Josh Davis

I've seen this guy play several games. Saw him put 21/15 on Memphis in C-USA Tournament. He will start every game beginning with the first closed scrimmage, IMO. Ferocious rebounder and high energy guy. Trust me, we all want this guy.

I do now. Good pump-up post. I'm ready to play today.
 
Not impressed at all. This may sound harsh just from one tape, but it looks like he lacks the skills for a Big 12 player, I think Fred was really desperate for a big guy commit. Hopefully Niang stays out of foul trouble. Booker played garbage minutes for the second half of the season, I would take Booker in a heartbeat over this guy. Sorry, maybe I am wrong, but his numbers are not impressive for a future big 12 player.

Are you saying he's soft?

C'mon, someone say he's soft, please. It's not an official thread until someone does.

[TD="class: topictitle"]The kid is from North Carolina. Originally signed with NC State and played 1 year there.

2 years at Tulane. He sat out one year at Tulane on transfer which explains why he graduated with one year of eligibility left.


Business Management Major. Not sure what degree he could earn at any of the three schools in the business area without it also being offered at Tulane. (Is that the rule?)

Competition: Pitt, Gonzaga, Illinois and Iowa State.

Gonzaga seems a long way away from home.

Pitt gets him to North Carolina a couple times next year in the ACC.

Illinois, desperately needs him probably more than the other schools and Sam Mclaurin showed Groce is willing to play a transfer.

Iowa State, transfer U, he would fit in with all the transfers. However, besides Gonzaga, probably the most remote location for him to go to.

I'd say 1) Pitt 2) Illinois 3) Iowa State 4) Gonzaga

What's the nutt on the street saying?

THE U
I love when opposing fans derogatorily call us Transfer U, in a thread about their desperate desires for another transfer. Jealousy- they have it.
 
Ha, Transfer U... I call ISU that, I don't think it's derogatory at all. Anyway, the reason for my post is regarding Edozie. He looks really good in the video, I'm not sure why you guys aren't impressed. Don't think he would have posted it on YouTube if he didn't think it was a decent video. You also have to factor in other hypotheticals for his poor performance on paper. Maybe a bad relationship with his coach? Maybe he got hurt? Maybe he's not known to be an offensive playmaker? Could easily be Fred is bringing him in for depth purposes, and could use his size, strength underneath, rebounding and defense. Edozie is who I'm expecting to see in our lineup next year. Not Davis.

What's derogatory in that? More B.H.

If anything, I like the title Transfer U. If any players out there are looking to transfer, and they know there is a school out there called Trasfer U......can only be good for us.

Has Edozie signed? If so, you don't pull a schollie from a guy that just signed. I don't know that he has signed though or exactly how it works with jucos anyway.

It says he signed in this article:

Daniel Edozie Signs With The Cyclones - Iowa State University Athletics Official Web Site - [url]www.CYCLONES.com - The home of Iowa State Cyclone Sports[/URL]

The thing that I don't understand is that the early signing period was from Nov 14th-Nov 21st.
National Letter of Intent Home Page

They say that he signed on Nov 26th. So maybe he hasn't officially signed. I'm not sure. Do you have to sign during Nov 14th-Nov 21st or can you sign after the signing period? I don't get it.
 
I love the fact that we are in the top of choices of premier HS players (Vaughn) and transfers (Davis). And it is really nice that we are in and Kansas isn't.

Jucos don't sign an LOI i don't believe. I'm not betting on it though.
 
I really, really want this guy. It sucks that we would have to pull an offer/have someone transfer, but I trust that Fred has a handle on it. In the words of Dan Hawkins, "This ain't intramurals, brother."

My guess is either Edozie or Bluford won't make it to Ames. I hate to speculate like that, but that's just a gut feeling.

Of course, that assumes Davis actually comes here. I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I think he will end up somewhere else.

But what message does this send incoming recruits? Commit to ISU to likely get replaced by someone who gave their commitment somewhere else? No loyalty and no integrity in this concept. As much as I'd like Davis or Edwards, I would hate to see Hoiberg develop a bad rap by making a shady move to prevent someone from coming to campus who committed a long time ago. The moral code some of you are wanting Hoiberg to display is along Alford lines.
 
I don't think Fred will be pushing someone out or renig on a signed recruit.

The fact is we have no idea what has been promised, said or agreed to by Fred and each, individual recruit. There could be 1 million reasons why a Juco doesn't make it to school, most of which are under the recruits control and not Fred's.

So far, Hoiberg hasn't screwed anyone. And he even came up with a scholarship for Bubu. I think recruits and current players can trust what he says.

Scholarships opening by means of something other than players graduating or going pro happens everywhere. Welcome to major college basketball.
 
We are just saying that I'm sure when he signed in mid November before the season started, the staff probably was expecting him to average a little more than 5.6 ppg and 6.5 ppg. You can pull a scholarship from someone if they don't perform at the level that you thought they were going to. Happens all the time.

Davis would be a better option for us IMO.
since he signed though wouldn't he be guaranteed a year. If I remember correctly the scholly is in the signed letter of intent....that you agree to have a copy of mine somewhere but I played naia ball so may be different.
