Found a quote from Monk's brother about his recruiting from the EYBL, sounds like Kentucky and Arkansas are all in for his services but ISU is still in the top 7 schools "in the mix".
In either case, it doesn't appear like ISU will be backing off Malik's recruitment after the Matt A. to T.J. switch.

"Kentucky is involved with most elite prospects, while Arkansas is doing everything it can to keep the 6-foot-3 Bentonville native in his home state. Monk said he won’t give attention to recruiting until after July, but his brother, Marcus, said Arkansas, Kentucky, Kansas, Florida, North Carolina, Iowa State and Oregon all are in the mix."

Oh, what a shocker.....we're on the same list... with Kansas. Have we ever been on a final list of a 4 or 5 star that didn't have Kansas on it?

2Co will probably say that KU only goes after 4 and 5 stars since they have been conference chumps for a decade.

That would require there to be a 4 or 5 star player that doesn't have a Kansas offer, which doesn't exist.

No. Just that you'll be hard pressed to find a five star recruit in the midwest that Kansas isn't recruiting and hasn't offered a scholarship.

The question is once the KU and UK luxury hotel rooms are full of freshman how many are left for every other program? Only half joking. Hilton needs an actual Hilton, let's built this thing.

It actually is something that wouldn't be terribly hard to build. It would take money, but the school could justify it because it would be student housing. Put the men's and women's team in there, plus some others.

I'm not sure if there's much room anymore, but it would need to be in West Ames, close to the practice facility. Honestly, it wouldn't even have to be over the top nice. Just larger than average rooms, with nice amenities included, like kitchen appliances, TVs, etc.
