Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

anyone that doesn't think boosters pay handlers for recruits is incredibly naive.
I heard a good story about LE and a handler a few years ago but I don't want to hijack the thread unless anyone's really interested.

I'm always ready for a good LE story

Hijack a thread that is 90% hijacked? Don't you dare!

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I would - PM.
OK I'll just throw this out for a quick diversion for everyone. If it doesn't belong here mods can delete or move.

Story I heard was, LE was in on a really good recruit who later ended up in the NBA. Pretty late in the game LE was approached by this person's "handler" who said he could "deliver" said recruit if ISU switched to a certain shoe company. Version I heard was LE said I've never made a deal for a recruit and I never will and go **** yourself. Recruit ended up at an SEC school that either already wore the required shoe or shortly thereafter switched shoe companies, I can't recall. I won't name the player but ISU did later face him in an NCAA tourney game and royally kicked his ***.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

I was already losing interest in this kid's recruitment, but now I'm totally uninterested. It doesn't matter the reason why he moved it back.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

You know I'm feeling more positive about RV being a clone..If you look at his twitter (stalker yes) he's tweeted more about ISU than any other school. On Dec. 13th (Iowa Game) he tweeted something like "Can't imagine how crazy Hilton will be tonight". Maybe it means nothing, probably does, but he's been more vocal about Iowa st. than any other school.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Everyone that is hyperventilating, please do me a favor. Stop worrying for a second and hear me out.


We have a man in the program that turned a team around in one year. After that first rough season, we have had a very good basketball team. Every year, the national media expects us to be down. It hasn't happened yet. We bring in new players and they fit the scheme. They might be transfers, freshman, whatever. They might not be McDonald's All Americans but they play true to the team. This team, and this man, accomplish against the proverbial odds.


That man is obviously Fred Hoiberg. He is the lynch pin, and will forever be more valuable than any single player on this team. His coaching puts our players in a position to succeed. Kane was good at Marshall. He is great at ISU. Every player that has entered Hilton as a Cyclone has left as a more highly regarded basketball player. (With a few minor exceptions.)


If CFH gets RV. Awesome. We will be fine. If he doesn't, take a step back. We will be fine. We have a coach that is all over the national media landscape. We have a team that many consider a Dark horse come March. Times are good and getting better. Don't let the decision making process of a teenage boy get you down. Our league competition may despise our fan base, but they unanimously respect Fred Hoiberg - and that speaks to the direction this team continues to head.


Look at the recruits we are getting. Morris, Kane, Niang, Custer. Smart players who understand how to work at the game. It's not about making themselves shine. It's about making the team win. Winners will find this program and it will continue to grow. The guys that don't come here don't find being a part of that appealing enough to join it. Just wish them luck knowing they missed an opportunity to learn from one of basketball's brightest minds. It truly is their loss.


We are witnessing special times regarding Cyclone basketball. If you spend your hours ******* and praying one player decides to join the team, you may miss what an unbelievably awesome time it is to be a fan of ISU basketball.

^This. A thousand times, this.

Is this why we were stuck with Adidas for so long? I would have loved a future NBA player and some Nike gear!

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

Just one little comment......I don't think RV actually ever said it would be on Saturday, did he? Plenty of others did, but all he had ever said was this weekend.

Obviously, that didn't work out so well, with his schedule and the schedule of virtually every college basketball team in the country.

Plus, in my mind.......I'm going to take this as a positive for ISU. Why? Why Tuesday? Why not Sunday or Monday? What team is traveling on Sunday and has a game Monday night? Don't argue with me!
