Not yet. He's only a sophomore. Also, you have to think Coach Cal goes after every top 10 recruit. He has plenty of time to get in the game, especially when you consider his track record of point guards.

Back on topic, I don't think we have that much of a chance... but you never know. 2014 is a long time away.

Heard he was an Iowa lean.

He's been known up here since he was in 7th grade. He started for Apple Valley (my high school) since he was in 8th grade. He's had Coach K, Tubby, Izzo, and others seeing him in person since 8th grade as well. Guys big time.

He'll be tough to get. Tubby has a big advantage right now, but you know Fred has spoken to him many times.

He's got a great family, his father talks to PA on KFAN up here often. Good guy.

If we finish out this year strong, and have the type of year we could next year, I wouldn't rule anything out

A lot of time left in his recruitment, so anything is still possible, but nearly every other game you have someone from Minnesota, Michigan State or Duke there. In fact, I haven't heard about Iowa State even watching him much at all this season... We may keep in contact here and there, but we certainly aren't one of the teams that is recruiting him hard.

His mom is dating ex-Iowa player Duez Henderson. Not that that will play a factor.

Hey, don't know how things work over there in Hawkeye land, but we don't make fun of kids with physical deformaties over here......

If he has one leg shorter than the other, he may fit right in with the rest of that community college team in Iowa City, but still no reason to make fun of him.

We don't make fun of them, we accept them. Duh. Racist.

Wait. How in any way was that involving a race? Racism is a form of discrimination, which I think is what you were going for, but there was no mention of race.

Either that or you were being ridiculous for the sake of being ridiculous... but racism isn't really cool to make fun of regardless.

I bet he goes to UNC...played for same AAU as Barnes so it makes sense and heard they are good friends.

I was going over the top for the sake of going over the top. And it was so cool.

LOL, the saddest part of this isn't that you couldn't understand he wasn't serious....it's the fact that you were.
