Here's a good recruiting article off of gocyclones.com.
BTW does anyone know what 2009 Texas prospects they're looking at?

Id like to see Vanderbeeken here it would help out immensly. As for Reese he needs to make his own decision but I hope he becomes a cyclone.

I think he's doing radio for 930 in Shanandoah. I don't know why he doesn't still write the recruiting articles.

Good article

As bad as people ***** about AT, Id hate to hear em talk about Vanderbeeken's game. I dont want a player cause he's tall. Id rather have a 6'7" player that can move or play defense.

Teams can win without a tall player. Look at Memphis, Tenn. great guard play, decent sized big men.

**CyTom** · 03-21-2008, 03:04 PM

Memphis big guys might be shorter, but they are tremendous athletes.

And they are incredibly strong.

Davenport product L.A. Pomlee appears to have his heart set on playing for Wisconsin, but the Badgers are worried about his academic standing. Pomlee is a 6-foot-8 power forward who also has received an offer from West Virginia, but will pass on the Mountaineers since they've already signed two power forwards. ISU may be waiting to see how long Wisconsin keeps Pomlee, who led Davenport Central to the Class 4A state championship game, waiting.

Nothing like being the fallback option. sheesh.

If we find a capable big guy I think we would sign him without waiting for Pomlee to wait for Wisconsin. Besides, if they're worried about his academics, why wouldn't we have the same concerns?

That was my reaction when I read the article. It just seems like ISU is everybody's bridesmade.

Geeze; who does he think he is?

"He met the NCAA's academic requirements to play Division I basketball next season, but is considering gambling another year at junior college in hopes of securing more prominent offers next year".

If Mac thinks VanderBeken can play in the Big 12, that's good enough for me.

Look at Memphis, Tenn. great guard play, decent sized big men.

Oh yeah, and one f those big men is a former Cyclone.

It's odd that Pomlee eliminated WVU because they have two power forwards signed, and likes Wisconsin when they have Leuer and Nankivil as frosh this year, then add Berggren and Markolf on the low post this year.

I would suspect that ISU is waiting on his grades as much as UW. Amazing how a kid is a prospect since he's a freshman, and still has grade issues when he's a second semester senior. Don't people tell these kids anything?

So he hopes to go to Duke or UNC. If he wants to blow another year at juco, more power to him.

Frankly, while she didn't talk much about him, I like Butler slightly better anyway. More all around skills.

A good friend of mine went to the state tournament. He ran into two recruiters, and one was from Purdue. He stated that Pomlee to Wisconsin is a done deal if he is eligible. Purdue was there watching Kaylon Williams.
