Not Ready To Throw Out Prohm - Just Yet.

I know it is sacrilege to say anything negative about Fred Hoiberg. I've been told I'm occasionally negative when it comes to the Cyclones.   I believe that I try to come with an objective view.  Fred is the Mayor and more beloved than Johnny Orr.  I was as hurt as any Cardinal and Gold loving cyclone Fan when Fred left.  Fred was a good coach and re-energized the program.   But let's not forget Fred cut his teeth on coaching with the Cyclones.  Fred never got passed the Sweet 16, and had another embarrassing first round exit last year in the big dance.  So, let's take a closer look at some numbers.   I didn't do this research but some enterprising soul has on our behalf.   The numbers show that we are better than we have been in the past 2 years.

Steve Prohm's legacy will be cemented in the post season and in the next couple years.   It isn't time to throw him out just yet.  We'll see how he does with recruiting.   We aren't deep or tall (who's to blame for the that), so I'm not expecting a deep run - but would gladly take a Sweet 16 finish this year.
