Just an outsider looking at the situation... If the whole coaching staff goes to Rashad Vaughn's game isn't that a serious clue that we are more than likely going to capture his pledge??

I think it's desperation really. They didn't land any of their first choice HS picks and they really want this guy committed. So, no it doesn't mean we have him locked up. But goddamn it would be nice if we could.

You need an avatar makeover/changeout.

I don't think it's desperation. I think they would of done this even if they were still after all their other top priorities. They might smell blood in the water and now they're trying to make even more ground on him.

Agree. And very well put!

I don't think it means that our staff knows we're going to get him. Vaughn is just a guy that the whole staff wants to come here and is going all in on. While we've obviously shown the most interest with Vaughn, it doesn't make him ours to lose. Losing three recruiting projects this past week was a blessing because it allows our entire staff to show some love for Vaughn. Really hope all this effort pays off with Wild Thing Vaughn, but it's hard to say no to a sexy school like Kentucky or Kansas. They know they don't have to try as hard as a school like Iowa State. Kentucky and Kansas remind me of the kids in high school with a lot of daddy's money and a nice car and don't even need to try but always get the hottest women.

hey let's not mess up the facts and make baylor look even better - they've "only" been to two elite eights. both times winning against 14, 11, and 10 seeds - talk about a nice draw!

Woops, my bad! I know they had a fairly easy path to those Elite 8s, but it doesn't matter -- they can still sell it just the same to recruits.

If Louisville gets these top rated big men to commit does anyone think Johnson will reopen his recruitment? Or is he locked in?

Not really expecting this as a possibility but kinda curious..

So other than Vaughn, who are guys in the 2014 class that we still have a good shot at? I don't feel like reading through all the pages in this thread
