No chance.

This is the first I've heard about Matthews being a non-qualifier. Would explain a lot about his recruitment...

I never said I wanted Jok at center. I said that if I had to choose which one to give a scholarship to I am taking Jok. The reason I brought up Reader was because people were saying meh, he's not very good (about Jok) and all I was saying is Jok sounds way more exciting than Reader. Obviousy I would be alone if I wanted Jok at center but I never said that. Not even close to what I was trying to say.

You would not use it to lock up a guy with potential when you had a top 100 player who really wanted to be there. You would take the chance on the top 100 guy. I doubt there was real interest from Matthews in Frans over the top style. If he qualifies he will be putting the ball on the floor for a real contender after this year.

Please tell me the D1 program you work for. I'm excited to get this inside info.

He isn't a big-wig, then. I'd know him.

If only we had a forum for say...Instate Rivals. Sigh.

**State43** · 09-20-2012, 08:23 PM

I'll be honest, I am more happy they got Jok than EC Mathews...

Gee, you did not say that?

The point was great two-guard does not fill the need for a post. And Jok is not a great two-guard.

My wife usually judges teams by their looks. I assume nwia's husband is more like us.

Man, Fran sure does have that Iowa pipeline locked down.

Hope this a joke. The only reason Fran gets the Iowa kids is because Freddy is out getting better players from different states. Iowa isn't really a big basketball state. Only a few great players come around Iowa every 10 years.

This couldn't be more wrong. Fred was recruiting Woodbury until he realized he had no chance with him. In the past couple years, Iowa has had Barnes, Paige, Woodbury, and Gessel (technically Nebraska, but plays AAU in Iowa) as 4* or 5* players. A team with those four guys (plus McDermott, Oglesby, and others I'm forgetting) would compete in any conference in the country and likely be a top 4-5 seed.
