Jaylen Barford

[tyler24]

The man knows guards... If he wants to bring in a talented guard then please do. His recruiting at Iowa State hasn't disappointed me yet. If he is recruiting thus quickly, I'm impressed.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Burt is 250 and way above the rim. He is a solid 3 and IMO, could play a 4.

Oh, and Fred called him an absolute horse.

I would think at 6'4 playing the 4 will get you eaten up on defense.

He has long arms and is 250 lbs.

Hogue defended the 4 in 2013-14 for the most part with only an extra inch and a half, and 30 less lbs.

Maybe somebody will be ridiculous and put 3 or 4 guards on the floor all at the same time.

The first name mentioned and people freak about big guys, par for the course.

I'm hoping the new offers will be to the guys who were always on his wishlist at Murray State that he knew would never want to come to Murray State.

I can't remember which thread the picture was posted in but when Prohm met the team on Monday at the Sukup someone tweeted a picture and it had Burton's side profile. The dude is jacked out of his mind. Could probably play linebacker too.

 

[bosco]

Isn't Burton only 6'4? He's a guard/sometimes 3 isn't he? Not front court.

think Jeremiah George but bigger.

I've seen him play. This is a true statement. He's 2/3 and possible 4 if we want to play small. There was a video of him dunking w Timberland boots (weighs a ton) on recently and that showed how much power and athleticism he has.

He is going to carry this team in 2016-2017. Book it.

 

[BACyclone]

There is no better time to capture heightened fan support or recruit interest than right after a coaching change, especially when you're already looking towards a likely stellar year. I would expect to see us make some quick inroads on some similar type of quick-impact players for 2016 and 17.

It doesn't hurt that starting in '16 we can sell everything we can't sell for the upcoming season: playing time.

 

[AmCyFan]

This guy is going to school in my hometown! Wish I could tell him how easy it is to make the transition from TN to IA. Fun fact: Motlow CC is about 10 minutes from Jack Daniels distillery.....

Mum has been the word around Jaylen Barford, but the top ranked juco player for 2016 holds an Iowa state offer according to 247 recruiting.

Jaylen visited Xavier (back in June before they landed a PG) and plans to set a visit with Ben Howland at MSU. Although Barford took an unofficial to Ole Miss a couple weeks back, his recruitment remains below the radar and it's unclear where Iowa State factors in.

We have two other juco point guards on the radar in Strong (Coffeyville CC) and Jackson (Iowa Western) but Jaylen Barford is someone to keep an eye on as things evolve.

He recently cut his list and Iowa St was not on it

 

[Bardman]

From Juco Recruting:

Barford's top 5 schools are: Arkansas, Missouri, Memphis, Xavier and Ole Miss

We basically know MSU has been added since that list was trimmed, so I wouldn't slam the door on him yet. Considering how loud recruiting has been on the pg trail, and how silent his recruitment has been, I'd say we are in the outside looking in for sure.

So what are you saying exactly?

 

[Sigmapolis]

Im surprised you survived Hoiwatch

Please stop quoting them.

I put them on my ignore list for a reason.

 

[Jacktronic]

So Galikanokus is NOT the butler?

 

[Bardman]

So what are you saying exactly?

Don't count him in, but don't count him out

 

[VeloClone]

Don't count him in, but don't count him out

Do we really want him if he can't be counted on? :spinny:

 

[discydisc]

Whoa...easier there, he just said to not count him in or our, nothing about counting on him.
