RECRUITING INSIDER: What I know about Iowa State’s top targets

Some people just aren't happy unless the sky is falling.
I wish they'd stick to religion and politics and leave college sports alone.

He said a variation of the same thing to two different questions but this is what I used in this story.
“Playing close to home is something special, but it’s not going to be the reason why I choose a school over another,” Grill said. “(The deciding factors will be) just how I fit in with the team, how much I’m going to get to play pretty soon and just the relationships with the coaches. That’s probably the top three.”
The doom and gloom attitude from some posters on this board gets pretty old. Does Prohm have an uphill climb? Yeah, of course. But there's no reason to write it off and think the sky is currently falling before the chips even fall. Lot of minutes are leaving, to not think that isn't an incentive Prohm is laying out there for recruits is crazy. Let the man do his job before you burn him at the stakes.
Shameless plug for a story you wrote? Do not want.
You're the best Stanz! Now go get that tattoo!
Yo @ChrisMWilliams call your birdies on Kerry Blackshear from Virginia Tech.
Huh, color me shocked. You mean, things to build on a visit? Say it ain't so! Like I said, some people like to count their chickens before they hatch. He's got visits lined up. What more do you expect? A commitment before they visit?
Stanz my post isn't directed at you, I assume you can pick that up.
Grill specifically said that the fact Kansas State is in Kansas will not be a deciding factor. And Ames isn't really that far away. If he just wanted to play close to home he wouldn't have committed to SDSU or be considering UNLV.
Yet, I am guessing if he likes both Universities and K State is closer. Might as well go with that. WE shall see.
Really? You think he is just going to choose KSU because it is closer to his home than ISU? Come on.
No need to be all doom and gloom before kids have even visited and made decisions.
It is insane. We have 3 open spots, 4 confirmed visits, including some highly sought after guys. What exactly am I missing?
I get being patient. I'm OK with letting things play out and seeing how the roster looks in late May. Like you said, there's so many moving parts that it's impossible to know who's going to end up where.
But if Prohm can't land an impact grad transfer then we'll be pinning an awful lot of hope solely on returners making huge developmental leaps and unproven freshmen being Big 12-ready. How competitive the 19-20 team can be will depend heavily on what happens in the next few weeks.
That is funny, because I am pretty sure the Cave has maybe 5x the posts that the actual sports boards do on here.
More like some read partly sunny/cloudy posts, and then meltdown thinking they’ve read a prognostication of a Class 5 hurricane. Like religion or politics, the herd wants to be outraged and offended.
