IC-Press Citizen: Vette to meet with GMac Friday

[JVAR]

Wow! That is a big dude. GMAC can coach bigs. If he can move well and is a true 6"9" with that type of build, we will have one tough inside player.

I got that pic from Hawkeye report. They want him really bad............and are mad that he is ours for the taking.

little note from Hawkeyereport, don't know if it's bs or not:

I live in Ames and saw he was in town and playing a pick up game today at 3. I just got back from watching at state gym. It really does seem like this kid will end up at ISU. His shot was pretty off today, but he rebounded very well. The kid is alot bigger than I thought. He was throwing cory johnson around and he is quite a load. There was another guy there, who I think was Adam Haluskas little brother. He was playing very well. Moves and plays just like Adam. He was schooling Dunson (who I thought left but I guess not), and also schooled brock jacobsen. If this is little Haluska, which I'm sure it was, I hope Iowa goes after hime. He has some talent, and obviously after seeing what Adam became why not take a chance on his brother.

Like Vette in concerned that he needs to win you over ISU Fan 22. Get over yourself.

I am sure that GMac will do his mandatory check in with ISUFan22 prior to offering Vette a scholarship. I like this kid and I just hope he can win ISU 22 over this weekend.

Hopefully, the Hawks don't kidnap ISU Fan. If he isn't able to give is blessing, Vette will be a Hawk. Bank on it!!

Another article. this from waterloo courier
WCFcourier.com | Mr. Basketball appears headed to ISU

I read the article and I have a question:

Do you remember what connection Tom Bardal has with Iowa State?

 

[Bobber]

I trust GMac; so if he thinks he's worth a shot, then I'm for it!

Character references...Boy I said a lot of stupid things when I was younger and continue to do so occasionally. Give the kid a break!:rolleyes5cz:

We've got plenty of guards coming in. We need some big body's in the middle and looks like this kid has that! With Ross Marsden leaving this looks like a good trade up to me??
Man if the kid is this big now, I wonder what he's going to grow into.:yes4lo:

I think he was an assistant under Floyd.

GMAC is a great post-player coach. Look what he did with Jiri this year. Jiri all he wanted to do was shoot the outside shot, but I'm sure GMAC coached him to a presence in the post. He will make Vette an outstanding post player with time

About 5 years ago, another player from the NE Iowa conference committed to Iowa. He was unrecruited until his senior year. I think Alford offered because he couldn't get anybody else. He was built about like Vette, maybe a little shorter and less than 245#. His name was Greg Brunner, remember him? Would you naysayers be satisfied if Vette turned out like Brunner?

Not to argue too much with you Geezer, but Bruner was recruited pretty hard. In fact I watched a game that he played at Chuck City, my friend was doing the color commentary, and had an "interesting" exchange with Larry Eustachy. Larry offered him as a junior.

Clem Haskins was in the town a lot as well.

I love it...can't have a simple opinion without getting drug through the mud...classic.

Did I say I hated the kid? No. I'm just not thrilled he called our coach a derogatory name - whether it was on the internet or not.

If this was a Hawk recruit/player, we'd be hanging and setting him ablaze.

Correct!!

He was also Martin Rancik's coach
