Dustin Hogue commits

[nallen34]

I've heard that we are no longer pursuing him. Because of the Hogue commit, I presume. I think the focus is on bigs but the pickings may be slim.

Or I could be wrong...always an option. :)

You have heard from who? Unless it's a reliable source that knows this is a fact don't say it. If it is a reliable source that knows then say who it is please.

[nallen34]

We won't be bringing in Jones. He has too much baggage and we've moved on.

Says who. A reliable source that knows?

Clever. Edit: Just to be nice, I'll point out that I really appreciate when people insult me--then make it impossible for me to respond or defend myself. (do I really need a jimlad?)


Where have you seen Fred saying that he is crossing them off his list? Link, please? All that I have seen here is speculation and unsubstantiated rumors.

I'm sure you can do better than that. I'm interested.

Aclone, asclone, asclown, ********. YOU KNOW why Fred hasn't said he's crossed them off his list.

I'll say what I want and you can do what you want with it. I clearly said I've heard. I don't care if you believe it and I don't care if it's incorrect. I didn't state it as a fact.

It's recruiting. I trust who I heard from but I also know that a week later things could change 180°.

All this arguing is stupid. I didn't hear it from Fred so there's a distinct possibility that it's incorrect or dated information but I'm pretty sure that nobody on this board hears from Fred. If people are looking for facts they may be looking in the wrong place.

Asking for sources is laughable. Nobody is going to out a source unless it's from twitter or printed/internet story.

Agreed. I get a kick out of those demanding proof. If posters only stated things with links or quotes, this would be a pretty boring place, with like 5 posts per day.

Hell, even Fred/Corn/Otz/Matt A themselves don't always have facts to go off. They only know what they hear from the kids and their coaches and a gut feel. Obviously these kids can change day by day, so nothing is set in concrete.

Yeah, proven facts would be such a buzzkill. Anyone heard if we are still on Jabari Parker? I heard he was visiting tomorrow.

Also who said we aren't recruting Maurice Jones anymore. Site your source only if it's a good reliable source. Otherwise there is no point

It cite, not site. Who is your good, reliable source that ISU is recruiting Maurice Jones?

I've heard that we are.

Exactly. It was nothing more than speculation that we were recruiting him to begin.

Sherron Dorsey-Walker was talking to Maurice Jones on Twitter about possibly playing at Iowa State. That is more of a source than saying "I have heard we aren't recruiting this guy anymore" and not stating from who.

He also is from Saginaw, Michigan which a third of our players are from Michigan. Also if Bubu is not on the team anymore we will have a Sophomore PG with little experience and a freshman PG with no experience for the 2013-14 season. It would make sense for Maurice Jones to come to Iowa State considering all those things.

Vince Hunter is also from Michigan and like i said we need another forward for the 2013-14 season. Then Ejim graduates which means we will need another 4/3 player for the 2014-15 season and after. So why would Vince Hunter no longer be on our radar? Makes zero sense considering we still have 2-3 more scholarships to fill for the 2013 class.

"Possibly Playing" is not the same as "recruiting", so don't be critical of others suggesting Jones was/is not being actively recruited by Fred and the staff.

OK

[Aclone]

Aclone, asclone, asclown, ********. YOU KNOW why Fred hasn't said he's crossed them off his list.

Way to stay classy, bro.

Yes, after all, it would be completely impossible for Fred to say, "Oh, with the commits we have, I'm no longer recruiting wing forwards".

Or, for Hunter to say, "No, Iowa State is not longer recruiting me."

Of course, a thirrd possibility for a lack of such documentation is that it simply is speculation, and not true.

Come to think of it, just the same as the post that definitively stated that we're not after the kid that CW just posted will be visiting.

"Possibly oPlaying" is not the same as "recruiting", so don't be critical of others suggesting Oneself was/is not being actively recruited by Fred and the staff.

Looks like we "posibly" have jones on campus. We must not be interested
