ISU has found Hoiberg's replacement.

According to Goodman, CBS and ESPN looks like Iowa State is hiring Steve Proehm from Murray State. He'll be very good for them. Driven, well spoken, well liked. Teams play an aggressive uptempo offense and gambling defense. I don't see it as his last stop.

Curious as to your "last stop" comment. It's a good school that produced one of the greatest presidents that Purdue has ever had during my lifetime. Believe it or not people thought Keady would move on from Purdue too when he was hired. Fortunately Pat loved WL and didn't want to leave.

Not a knock on the university. Just have been watching Proehm and everything about him says "I want to be at the highest level possible." Maybe because of family he'll stay and be happy but his wife is a southern girl and he has southern roots as well. In the end if it plays out the way I expect he'll be in the SEC or ACC. You never know how recruiting, injuries and luck play out but I believe he'll be very successful and might very easily move on in a few years.

You may be right but then again, he could be at ISU for a long time. Johnny Orr left Michigan to coach at ISU and was there quite a while. Hoiberg is going to the Pros which is a crapshoot for him. More money, better hours, but shorter leash.

I wouldn't mind if their junior starting PG Monte Morris decided to transfer and that Coach Painter and company made contact with him. Regardless of whether or not Morris would be immediately eligible in this scenario, Grant Weatherford could go to prep school for a year to gain more experience and that would clear up the scholarship situation for next season. The Boilers can use another guard that can create his own jump-shot or pass and score off their dribble and Morris can do that and then some.

Apparently assistant coach T.J. Otzelberger recruited most of the returnees (i.e. the guys they got straight out of HS) for Iowa State but not Morris. I don't know if Otzelberger is being kept on staff but I think it's even less likely that the assistant who recruited Morris will be.

Let's see Proehm coached a kid that is one of the hottest underclass guards in this years draft and has had decent success developing guards or jump to Purdue which has a recent history of poor success with guards. I doubt Morris leaves just because Proehm is the new HC.

We shall see.

Cameron Payne is the only particularly notable one I can think of playing under Steve Prohm. Isaiah Canaan was recruited by and played two years (I think) under Billy Kennedy (now the head coach at Texas A&M).
