5 seed - Bracketology

Ames, Iowa is Ames, Iowa. I don't know how many of the top national recruits BF even gets an interest from.

Getting them to visit an ISU game against a Texas or Baylor, and see the crowd, should make it easier.

I also think girls evaluate schools different than boys, and that ISU would have more appeal for girls than boys. Safer campus than a big city campus. Some really great academic programs, etc.

BF getting more national exposure on the national coaching circuit will be nothing but beneficial.

The hard part for us as WBB fans, is WBB recruiting is much much harder to follow than men's, but it is getting better.

BF has talked about the winters being a challenge to get girls from good climates here and sometimes they don't even try to recruit girls from warmer climates. It also makes it harder because they have to be following recruits from basically 14-15 years old. Though BF has picked up a few - Rockall, Lacey, Williams, that have been later than usual.

As AAU ball grows, it might make it easier to spot talent.

It doesn't help that the last few years we have lost recruits to Kansas State.

That's the key with all the recruiting at ISU inless they are from the region the toughest thing for the coach even when they are sucessful is getting players to visit here
