    Nebbie will probably move up with greene committing
    I don't do signatures. Blondes, brunettes, and red heads are a different story.

    As Cyclones we need to start expecting more out of ourselves and instill some confidence in our program. If he committed to us he definitely would retain a 5* rating. Who wouldn't want to play for a coach like CPR? We CAN compete with any program in the country. We just knocked off a program that played in the National Championship last year and a great Nebraska team last year. If we continue to set our own expectations low we'll never be able to compete. Let's start raising our expectations Cyclone fans. If our own fan base questions are confidence so will potential recruits. Let's pack the Jack this weekend!

    He means the rating services would drop him for picking us, ie the offers/accepts make the stars, not the evaluated talent...

    Looks like KU is also outrecruiting MU and us.
    What I can't figure out is why is Indiana ahead of ISU. Who would want to go and play at Indiana?

    Their record over the past five years is pretty close to ours. The distinct advantages they have are:

    Location - sandwiched between Ohio and Illinois with Indianapolis less than an hour away. Probably 10x the number of D1 prospects within 250 miles of Bloomington, IN as there are within 250 miles of Ames, IA.

    Money - equal revenue sharing in the BigTen plus the BigTen network means lots of money to spend on the football program.

    Conference - the BigTen is one of the best athletic conferences in the nation and treats its members well regardless of how good they are in football. The Big12 almost collapsed this year and caters to its football powers.

    Tuberville will be fired if he can't get a top 50 recruiting class in the state of Texas and KU can get one in Kansas.
    Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.

    If Kansas keeps most of there players I will be shocked.
    The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

    Thanks for your response, and I get that.

    I guess I should have clarified that if Rhoads and the Indiana coach are recruiting the same player, I think can't imagine a player taking an Indiana scholarship.

    No disrespect to the Indiana coach intended, but Rhoads is pretty dynamic. Now if Hoeppner (rest his soul) were still the coach, that would be an interesting battle to see who could get the recruit.
