These people are dumb, we lost to one team that we shouldn't have (in the second game of the season). I'm not sure some fans understand how down this program has been for a while now (sure not Iowa down, but still basement of the Big 12 down), Hoiberg's doing all he can to try to turn it around. Turning the corner may require some time.

He's taking an unofficial visit... He must have a modicum of interest in us.

Anyone have a twitter for this guy?

Not sure if you're serious...

You realize when a player takes an unofficial, it's on his dime. Hotel, airfare, etc.

I didn't realize it was unoffical. I look forward to seeing him tonight and getting him to come to isu

I don't think "official" visits can be taken until the player's senior year (August maybe?).

that rule was just changed. you can take official visits starting january of junior year. hopefully some of our 2013 studs make it in for a b12 game at hilton, but that might be tough given their own high school seasons.

Just confirming that Washington did make it to Hilton tonight.

**ISUFB** · 12-21-2011, 06:57 PM

probably not the best night to come...but oh well.

**madcityCY** · 12-21-2011, 06:59 PM

Anybody confirm a sighting of a 6'-9" 16 or 17 yr old lefty?

If you're still talking Kyle Washington, then yes, Randy Peterson has actually had a couple photos of him at the game. His dad and younger brother have joined him for the game...

Yeah - I saw them. Actually saw Chris' post right after I posted. Not sure how I missed it.

He was down there sitting by Sledge, Lucious and Clyburn. I saw Jake Sullivan come down there and chat with them as well.

*Edit. Stinson was in the house too, not sure why the PA announcer didn't recognize him and Jake in the crowd like they did with Brackins a few games back.
