Rumor has it Coach Calipari at Kentucky wants a new challenge. Everyone assumed that meant NBA, but recruiting a 5 star to Iowa State might be a bigger challenge.

Former Indiana Hills coach Peery has no ties to the east coast. He's coached in Iowa, Utah, Arizona and Idaho. I'd like to find a better recruiter with ties to NY.

My only fear with Peery is that I don't think coaches much discipline. But that isn't too big of a worry considering we have CFH to take care of that.

At the same time, Peery coaches his players to be tough MFers which is what we need.

There should be a lot of guys to pick from as the coaching carousel continues. I think the program is at a place now that Fred should be able to land a top notch HS recruiter.

I don't think it hurts much with Cheick as Fred was also recruiting him.

A ton on his former Indian Hills players were from NY, not sure if serious?

I trust in Fred. He'll make a great hire.

As long as it's not someone else from "within the program". Hiring Micah Byers or someone like that would be really questionable. After this year's inconsistent defense, I hope Fred will hire someone with defensive expertise who is a good motivator. Obviously, we should just trust Hoiball...I know.

I don't think they need a guy with ties to the east coast. They just need a top recruiter.

Honestly, ISU needs a known recruiter more than an X's and O's guy.

I thought the guy we just hired last year was an AAU coach in the NY area.

Also, I assume Peery is the one that got Dustin Hogue to IHCC
