Monte Morris to announce decision this afternoon at 5

[gocubs2118]

Anybody know if it's 5:00 Flint Michigan time, or 5:00 Ames Iowa time? There's an hour difference. That's a big difference on how I prepare and coach a bunch of 9 year old's little league baseball!

Most likely Michigan time.

would be a great pickup and a great start to the 2013 class with him and Thomas. I wonder if this would eliminate Samuel from consideration?

Excellent

Yeah i'm guessing this would eliminate Samuel. We will have Bubu, Naz, and Morris(possibly) next year; plus 2 recruited walk-on PGs in Law and Fowler. We don't really need 6 PGs. I'm guessing we will back off on 2014 PG's too considering the following year we will have Long and Morris(if he commits) and again 2 recruited walk-ons. We need some big men already.

C'mon down Monte Morris! I have a cyclone feeling with this one, which means I will get all excited and then get kicked in the balls so hard they go to my throat.

Nope.

Naz could play the two though. He definitely is a scoring PG as it is.

Just a got feeling here as well, but I think Iowa State is in very good position.

 

[mfelske]

With all these good gut feelings going around, I suddenly have a gut feeling that things may not go our way. Of course, that's a remnant of the old Cyclone fan in me who thinks that just when things seem to be going our way... bam... WR&NL. The new coaches are starting to silence that guy, but it's gonna be a long road.

Come play for Freddy, Monte and help to silence that pessimistic SOB in my head.

Heard on twitter per scoopIPS

Do you suppose that a past Cyclone player from Flint is helping the Iowa State cause? Monte, you'll love being a Cyclone! Welcome!

 

[Knownothing]

A lot of these "Point Guards", Naz, Monte, and Custer can play the two as well. More point guards first but also combo guards. I don't have a feeling we will be having to many more 6'8 power forward/point guard combos on our team.

You mean that's not normal?

 

[CyBer]

He's retweeting a lot of Iowa State fans who have wished him a happy birthday, I suggest everyone wish the kid a happy birthday from Iowa State.

 

[ISUonthemove]

If Morris commits, are we done with Terrance Samuel? Thought we had a good shot at him too?

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, but looking at the facts, I would be really surprised if he didn't committ to ISU.

This would be like blowing at 35 point lead in the 4th quarter.

Per Chad Brendel ‏on Twitter:
Good luck to Monte Morris on his decision today. Hearing Iowa State will be tough to beat. Morris had a great spring.

Can these too many PG discussions please go away forever? The best part of a PG, is that 9/10 times a PG can also play SG, a SG can't always play PG. That is the key. After not having any true starting PG last season, i don't think Fred wants to get caught without one again in case one or more of these guys don't pan out.

Yep Fred is a smart man, he know's what he is doing. He must be consulting Bobby Lutz.
