I don't think a lot of transfers and spring JUCOs have committed yet. So its not like we have lost out on any guys yet. Biggest loss is Egor not visiting.
Since there are a bajillion threads going on i'll post this here too....

I know it really doesn't matter now, but just humor me....who thinks Egor picks OU and who thinks he picks Florida? Obvious pick is OU with the second Kruger visit and former Rice staffer at OU now. However Florida could have knocked his socks off and sees more playing time.

There was a general panic about this two days ago. Barnes is a local guy, ISU fan and friendly with the program. Nothing but a positive.
Exactly. It's not like Roy Williams was having Harrison call Juiston to poach him. There was a reason the call happened during his visit to Ames. I only saw it is a plus for us, espcially the fact that he thought it was cool enough to tweet about it (twice!)
thought that was funny as well. But hey, if a NBA player called me while on my OF, I would probably tweet at him as well hahaI found it funny that he forgot to tag Barnes in the first and then tweeted about it again and just kept the other as well
If we asked Harrison to do anything I bet it was Prohm who asked him to. It seems in the past year Prohm realized the basketball family that ISU has as far as alumni go. Now, I know Harrison didn't go to ISU, but he was a top prospect who had ISU in his top 5 solely out of respect. His mother and father were both associated with ISU, so I don't think there is anything but good things to say about ISU and Ames. I like the phone call, whether it was asked for by our staff or not, I don't think that could hurt at all.

Sodom could be a good late addition backup plan to Juiston / Brooks
Another opportunity to start the Memphis pipeline. We have to at least make contact, right?
Chandler is from Omaha, he didn't get a ton of attention but I've seen him a couple of times in person and came away impressed. Pretty sure other than this MVC offers were all he had. He's probably a bit too much of a project for us but he'll be a solid player in 2 or 3 years for someone, he would have been at New Mexico.
They had to fire Neal but that job has turned in to a total rebuild.

Bad couple of years lead to the writing on the wall Craig Neal going into a dead man walking year especially with the loss of Elijah Brown. Once Brown announced a couple other of their top guys saw the writing on the wall with a likely bad year coming and transferred out. The rash of defections lead to a late firing of Neal. At that point most the best coaches were already off the board and a couple actually declined the job. They ended up "settling" for the NM st coach who may work out but unknown. Now all the recruits are looking at options.
I saw him once, too. He's probably a little too slow and heavy-footed to play much at a Top 25 program, but he has some good size and strength. The Huskers should take another look at him since they have some openings, and probably won't have the same options as the Cyclones.
