Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

To me it has the feel of something a jilted boyfriend/girlfriend would post on Facebook. "Oh, you don't want me? We'll I'm gonna let everyone know how great I am and how much fun I'm having without you!"

Ding ding ding. Winner.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

Branding. It's a lot harder for these guys to enter the league with a reputation of any sort without the exposure of big games and all.


Sure, the scouts know who he is, but the fans don't. Being on TV gets the name out there a lot better than being off of TV.




uhhh...huh?


Steph curry, Paul george, Damian lillard...I could go on and on......those guys seemed to have no problem....and that's not even considering all foreign players.


If you can play...anywhere in the world.....being on tv 10 more times a year than another player makes no difference.

This all about Vegas, Vegas and Vegas. I do wish the kid well regardless and ISU will be fine either way.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

I think he's in Vegas because it was a "this town's not big enough for the two of us" thing with T. Jones.

I watched a UNLV game the other night-they stink.

Here we are.
Impossible!! They are never on TV!!

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

It really would be better if all you posters just chill and let it happen. If he picks ISU, big celebration time, if not move on. I am sure Fred will find a great player to tak his place. I love the team we have next year even without Vaughn. With that said....
For the love of god stop stating the same **** over and over again.

Yeah, not sure how much longer people can debate the merits of the two schools. Every point has been covered ad-nauseum. Bottom line, both schools have their strong points, and no one besides Rashad knows which of those points is most important to him.

This thread feels like my marriage. No point in arguing..just give in and be unhappy with the outcome.

Helps who? Fans maybe.....but who cares. Scouts actually drafting know who these kids are.

Please tell me you are not under some impression that scouts will go "oh...rashad Vaughn? Ya no idea...was he on tv bc I didn't see him"....c'mon.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

Are you in grade school by chance? It's this garbage that makes this board borderline unreadable and ISU fans look like whiny punks. He or she has said nothing other than something you don't want to hear. Grow up.

I don't go for the I have a source BS.

We are being ask to trust a guy who was allegedly told something, presumably in confidence, and then ran straight to a message board and gives the "news". I don't think the staff is that stupid.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

@Jermcon: Told someone affiliated with the Pilots that I think Vaughn's going to UNLV and the replied, "I think you're 200% right." I like those odds.

This guy works with Ballislife

Does he have a new GF in Vegasland?

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

Gotta love that! He's right too. Not many better places to play in the country right now than for Fred Hoiberg in Hilton Coliseum. UNLV doesn't even come close.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

I think RV sent the "Nobody knows anything" tweet because if the cat is out of the bag about his committing to UNLV, that steals his thunder. And this kid is about bringing maximum attention to his announcement.

As to why he moved his decision back to Tuesday, why not. Let the limelight shine on him a little longer.

The RV ship has sailed. Time to move on Cyclone fans. Best of luck to RV, he's an awesome player.
