From conversations on social media. Now, do I really care about that? Not really, no. The problem I see is that this starts to creep into future recruits' heads. For me, it all boils down to what's best for ISU. A successful Nebraska program that's going to play the same style of basketball and is going to go after (likely) a lot of the same kids, is bad for ISU. The quicker this story fades, the better it is for ISU.
Hoiberg to Huskers

Yeah, if Nebraska starts competing and winning recruiting battles with ISU it would definitely not be good.
To many, it’s more important that Fred is successful.
He’s now the coach at Nebraska. Let’s see how everything pans out. But there is no way this is a positive for Iowa State.
It can be a net neutral thing, but there is no way this can be positive for us
It has been interesting talking with some of the Hokfans at work. When there was some initial smoke to this story, they were bringing it up to me - hoping I'd be really upset (I wasn't - it is what it is). Now that this has become a reality, I have tried talking to these same folks about the Hoiberg hire & they don't want to talk about it. My guess is that the reality of the hire has finally sunken in. They remember how Hoiberg basically "owned" the Hoks during his time at ISU & now they will have to deal with him 2x a year in their own conference. They were a couple heroic "last-second" shots from NOT making the Tourney this year & now they will likely be facing an improved kNU squad going forward. If Fred repeats what he did at ISU, that does not bode well for Hok basketball (& I will fully admit that it may negatively impact us, too).
Judging by the reaction from one of the polishers, I’m not far off
I just want him to reach his dream. And if he nabs a couple ISU recruits...well, that's just part of the dream.
Jesus ******* Christ, they don’t send Murphy to anything. He doesn’t go to the big 12 or big 10 tournaments. But he goes to the god damned Nebraska press conference.
Really glad I don't live in western Iowa. TV and Omaha World Herald were always trying to brainwash us with "Go Big Red". I can't imagine what the media frenzy with local TV, radio and newspaper is the past couple of weeks. Folks are probably saying that they "stole" Fred from ISU.
Probably need to start a new forum "Neighbor State Rivals".

Fred just said he wants this to be his last stop. Puke.
Should’ve brought him back when we could’ve..
Oh he said that about us too. I wouldn’t trust that statement at all.
But that’s weird, right? He’s their anchor and he doesn’t travel for anyone but the Nebraska coach?
Just so we're clear that was what I pictured jsb looking like when I read that post.
