Nebraska and Texas A&M have been stealing recruits back and forth also - old NU coaches at A&M do not mind taking them back. Blaine Gabbbert left nebraska and went to missouri. Then Mizzou was bragging on Blaine. This was after Blaine talked 2-4 recruits to check oput Nebraka last fall. Funny.

Letting the opposing team put up 70 on you game in and game out?

When CF first started, I posted recruiting information occasionally but after a while learned that it wasn't in the school's best interest and thus quit posting any recruiting info about a year or so ago. I haven't looked back and haven't reconsidered because I think even though recruiting coverage is a lot of fun to some, it means nothing if it doesn't help ISU. We're all fans and sometimes each of us has to put what's best for the school ahead of what's best for our entertainment for a couple days. There are times when recruiting coverage is fine but there are times when it is the worst thing for a rebuilding program like ISU.

Schools do miss kids for one reason or another, and decide at the last moment to offer some of those misses. Heck Wes Johnson was a huge miss by Texas in Basketball.

Thought Wes had moved back to Detroit.

I'm sure that recruiting services and the internet have some impact on recruiting....but IMO the amount of it may be a little overblown. If coaches went by these than we would have offered the 3* Logan Pegram over the then not-rated Ethan Tuftee at summer camp. Schools know who guys like David Grant, DJ Marshall, Joe King, etc. are. In addition, I'm sure a lot of schools knew about Jared Edwards and Jordan are. We would have known about KO if he hadn't verbaled to UTEP.

The only way I see this hurting us in the classic undiscovered unrated prospect like a Hammerschmidt. So I assume some of the prospects were chasing now are these type of players.

Please confiirm. If you pay rivals for Nebraska info, you also have access to other schools info in rivals also. Therefore, you just peruse what is happening at the other schools and make a few calls. Barney Farrar appears to have left at a bad time. True?

If rivals.com is like scout.com - if you have a premium membership you can read all premium articles. However, you can only post on the premium board for the team you bought the premium membership through.

That's how scout.com worked - I assume rivals.com was the same or at least very similar.

You can read all of the premium articles, but can't post/read the premium boards of other schools. All of the articles about all recruits (even completely unrelated to your school) are open.

He played his HS ball in Texas and his parents are still there. When his prep school closed he went to Detroit to live with his brother. I think that is how the story goes.

Lots of people are gonna be disappointed on signing day





oook, i just said that because there is some quite good optimism around Iowa State and Feb. 6th so I felt I would even the energy out. In truth, i am a lil discouraged from the decommits we've had, but I am not afraid at all in Chizik & co's ability to sign some talent a week from now. It should be a HELLA fun day on Cyclonefanatic Feb 6th. and YES, I said hella.

Are you from Sacramento? I have a friend from there, and spend plenty of time there for work, and they use "hella" like the rest of the country uses "really".

It's hella weird. :wink:

i got sacramento friends who use it all the time too. that is hella weird.

I apologize if this has been brought up before, but for everyone hitting the panic button on the commit decommit situation - have you ever thought that in years gone by the number of decommits has been so fewer because we were going after guys no one else wnats?

I like the fact that some schools are trying hard enough to steal a few from us, it means we are getting a better class of kids overall in my opinion.

Check out the 7 commits in 7 days thread. This is being discussed in context right now.

I'd rather keep those kids though because who are we bringing in to replace them? Probably someone that no one else wanted...
