RECRUITING: Jeff Beverly to visit on May 3

[FinalFourCy]

Beverly has had some other school after him, it's not just ISU. He visited New Mexico, which is traditionally a basketball school with The Pit. Nevada and Miami both contacted him too and they were both tournament teams. So that's ISU, Miami, New Mexico, and Nevada. That's a good group of schools.

Beverly want to be Burton essentially.

Did he visit NM? Contacted isn't the same as recruiting imo.

In his own words about the programs recruiting him:
“I have a lot of mid-major schools who are recruiting me but I am really locked in on Iowa State"

Given the time of year, that's a very modest list.

So basically pencil in Beverly unless ISU decides they don't want him but it sounds like they do.

Jackson
Wigginton
Lewis
Babb
Young
With Mcneil, Long, Beverly, Lard and Kasongo off the bench.

Right now that is a likely NIT team.

How cute.

Yes, no one is worried in that sense. But doubt in making it 7 in a row? Yes. Of course you don't have control over that, so despite your post count you're probably completely apathetic about any upcoming seasons and games.

Right, that no sure thing angle. I hope your lottery investing works for you.

Oh no! You came at me with a post count blast!

Yep... what can I say 2200 posts over 7 years.... I mean we all can't blather to the point of 1200 posts in just over a month.

What we are going through this off season is coming a year later than expected thanks to Monte coming back. If you didn't see a rebuild coming in 17-18 its because you didn't want too and adding a JUCO player (with zero experience) wasn't going to change that.

SIAP............


I looked at his shooting stats (the ones Messi posted earlier in this thread) and saw .397% overall
and .232% from 3-pt range. I hope those are typos, or that's a bit concerning. But looking at his highlights, he looks like he has a smooth shooting stroke, and works hard under the basket. 250 pounds is a strong dude.

He rescheduled to visit Iowa State

I noticed that video said 6'6". Another recent print I read said 6'5". So I'm guessing he's 6'4", correct?

ISU is only scheduled visit right now but Nevada and Miami were both tournament teams.

That's my favorite line. Who in their right mind wouldn't prefer Iowa State over a bunch of mid-majors and light conversations with NCAA tourney teams. I'd be ecstatic to try and join Iowa State too if those were my options. I remain optimistic as we don't have many other choices and hopeful our offense would better suit him.

He looks like a Hogue/Burton hybrid. If he can at least gobble up rebounds, I'll be happy.

Yeah, you totally missed on that one. It's not a post count blast, it's your silliness in alluding to being apathetic despite clearly being otherwise.

Morris declaring last spring doesn't tangibly increase the chance next year is a tournament team. But if it makes you feel better about next year, by all means.

He's obviously coming here. Prohm is at the desperate stage with getting front court transfers so he will take whoever he can at this point. Disappointing because this guy has no business being in the Big 12

Link?

But are Nevada and Miami recruiting him? I'm not surprised a guy this late tells a reporter of everyone that has looked. It's not time to be picky, but we're beating mid-majors for him imo.

It's just so hard to tell from watching a highlight reel, but he doesn't have P5 quickness. He does know how to use his ass a la Niang. He looks like an undersized stretch 4. He gets to the line and makes his free throws, so that's a plus. You gotta give credit to a guy that goes from the UTSA football team to walking on the basketball team to a scholarship in the Big 12. He will help, but not sure how much. I don't see the Hogue or Bowie comparisons, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. He's a unique player.

I don't think people are comparing his game to Bowie. Just impact wise.

Based off a 3 minute highlight reel?

"Bad day for the 'Prohm CAN Recruit' crowd" thread on its way

There is nothing in his highlight film that remotely mimics either player. Not even close.

I wouldn't call it desperate or disappointing to take a flyer on Beverly. We have the scholarships available and he'll only use it for a year.

Did Holden live up to his expectations? No.
Did he hurt ISU this year? No.
Did he burn up a scholarship long term? No.
Did he help ISU here and there? Yes.

I see nothing about Beverly that makes me compare him to Hogue or Burton. Hogue and Burton were top notch athletes. I see more of a bad Niang.

He told CW last night he's hearing from Georgetown, St. Johns and New Mexico
