Our recruiting sucks. We offer like 8 guys and only end up getting about the exact number of schollies we have open. Why does this only happen at ISU?

To be fair, every fan base has their fair share of weirdos....
What the hell is the thought process going on in someones head that tells them "tweet at a high school kid I don't know about eating a corn dog"?
George Conditt (Chicago, IL) | Team RWA – Holding an Illinois offer coming into the week, Conditt was a main attraction at the Super 6 Showcase. With his motor and length at 6-foot-10, Conditt has a chance to be a dominant big man. He can defend the paint & rebound out of space filling the stat sheet with double-doubles easily. He even tabbed a triple double with 10 point 11 rebounds and 11 blocks on Saturday afternoon in session II. Conditt has recently picked up offers from Georgia Tech, VCU, Georgia State, and New Mexico after the Super 6 Showcase.

If recruiting goes bad it certainly isn't for lack of trying...

Our coaches are certainly good at evaluating under -the-rader talent that blow up in the late periods.
Can't be stated enough, we were on 3/4's of those listed. If the staff offers an under the radar guy, just assume he is about to blow up or a diamond in the rough.
We will be competing with Underwood pretty regularly for the foreseeable future. Gotta get used to it, and it all starts with beating them out for some of those Illinois guys this class. if we could get 2 of Cunditt, Horton-Tucker, and Griffin that will be a nice little foothold in a good recruiting region. Way easier said than done, though.
underwood going to IL was a setback for our chicago recruiting strategy, IMHO. he's going to be tough to beat, especially since he hired two slimey recruiting dudes to help him navigate the chicago recruiting scene.
if he gets traction with those 3 guys and we don't it just makes our climb even steeper.

If we get two of those three, it won't be a "nice little foothold," rather that will be a major recruiting coupe!
Going forward in recruitment against Underwood, i meant. Obviously that would be a huge class win for us if we could get 2 of those 3
Even getting one of them would be great
We already kicked his ass 3 times this year, I dont see a reason why that wont change.
