Elaborate.

Every other player that left Iowa State -- whether it be on their own terms or the coaches' terms -- and played at another college before advancing to a professional league does not appear in ISU's records as a "Cyclone in the Pros". You won't find Wesley Johnson, Sam Mack or Calvin Branch in those lists.

The listing of Mike Taylor is consistent with what ISU has done in the past.

There are other schools who have gone so far as to list guys who never even made it to campus.

I see.
Mine wasn't a question of consistency. It was just my opinion on how it should be done.

I really don't care much one way or the other but I don't know that having Mike Taylor on the list is much different than having guys that were drafted back in the day in the 10th, 11th, 12th, or 16th round on the list.

Exactly, it's all BS with the staff change anyway, even Brackins and Gilstrap. The only guy here that had anything to do with them was TJ, and while he's a good recruiter, it's not like he has some great player development track record to sell guys on. I would think that recruits would look into things at least that far instead of just taking "We've got two guys in the NBA draft" at face value, but maybe I'm giving the High Schoolers too much credit.
