Craig Brackens is starting to bleed cardinal and gold and he is not even here yet. Hopefully Brackens can sell the other two.

I also think now might be a good time to bring in Negadu.

Now we need the fans to show up not just in number, but be loud. Create a great game day atmosphere. Leave the boo's at home. Show how much we support ISU teams. Even if your ****** at Mac or crew remember...the future of our basketball program will be listening.....

God Bless Craig Brackins. Honestly, I love this kid already. Make it happen buddy, get some good teammates for yourself, and let's see this happen.

Wow, I love this guy! He must be mature beyond his years, or our coaching staff really understands how to sell a program...or BOTH! Oh I can't wait for basketball, bring on my ESPN full court package!

I think this just solidified that Stinnet and McFarland will commit to ISU. Brackins being present and already committed will make it difficult to say no. How great will it be to have 3 guys that have all played together before all playing for ISU? It has to be a huge advantage.

Brackins is going to visit with his teammates and now he's God? What's the big deal? I'm sure it was the staff's idea and a no-brainer at that. It's a great idea, and will probably work, but it's pretty standard strategy.

Cydkar,

We just got beat by Iowa in Football. We play the defending National Champs in football. Brackins comming to visit is great. Let us feel good about something.

Isn't Walker going to Brewster as well? or am I imagining that? also I hope we get all 3!

**tim_redd** · 09-21-2006, 01:27 PM

Isn't Walker coming in that week too?
Could be friggin' huge...

**timc243** · 09-21-2006, 02:40 PM

I didn't think we had enough scholarships for all 3.

**BryceC** · 09-21-2006, 02:43 PM

We don't, but we've been told that "they'll make it work" whatever that means.

**Wesley** · 09-21-2006, 02:49 PM

To sew up the class so early means more time allotted to team development.

**LakeHavasu** · 09-21-2006, 05:23 PM

My guess on the scholy questions (absolutely no inside info)...

When Alex Thompson was transfering, there was some talk about he comming without a scholarship (ie. walking on). He is on scholarship now, but maybe there was an agreement with Alex & family if ISU needed the scholarship in a year or two that Alex would give his up.

Again, I don't know if that is true or false, but it is a possibility.
