Sounds like he left because he wanted to work on that, and not be a center type, so that's good to hear motivational wise.

It's ESPN Insider so I can’t post the link, but its "Recruiting Nation" has Iowa State ranked 18th for the 2017 class, as of April 7.

Miami-Ohio transfer Michael Weathers (16.7 ppg) told ESPN visiting Nevada on 14th, Arkansas on 17th, Xavier on 20th, Oklahoma State on 25th.
We don't be seen to have any interest in the sit 1 to play 3...Prohm looks pretty hellbent on balancing out the classes, can't blame him
We're in a perfect set up to do that. Next year try to surprise and then 2018/19 realize.
A helpful transfer-roundup, not a high-profile site, but it appears to be largely up-to-date and a good basic guide.
2017 transfers list
2017 transfers list
My four schollie wish list is definitely:
(Orderered in how much I want their commitment)
-Juiston
-Brown
-Shayok
-Morrow
Brings balance to the classes and high caliber talent to Ames.

I totally agree with that sentiment of those 4. Its why it threw me off to read they hoped to get Edwards signed this weekend. Just never know with Juco players, maybe with better teammates the guy is a major player just more of a risk then the grad transfer guys we are after.
We have to remember the staff has evaluated Edwards all spring and already decided that he would help ISU. That is why they wanted the commitment plus while those 4 listed would be a bumper transfer class they haven't visited yet, and there is no guarantee in recruiting they all will make it to Ames. No guarantee grad transfers will produce better than JuCo players either.
4 scholarships and we're going after:
Edwards
Brown
Shayok
Juiston
Morrow
Assuming Edwards is the 5th option on that list? I guess you could also make the case the staff doesn't really want 2 sit-out transfers though in that scenario, so maybe that would default Morrow to 5th?

Two sit-outs is perfect as long as the other two help next year's team make it 7 in a row.
Not to bash the kid but he left because he wouldn't start at the 4, they have a transfer that is better suited to play the stretch 4 role (and SO Isaiah Roby). That meant to get on the floor, Morrow would need to play the 5, he wasn't interested in that. I agree though, maybe now he'll have a chip on his shoulder to prove he can play be a 4. Whatever position he plays, I'm really high on him, he and Solomon would be a formidable duo in the paint.
I wonder how if the Morrow and Julston's recruiting could impact one another. One of those guys would be coming off the bench in 18/19 right? Both guys are looking to start and are being given that option from plenty of other teams.
I think Juiston's decision effects Marrow's, but probably not the other way. Juiston will have a leg up in two years being able to play next year, and Marrow knows that Iowa St is hard after Race Thompson. Best case scenerio, Iowa St has a solid front court of Juiston, Race, and Young in two years, not to mention Lard. That probably isn't an ideal situation for Marrow to get the playing time he wants.
Definitely agree with this. I believe Morrow is backup plan if Juiston goes elsewhere...
Morrow has to redshirt. I wouldn't call that a backup plan
Why would you assume Edwards is the 5th option? Edwards and Juiston have been our top targets for awhile now.
