Re: Rashad Vaughn
Must win for the current team? No, but a must win for the future of this program? Sure, but at least make it competitive (like, um, Iowa States "lose" to Kansas) that would be just as good. But win this game, and boy the future of this program will be flying high.

Also, the #1 rated SG for 2014 on 247 sports is down to Arizona and Kentucky. The majority of insiders predict that he will go to Arizona.
Also, Kansas is going after the #2 ranked SG on 247 sports named Kelly Oubre (a teammate of Rashad at Findlay this year) and seem to have him in the bag.
Hopefully if these guys sign with these schools it can shy Rashad away from attending these schools or lower his interest.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I don't know that a win is key. I think a huge crowd is key. I think the students going all out for Vaughn is key. There was an interview a radio station in Minneapolis did with him not long after he was down for the Baylor game. He mentioned that the crowd was great and they were doing chants and they had a bunch of posters for him. He was impressed. The interviewer then asked why Minnesota fans didn't do that type of stuff when he was at their games and he said he didn't know.
It would obviously be best if Iowa State was competitive that game. But that atmosphere and the crowd will be the biggest key.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I'm showing up to that game expecting a win. It's Hilton Coliseum. I don't care if we are playing a team ranked #1 or #101. I expect to beat anyone and everyone in Hilton.
Re: Rashad Vaughn
NBA connections will be played hard. He can go to Baylor and regress, and no offense to Dave Rice, seems like a good coach, but I don't think the guy has step foot outside the Mountain West conference. NC has definitely recruited some great players, but Fred has proven to be great at recruiting and assembling teams. He would be the centerpiece of the team, unlike at KU and UNC. As for Minnesota, you don't want your mom to be in striking distance of showing up at your place at 8 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Do you think people that live in Vegas are really that tuned in to recruits living there that might attend UNLV?
If I was living it Vegas I'd pretty much have a one track mind of what games are they currently spreading at Bellagio.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Michigan isn't a must-win game, it's a must-impress game. Michigan is a top 5 team this year and this is Hoibergs 2nd worst team since coaching. The crowd needs to be loud and cheering all game, but this game won't be a factor at all in Vaughns decision.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
This.
We need to blow the roof off of Hilton to impress Vaughn. As long as we have a competitive team, its up to the fans to be loud and crazy.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
If you can pick 1 non con game in the last 10 years that you want to win, this is #1, in my opinion. A top recruit is going to be in the house, getting a win would sure send some good vibes all around Hilton. His last memory of Hilton was that great game (win) against Baylor. Even though it's not likely, the best chance to get a commit that weekend is to get the W.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I don't agree at all that this is Fred's 2nd worst team but that's for a different thread.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
no offense to dave rice either but unlv evidently doesnt know he is there coach
Re: Rashad Vaughn
Just out of curiosity, what team do you think is? Surely not his second year team, and though we return Ejim and Niang we don't have exactly the greatest replacements for Clyburn and Lucious.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Well, this team is probably the highest rated nationally coming into the season. I'd probably say last years team was the second worst. Even though we lose a lot off of last years team, we also bring back two 4 year starters, an all Big XII candidate and a top 50 recruit in the starting lineup.
To be honest though, it's hard to differentiate between the 3 teams. You could make a case for any of them, I suppose.

Rashad Vaughn Crystal Ball
That makes 4 ISU predictions today! Wonder if a successful in-home visit sparked this?

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Probably had to replace the Kentucky picks and went with the school that appears like the favorite. But hey, I'll take it!
Re: Rashad Vaughn
Total predictions are now up to 34. So 2 of them are new predictions, and 2 must be updated predictions.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
You never know who can step up. Guys get better. Teams get better. This can be discussed at the end of the season. When we beat Kansas and secure are lock in the sweet sixteen.
