I know nothing, but I think you can safely go back at least another 25 years. I also look at some of the players that Prohm got and wonder who on the staff was maybe playing the game behind his back.

People think that mentioning these things is slinging mud, but in reality it's just knowing how high major college basketball recruiting works. I have literally zero problem with playing that game and to be clear, nothing I heard from that time period even made me blink. All pretty tame stuff and basically what you would expect. At least one player I heard about had like his friends set up in an apartment in town or whatever. I'm not gonna lose sleep or even think negatively about that.

Didn't his recruiting classes rank very high historically?
1 of them did. I don’t know the story behind Larry’s recruiting or Orr’s recruiting but every head coach since Tim Floyd at Iowa State has bent the rules in their favor except for Prohm.
IDK I always thought Steve’s recruiting was good enough, he was just a bad coach.
When he hit he really hit, but when he missed they usually transferred after a year or maybe two of little to no production.
This. He needed a few role players. Or he needed Halliburton not to be quite as good as he was.
This is crap. Everyone bends the rules. Nobody did anything every single other program didn't do. Total crap.
Do you think we got Tucker and Wiggington for free?
Don’t know why you’re attacking me but okay. I’m saying even ISU coaches bend the rules. Some of our fans want to think Fred was a Saint when he was here. He wasn’t.
We did. Or at least Prohm didn’t know about it. Prohm would specifically stop recruiting players if they asked for extra benefits. I know this for a fact.
I mean if we would have been paying THT he likely wouldn’t have left without being a sure draft pick.
He joined the staff with Fred in 2010. He was also at the Twolves prior to ISU.
Matt’s wife is a really nice person. I knew her earlier in life. She is an Iowa State grad. They have a couple kids together. I don’t know Matt at all. Hopefully, there isn’t anything going on with Nebraska recruiting hosts.
