Re: Rashad Vaughn

I have a friend that works in the UM athletic dept. There is a rumor up there floating around that Vaughn cancelled his trip to Baylor because he has already decided on a school. They believe it is Iowa State. But again this is just rumors and hearsay so take it for what it is worth.

He's ours, book it down. If not I'm burning my season tickets.
Eric, you with me?

Re: Rashad Vaughn

It's going to be an absolute madhouse for that Michigan game, especially now seeing how quickly it sold out. That could be the final nudge we need.

It's also during the Early Signing Period... so we have the potential to get more than just a commitment when in town... we could get a signing... it's just potential and all hopes and dreams.

and you know what they say about hopes: "You can hope in one hand and crap in the other, and see which one gets filled first"

Re: Rashad Vaughn

Current standings:
49% Cyclones
29% Linetrap Las Vegan Rebels
17% Tarfeels
9% Southern Canada Gopher Pit
6% You have no chance wildcats

Liking how this looks, except since 10/03/2013 we have had UNLV be picked FIVE times to our TWO times.
I am getting kinda scared, but In Fred we trust.

If Vaughn goes to UNLV it will be funny because I am willing to bank that they will not make it past the third round at MOST, just not enough talent and coaching prowess. Hoiberg was a hair away from making it to the sweet 16 this year had we not have an injured starter (and it is safe to say we very could of well of beaten Arizona and Wichita State in the elite 8). MWC is a weak conference and can't compete with Big 12/Big 10/Big East/ACC in basketball. Vaughns competition would be weak and by the time he gets to NCAA tourny his team might not be custom to the high intensity style of play against opponents with 4-5 stars ratings. I don't see many of those highly rated players going San Jose U, San Diego U, Boise State, U of New Mexico, or U of Wyoming.

Only reason to go to UNLV is Vegas which means hotel and casinos and nightclubs and bars. Vaughn is too young to do anything in Vegas especially if he is one and done. Vaughn, my advice if you're reading, hold off on Vegas, it will be a lot more fun after Hoiberg helps you into the NBA, you're old enough, and you have $$thousands$$ to blow on gambling and alcohol. Besides Vegas grows old after a week or two.


Hoiberg is a basketball genius and as a former NBA player/manager you will need him. You will be playing under an NBA caliber coach with up tempo NBA style of play. He knows whats up. Dave Rice has a great record at UNLV, but can't compare to Hoiberg. Plus your parents and fans from Minnesota will be close enough to attend every game.


My question to you guys, would Chris Babb be able to shut down a player like Rashad Vaughn? Man I am gonna miss Babb.

1. Holy wow, you're joking right?
2. Nope, but it'd be fun to watch him try.

wow it doesn't get much more delusional than this. Not enough talent lol? 2014 for unlv is already stacked. RV is the icing on the cake in vegas, not the make or break ala iowa st.This is only dave rice's 3rd year as a head coach. i think he has 51 wins in two seasons and the number 1 draft pick. I'm sure hoieberg is a good coach but take his **** out of your mouth. a basketball genius? a nice 16-16 season sure has genius written all over it. dave rice has about 10 less wins that your genius in ONE LESS SEASON, WITH A HIGHER SOS. i'm glad las vegas gets old to you fast but good thing RV does not care what you think about las vegas. It is clear you know nothing about lv. You think people who live in las vegas hang out in casinos all day and night? that is for the stupid tourists who pay the nevada state tax. I'm Sure RV will spend much of his time in one of the best basketballl facilities in the country, the mendenhall center. that is also where the usa Olympic team practices. I know nothing about iowa st facilities but i'm willing to my left nut its not as nice as of a set up unlv has for their players. if he picks iowa st it is prob based off his relationship with the coach? what else could it be?

Actually I believe it does have genius written on it. When Hoiberg came in he had 3 returning scholarship players and ZERO coaching experience what so ever... ISU was competing on a nightly basis with XII teams. Talent was coming in, Id call that pretty successful for having little past credibility under your belt..

Re: Rashad Vaughn

Here's some stats an elite scorer should be interested in...

Vaughn has said that what is important to him is 1.) the relationship with a head coach (check), and 2.) a style of play/ transition offense. So here is how that other school stacked up against ISU in categories that would indicate an effiicient, fast-paced offense. It's really pretty glaring...

Possessions per game:
#26 - Iowa State (72.4)
#64 - that other team (70.7)

Effective Field Goal Percentage:
#18 - Iowa State (53.8%)
#143 - that other school (49.0%)

True Shooting Percentage:
#23 - Iowa State (113.8%)
#145 - that other school (105.4%)

Field Goals Made per Game:
#7 - Iowa State (27.5)
#88 - that other school (24.8)

Offensive Efficiency:
#15 - Iowa State (1.097)
#133 - that other school (1.002)

3pt attempts per game
:
#15 - Iowa State (26.4)
#94 - that other school (19.8)

3pt made per game:
#1 - Iowa State (9.9)
#127 - that other school (6.5)

Points per game:
#2 - Iowa State (79.4)
#76 - that other school (70.8)

Re: Rashad Vaughn

its sad how many of you have gopherhole accounts and are calling me out. I go on their site also to see if they have any new RV news. I see Iowa st fans on there talking ****, but that is none of you right?

Re: Rashad Vaughn

It's nothing earth shattering or anything. To paraphrase.... basically, it is this Wolfson guy's opinion that it is down to Iowa State and UNLV for RV.

That is why i really want to know if anybody knows who this guy is. Is he credible?

I heard hoiberg told him that. Must.work for the daily.

Wasn't this guy supposed to be the less extreme of the two UNLV trolls? He makes that Vaughn2UNLV character look (somewhat) reasonable.
