Iowa State's All-Transfer team just have to be good swimmers!! (and more...)

Iowa State has a little work to do before their basketball arena is playable after the flooding there.
Here's a picture of the arena with a foot of water sitting on it.

Daniel West followup--
From Saginaw HS originally got a scholarship offer from Bradley, then the offer was pulled when he failed to get himself eligible. Tennessee and Bruce Pearl took a chance and gave him a scholarship and enrolled, but our staff was right, he was ineligible - so he wasted a whole year at Tennessee then transferred to Pensacola State College (juco).
He missed 8 games there for various reasons in 2009-2010, and averaged 10.5 ppg, 5 apg, and only 24% on 3-pt attempts.
But that's where the mystery starts....West still has NOT signed but had reportedly verballed to Rhode Island.

But this article says even though Rhode Island is interested, they are already one over the scholarship limit, so TWO players would have to get their scholarships Janked before they'd be able to offer one to West.

Now we are a month later - and still no word nor confirmation anywhere of Daniel West - so it might even be doubtful that he's going to Rhode Island....and the talk in an 8-page thread on the Rams' message board expresses some doubt over academics.
His old AAU coach's tweet says he will be a star in the A-10 and that he still has 3 years left...both are very doubtful statements.


Ex-Saluki Nick Evans who got booted by Chris Lowery after lots of problems, is still having both legal and academic problems trying to get transferred to D-II Southern Indiana!
