Just came across this can anyone tell us if it's legit or writer meant Iowa?
@RyanJamesMN: Tomorrow 9/17/15 Champlin Park 2017 standouts unrated PG McKinley Wright and 4 star PF Theo John will work out for the Iowa State coaches @Theojohn123 @Ballislife_025 I know Iowa is looking at Theo

FrannyPants met with Theo today, also per Ryan James on the twitter.

You guys are both right. It's extra hard at ISU. Fred could have been an amazing recruiter I think, but decided not to prioritize HS recruiting from a staff experience standpoint, and couldn't commit long enough to ISU/recruits long enough to shake the uncertainty of going to the NBA (which turned out to be a totally legit concern for recruits).
I agree with you a hundred percent and if Prohm has success, he then will be the other side of ISUs coin when it comes to long term success and one hell of a recruiter. Look at the guys he is looking into in 2017 2018. So enjoy the ride it might be along/joyful one.

Don't want to derail this thread, but what's up w/ Indiana making final cuts for top talent in 2016? Just seems like Crean is a mess and may not be there long-term. Most surprised by IU making Bridges final 3.............what?

Crean has always been a good recruiter. He's just an awful coach.

Maybe he knows that Jeff Grayer will be their next coach.

It's Indiana. It's like the home of CBB. Basketball blue-bloodetry seems to be 4 LYF unlike football blue-bloodetry.

It is weird that after 4 straight NCAA appearances and two straight Big 12 Tourney champs and a team that is preseason top 10 that it seems difficult to get high ranked kids to come when other places that haven't had as much success lately can. The one positive is that Prohm and TJ seem like they work their butts off recruiting so I think eventually thr recruiting will pick up.
Fred was the big draw. He had been a pro and in the front office. These talented kids are playing for the pros, not college..

New Minnesota Target.

@RyanJamesMN: Iowa State's Steve Prohm was also at Champlin Park to see Theo John today (@Theojohn123). They want to see him in game action in December

We're starting to get a better idea of our 2017 targets

I understand, but what about last year’s men’s NCAA Sweet 16 coaches? To my knowledge, neither Roy Williams, Mick Cronin, Scott Drew, Buzz Williams or Crean ever even played Division I Men's Basketball, let alone in the NBA. Being an outstanding coach has very little to do with personal achievement as a player in Division I or the NBA for that matter!
