Blaire Thomas verbals ISU WBB

Per Ames Trib: Women

More on her: Prep of the week: West's Thomas driven to succeed : High-school-sports

Have to like her work ethic; good to know she is working on her outside game because she may be a bit short for a 4.

She looks promising. Hope she can grow a couple of more inches before college.

I'm less than excited about this, mostly for non-basketball reasons I won't elaborate on. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see this working out.

If you don't care to "elaborate," I suggest you don't post.

It's great that Fennelly continues to go after some of the best players in the state, and that these players want to be Cyclones. As we know, it's never a sure thing. Some people said that ISU vb wouldn't be a good fit for Eckerman of West, who has done amazing things at Texas and seems to be fitting in just fine.

So welcome to ISU, Blaire! You have about 10,000 new fans.

Other offers where UNI, Iowa and Toldeo. Not exactly a whose who of wbb. Hope it works out.

poppens wasnt even recruited by naia schools... i dont care who recruits the girls we are recruiting

Given the high level of recruits we have been offering and getting Coach must see something. Work ethic will always be valued on this roster. Bludder doesn't recruit low level players either, and no one knows Iowa HS ball better than is, Iowa, and uni staff. Plus good posts are much harder to find. Hoping Jensen pans out.

She's also a fairly early verbal, which would also cut down on the number of offers. Had she waited until next summer, she might have more.

Was this a little dig at a recently departed ISU PG player and her family or am I too cynical?

Grades? Personality? A grudge made public?
Some posters do have information that is not to be made public and as such don't even hint at what they know. At this this point I don't know anything about anyone and I think the comment may be in that category.

I don't worry about recruits with our track record. Sure, it isn't always 100% perfect, but who could be?
