Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Anyone think all these Fred radio spots are some kind of late publicity push to sway Vaughn? Just thinking out loud here

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

No joke. I don't even think RV is 100% certain. If he were, then why not announce Tuesday, or Wed, or any other day. There is nothing magical about Saturday except he has put a deadline upon himself.

I feel pretty confident that he knows exactly where he's going

How's this for optimistic thinking? RV is putting the brakes on the unfounded UNLV momentum over the last few hours. He reads the same stuff we do. Unfounded being the operative word. He appears to be contradicting common opinion right now. Which can't hurt ISU.

Yes. He knows where he's going, and my guess is he's very confident about his selection. Why else would he move up his announcement date?

Whoever it is, he must feel very good about it, and wants to end the process. Props to him for keeping everything close, and thoroughly evaluating his options.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

aww ****, he capitalized the N after a comma. U *N* LV, you can't tell me that's a coincidence.

Maybe the N is for #NotYourFathersIowaState

Burnham tweets it every time we get a big FB commit. After being the primary on Lazard, maybe Fred brought him out to be the closer for Vaughn. Anyone see if Shane has been drinking coffee lately? That would cinch it.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I love how he basically just gave the middle finger to everyone who's trying to predict where he's going. Can't even imagine the amount of tweets he's getting from people doing some last ditch recruiting efforts.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

The last thing I will say on this that makes me feel positive about his decision is that he dropped the UNC visit, and tweeted he was going to make his decision this weekend, early in the morning the day after ISU defeated Okie State in an exciting, well-played 3OT game which I am guessing he watched or at the very least saw the highlights from on SportsCenter.

Nothing happened with any of the other schools the day before his announcement. None of them even played. ISU played a superb game on national tv.

That makes me feel pretty good about this. That's all I got.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Go to UNLV, Make some Larry Johnson and Stacy Augman money, Play against Mighty Air Force and Boise State and a bunch of other crap colleges and for a crappy coach. Or... Go to Iowa state. Play in the best league in the country. Play for a top young coach with NBA ties near your family. Hmmm Tough decision. Then again. Not everyone is smart.

Why again are we insulting RV? Fred has spent years of his life recruiting and vetting this young man, and you think you know enough to personally attack him in your weak emotional state 48 hours before his announcement, or that it is wise to? Let's do Fred and the staff a favor and stop with this and (even worse) the unfounded Kaffery stuff.

Me too. I thought the keys (other than relationships continuing to be good) were:

Have a great official visit and great game when he did (check)

Have a great season last year and this year to prove that we are continuing the momentum Fred had (check)

The timing just seems to make sense for Iowa State. If he chooses someone else, it just wasn't going to happen.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Listen Rashad...I know some stuff. Maybe not where you are going to school... But I do know stuff about other things dammit!

How dare you contradict him this close to him committing! Don't listen to him Rashad. I know nothing. Ask my wife if you don't believe me.



Pretty sure I saved the day. You're welcome:jimlad:
