With Sampson gone....

......maybe we can sneak in and snatch this kid. Sounds a little like Jared Homan.

Tom Pritchard • 6'8" • 240 • Westlake, Ohio/Lakewood St. Edward High School
Pritchard averaged 14 points, seven rebounds and two blocked shots a game as a junior, helping Lakewood St. Edward to a 25-1 record and an appearance in the state semifinal. Under Coach Eric Flannery, Pritchard, who hails from Westlake, Ohio, and St. Edward finished the 2006-07 season ranked 23rd in the USA TODAY Super 25 poll. Prior to a loss in the state semifinal game, St. Edward was ranked in the top ten for most of the season. He is the son of Beth and Dan Pritchard.

No chance, our staff doesnt make enough phone calls for his liking.

okay, this just annoys the crap out of me. why do people make all these random posts about players who we have no idea if they have even heard of ISU... just because sampson is gone and this kid is probably going somewhere other than indiana, doesnt mean that ISU is automatically at the top of the list. lets talk about players who are actually considering us! hows that sound?

Okay, I certainly don't want to annoy you, who do you want to speculate on?

Someone we're actively recruiting.

I don't remember actively recruiting Vette and he ended up at ISU because of coaching change, granted he didn't stay.

I just think it might be worth a shot to get our name out there.

How dare you speculate on a message board?

* sarcasm for the slow people on board*

**cmoore_23** · 02-24-2008, 02:00 PM

i dont know why ppl have to get so upset about things like this... who cares if we are not really on his list but its just somthing to see as a possibility.. to be honest no1 really "knows" what players have us on their list..

with that said..

it would be cool if Gmac is goin after this guy and would be a good get.. if hes not life moves on

From one of the all time funniest movies in history:
"settle down Francis"

Jeesh. The guy is simply having fun with the idea of recruiting.

Just curious, do you plan on interviewing every available player in the country just to see who's "actually considering us"? Mail out questionnaires? Read minds?

Of course, that might be a recruiting violation.

Those known to be actively considering us is a very short list. May as well toss out some for whom it would seem advantageous if they did.

**cyismydog** · 02-24-2008, 05:18 PM

Does anyone "in the know" know about anybody not already discussed for next year?

Has Pritchard said he wants out of his LOI? Sure it's a possibility with the coaching change- but until he makes the request to be released any speculation seems meaningless.

**Cyclone90** · 02-24-2008, 09:51 PM

I think Gordon wants to transfer to ISU too.

**clintr** · 02-25-2008, 01:29 PM

No chance we'll get him. Sampson is still calling him as I type. Trying to get him to some Euro league. j/k

On that note though, I believe the guy is still in communication with his former players at Indiana, which really stupid, so I doubt he'll leave recruits alone even now.

Yeah, it's weird.
