I wonder if this means we are getting little interest from some of our better HS post prospects like Phillip Nolan? I would love to have him, or Cinmeon Bowers from Wisc. We also have an offer out to Anthony Bennet, but he is positioning himself as one of the 10 best players in this class, and I don't think we have the relationship that TJ had with Brackins to pull a kid like this.
Looks like our primary adversary will be Lon Kruger. He will be in the running for a lot of good JUCOs if he recruits the way he did at UNLV.
hmmmm...wonder if ISU is just taking a flyer on him just in case we lose a front court player to the draft.
If Bell is going to wait until after the season to decide and if White or another post player leaves the program, then ISU will likely really put the pressure on him to sign. Maybe they are already if the staff thinks White won't play a 2nd season at ISU or if Railey's long-term status is still shaky.
Given Bell's prior issues at Lower Columbia College, it also would be good for ISU to observe how he handles coaching at MCC. If he doesn't, they can back off him.

I'll be as stunned as I've ever been if White leaves early.
