Always awesome to see the top JUCO prospect list and somehow Nevada, TCU, Purdue, TTech and Houston can get PFs but for some unforseen reason, we didn't seem to persue any until only recently where we are apparently watching a few I never heard of.

Remind me again why we didn't recruit Brady Ernst? Did he get in some legal trouble?

I don't think the JUCO rankings are worth much. I think they basically wait and see who commits and then looks at them. I find it unlikely none of the top JUCOs are not committed.

Did you mean to type something besides Brady Ernst there?

Alexis Yetna is a 6-foot-7, 205-pound native of France that is spending the year at Putnam Science Academy. ISU assistant coach Neill Berry was on hand to watch Yetna play on Tuesday.

Georgia and Pitt are other high majors that have reportedly offered Yetna. He also claims a number of notable mid-major offers, such as Cincinnati, New Mexico and Temple.

This.
I find it highly unlikely that a PG from Marshalltown Community College, committed to Rutgers, with a rating of 2 stars and .700, which looks to be the default rating, is the 11th ranked Juco recruit.

Well Fred never did and neither has Prohm. All of players have measured accurately wherever they went whether it be camps, the combine, etc. They actually listed Kane shorter at ISU than what he measured at the combine
I was going off his 247 recruiting page because those measurements always tend to be pretty close to accurate it had him as 6'6" but also 215 pounds and we both know the weight is way off. So I'm gonna have to say you are right my man lol

I recall preseason (at least, I think I do) that Young was listed at 6-8.5" tall by iSu. Thought there was a consensus here, too, that was sure we don't fudge our ht-wt stats.

Throughout the recruiting process OLB O'Rien Vance was listed at 6-3, 235 by recruiting services. On signing day this month, we listed him at 6-1, 235.

I've stood next to Solomon. He's definitely 6'7/6'8.

I remember Solomon being listed as 6'6 on all recruiting sites, and measured 6'8.5 here, and some one asked him about and the sites measured him as a sophomore and never bothered updating it. We list our guys accurately in terms of height. Been a while since anyone had a height surprise at the combine (like when Cheick Diallo showed up barely 6'7)
