Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday
Why would he want to go to this?
UNLV Men's College Basketball - Rebels News, Scores, Videos - College Basketball - ESPN
145th best offense in the country, 6-3 in the MWC, lost to the Air Force Academy and University of Nevada-Reno
If you want to go to Ft. Collins and Boise to play basketball, be my guest...
Wouldn't you rather play for a former NBA guard with wide respect around the league in a team that's going to contend for the Big 12 each of your one/two years? Wouldn't you rather play in Austin, Lawrence, and Ames half of the time, best of all?

And 0 national exposure. Other than Arizona and UCLA, none of the teams in the west get any press or primetime games.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday
That is a bit harsh. He does have a good relationship with their recruits and probably likes he is already been in Vegas for a year. That said, it would not be about on court basketball or getting better.
Yep, and it has me somewhat concerned. That and Matt joking he is going to church for the next 4 days.
Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday
I think he wanted to see ISU prove themselves this year and see that we have the talent to compete with him on the team next season. After watching us closely and seeing last night's game he sees that we have the talent, the coach, and the national exposure he is looking for. No more time was needed and bam he announces his plans to commit (to the good guys) over the weekend after a big time W.
That's my perspective on the situation

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday
Who really knows what exactly he is thinking. It's really hard to be objective because 95% of us would be fulfilling a dream to commit to the Cyclones .
The timing gives me hope. Just took down a ranked team at their place on Big Monday. Having a hell of a season . There is nothing basketball-wise that he could want that couldn't happen for him at ISU.
If he chooses someone else , then so be it, our program is on a great footing.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday
why do you 'like' that quote? Sounds as if they're giving him the okay and trust to pick UNC. Then, he goes in and is the hero at the game on his visit.

There's this:
Jeff Borzello @jeffborzello
As of now, yes. RT @ericmorley09: You sticking with Rashad Vaughn to Iowa State?
Borzello is with CBS Sports, covering college basketball.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday
So he's going to be a hero on the visit that he's already cancelled? Maybe he'll be there via Skype, and put him up on the scoreboard during the game.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday
I would like to see some sort of stat that has pre-season projected finishes and then actual finishes. Like this year - we were predicted to finish pretty bad and now look at us. I think that says something about the coach actually developing talent. UNC is not doing that - they seem to play to or below their predicted talent level. Bill Self is good, but look at their preseason ranking - they were SUPPOSED to be good. If RV doesn't choose ISU then he just doesn't get it.

In 3 days you may be "Wildly" aroused if all of this comes true.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday
UNLV has a great recruiting pitch for him: "Did you see who was the #1 pitch last year? Imagine what we could do for you."
