Not sure I trust Cyclone Insiders or their unnamed sources, but he would be a big time get

This ^^^ History has shown us Cyclone Insiders shouldn't be considered reliable.

I did see that Marquette just did pick up a commitment from a 4 star 2016 SF Brendon Bailey tonight. Not sure how that would affect KA decision, but it couldn't hurt. It would make sense he'd want to play close to his brother if it makes sense.

Did a search of "cycloneinsiders sources" on the tweeter and found these gems.

@CycloneInsiders: Sources report that (2016) 5 Star PF Edrice Abdebayo and ISU are talking on a "consistent basis". #7 in Rivals top 100. ISU in a good spot.

@CycloneInsiders: Sources say that Romello White and Iowa State are in a "good place" and prohm texts him every day.......

@CycloneInsiders: BREAKING: per source, Iowa State contacted Gregg Marshall and is setting up an Interview with the Wichita State coach.

@CycloneInsiders: Sources have informed me that Diallo is going to make his decision this week. Sources also say Iowa State is in a decent spot with Diallo.

@CycloneInsiders: I honestly think Diallo is gonna be a Cyclone. Sources I've reached out to say it's about a 65 Percent chance of happening at this point....

LOL

With Pitino likely out at Louisville I wouldn't be surprised if some of their younger recruits are looking to transfer/open their recruitment. We could use another stud forward next year.

Who's claiming Pitino likely out at Louisville? Not buying it.

Seth Greenburg and several other college basketball "experts"

A lot of people are saying he cant weather this storm since the previous dirtball running those parties left over a year ago and theres proof that someone on the current staff is still hosting them....and "ofcourse Rick knows....hes Rick"

Take the pitino talk elsewhere. Let's stay on topic, did kostas commit yet? Kids raw, but appears to have potential.

One of those tweets is true, from what I heard.

While I didn’t hear this directly from Fred or Diallo, another insider told me that Diallo was absolutely ours to lose until Fred said he could not assure him he would be coaching at ISU this year.

Back to 2016. I will assume Kostas goes to Marquette, Norvell to Zaga. Jabari Craig would be a nice big body but what are his stats and offers like?

Jabari Craig had a nice offer list before going juco. Per rivals was a 3 star:
Arizona St, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Houston, Kansas St., LSU, Maryland, Miss. St, New Mexico, Purdue, & USC (where he signed letter of intent). Appears he failed to qualify. I agree with others that he looks raw.
