Are we still recruiting Daniel dingle?

I don't believe so.

Okoro is the top target IMO. I bet we get him. Not sold that the Arizona and Pitt want him as there first choice while Iowa State is making him known he is wanted by us.

The top prospect to watch from here on out is likely St. Raymond (N.Y.) shooting guard Nkereuwem Okoro. Iowa State assistant coach Matt Abdelmassih has been ruthlessly recruiting Okoro since getting the job last month.

Is it just me or does ruthlessly seem like a bad word choice? I think I might have used something like relentlessly instead.

Yeah, Chris probably spelled relentlessly wrog and spellchecker switched it over on him.

[ChrisMWilliams]

Probably a good call. I changed the wording.

Have you seen Matt Abdelmassih?? Ruthless describes what he does well. #shark

As "ruthless" means "without pity or compassion; merciless," I don't mind the use of the word if it pertains to other recruiters going after our guy. A bit harsh, perhaps, but more likely closer to the truth re: what actually happens in recruiting.

What about Elgin Cook? I know he's going to a prep school next year, but is he still on ISU's radar for the 2012 class?

[CloneState1028]

Unless I am interpreting your chart incorrectly, I think you mixed up Tavon Sledge's position with Anthony Booker's. It looks like you said Booker is a guard while Sledge is a forward, which is opposite of what is the case.

[Psiclone]

What about Elgin Cook? I know he's going to a prep school next year, but is he still on ISU's radar for the 2012 class?

I was wondering the same thing. I would think we have a leg up on recruiting him since he already committed to us once. I would hate for him to blow up and end up playing for Texas, Baylor, etc.

[Wesley]

Elgin would be like a fine watch. Hope he comnes our way again.

Or by redshirting here, depending on how you look at it.
