Re: Rashad Vaughn
Depends on the 4 year. If I had my choice between say Elijah Johnson for 4 years or Ben MacLemore, I choose Ben 10 of 10 times.
Re: Rashad Vaughn
Seriously, I can't come up with that many players in today's CBB that I would want more at ISU than a McDermott clone as a freshman. 4 year starter and 20+ ppg scorer? Sign me up. Although I feel close to that with Niang for the same reason.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I thought we do in Niang. And for the record, McDermott would not be getting 20+ a game in the B12

A Vaughn commit, and I would have to be sedated to counteract the Kool Aid that would be rushing through my veins.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
What about 4 years of McDermott vs. 1 year of MacLemore? Because I'm taking McDermott every day of the week.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Agreed. I might start 3 or more national title threads myself. Right after I buy my final four tickets that is

Re: Rashad Vaughn
How about 4 years of McDermott vs. 1 year of Carmelo Anthony? McDermott gets you solid play for 4 years and there is nothing wrong with that but the right 1 and done gets you deep NCAA runs and maybe a national championship.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
4 years of McDermott with MVC stats? Or 4 years of what he would likely produce in the B12?

Re: Rashad Vaughn
If Vaughn makes us a legitimate threat in the Big 12 and National scene, hypothetically with other pieces in place, it's not really a discussion. You go for the 1 year guy. Say Niang is our 4 year guy that is highly productive. Then you have the best of both worlds colliding if Vaughn does commit. Thomas shooting. Morris developing into a 1st or 2nd team Big 12 point. Vaughn could really change the scenery in Ames. I hope it happens because it could be a real catapult. Alot of hypotheticals in the entire discussion but it's not far fetched.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Good point, but to be fair a quick count of games vs. major conference teams I get McDermott averaging 28 ppg. This was vs. Wisc, Neb, Cal, Cinc, Duke, AZst. Not all great teams but not all B12 teams are great either.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I'm not sure about my answer. Can we choose where we keep Elijah for the four years? Like, say, in a small cell with occasional visits from an experienced interrogator?

Re: Rashad Vaughn
The other part of the equation is that in my opinion if you get McDermott for 4 years you also have his dad as your coach. I truly believe if he wasn't playing for his dad, he would already be playing for pay.
That changes the calculus quite a bit.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
There is no "maybe" in this argument. Carmelo did win a national championship during his one year at Syracuse.
You'll always take a one-and-done and a national title over a four year guy who doesn't get you into the Sweet 16.
