't think much of him either.

That's too bad. He's had a couple big games and big shots lately. 19 points against Missouri, buzzer beating, game winning 3 pointer (and 17 points) against Oklahoma State. He shoots 41% from 3 point land (DJO leads Marquette at 39%...but I forgot, Scott would've never been able to get his shot off in the Big East. He's lucky he plays in such a weak, slow, unathletic conference like the Big 12...) and shoots 92% from the free throw line (Todd leads Marquette players who average more than 5 mpg at 79%). Lord knows Marquette could use a ball handler who can step up to the line and put games away at the free throw line at the end of games. When's the last time Marquette had somebody who shot above 90% from the free throw line? Novak?
I never said he wasn't a good player just simply found it interesting that they wouldn't give him the courtesy of a photo. Considering all you have mentioned (all conference, scoring, etc.)

Did I say something wrong? Looks like my response to you was deleted but I am not certain why.
The coaches in the Big 12 for the preseason only pick honorable mention and first team. A total of 12 players. The actual awards for the Big 12 for all-conference are 29 selections. A first team, second team, third team (accounting or 18 players) and then honorable mention. Christopherson not making the preseason selections is not surprising. Nor would it be surprising if he makes the final list at the end of the year because there are many more actual awards than the preseason selections account for.
I don't think my comments are incorrect because he is a reigning all-conference player. The new team isn't selected until the season is over.
