Because they play boring ass basketball albeit effective
Yep, old school racism that isn't based on facts. Actually, here you go:

Now UW-Madison does have good standards for academics and is a good school, but at the same time this would be good enough as a basketball player especially to get a scholarship, sorry.
Oh, and Ethan Happ (Wisconsin's leading scorer) had a 3.75 GPA which was barely above Tyrese's. Also, Happ was out of state from Illinois which means your GPA usually has to be higher than someone coming from in state at most state universities.

Nothing like casual racism! WIsconsin just messed up. Perhaps they didn't have a slot for him, but that's hard to believe if it's a good talent. This is true of everything - at my work we've turned down plenty of people because we didn't have slots for them by the time we need to make a decision for one reason or another, but we've definitely had times where we didn't have a true slot for the person but they were so good that we hired them anyway because it would be a crime to let them go elsewhere.

Yeah, I think Halli is pretty darns smart, skilled, and determined. Guy has been a pleasant surprise, although I really like what I saw from him in the WI state championship.
ISU, Cinci & Minny were his only major offers - most of the others came from Valley schools. Lots of P5 programs overlooked him - but I am glad Wisc did!! Hali has been the biggest surprise ISU player I have witnessed in all my years of watching Cyclone basketball.
Nebraska wanted him too. Tyler Harris is a good player but Prohm obviously made the right decision like usual
I actually thought about this during the second half. I was imagining Tyler Harris trying to defend KU today, or hoisting up volume shots - so glad we passed on him.
If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that Prohm can scout point guards. Particularly ones that are under appreciated in recruiting circles.
Curious how all of this went down. Thought for sure Harris was the take, but didn't commit on his OV. Glad we have TH.
His basketball IQ is incredible. I don't know if it was mentioned, but on the 6 player tech he stood right by the ref and waited until the ball was in play before he said something.
Hornacek would be the other, nobody wanted that guy out of high school.
Can't wait to see Tre Jackson in an Iowa State Uniform.
