Re: Rashad Vaughn

Not only are you playing to win, you gotta keep your current team focused/happy and at the same time do things (style/tempo/wins) to attract your key recruits. Oh yeah, and there is the fans/boosters to worry about. Plus a million other things.

It's crazy but true - one win/loss or action at the right (or wrong) time can make or break getting a top recruit that is still a kid making big-boy decisions.

No wonder many coaches are so high-strung.

I don't know if you know this, but Fred eats this stuff for breakfast...:spinny:

Re: Rashad Vaughn

I think our season is important. If we continue to show that Hoiberg runs a dynamic offense that allows 4-5 scorers on the floor at once, high possession, high shot-attempt offense, and that Niang and Thomas and Morris are high quality players, get to the tourney, and hopefully rd of 32 or 16 - we should be in great shape.

Could not agree more. I say a sweet 16 finish, and we have a great shot at landing him. A rd of 32 and it is lesser of a possibility, but still a chance.

Either that or we have to win the big12 regular season or tournament.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

Hey guys its been a while, but life has been busy expecting my first son. So So excited I am sure there will be a fight over what school colors decorate the nursery Carolina blue or the Iowa state red. smh... I am gonna be a dad. Down to business. UNC has backed off of Vaughn the cooling seems to be mutual I would like to say that you guys are the leaders but from all I have learned KU is in deep with him as is Minnesota. Good luck in getting him. Gotta get back to work but wanted to drop that info off. TIFWIW this comes from some insiders I associate with. Could be wrong, but signs point to them being accurate. Good day to all and as always GO HEELS!!!


Cant believe I am gonna be a dad so so excited

I'd love to say that you're actually the father, but from all I have learned, the mailman was deep in there, as well as another party. Could be wrong, but signs point to it being accurate. :jimlad:

Strange how KU could be so tight considering he's never visited them and rarely seem to watch his games... No doubt KU is a contender as RV plans to visit them, but already having a really good relationship seems strange. But, I imagine the Wiggins factor had something to do with that as well.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

I guess that wouldn't shock me. Obviously at this point, Bill Self is one of the top 5 recruiters in the game. He's got a lot to sell there in Lawrence.

Are we sure he isn't refering to Kentucky and not Kansas as KU? That was my assumption, it has been rumored Calipari has prioritized RV. Truetarheepfan may need to clarify?
That said, I do expect RV to visit Kansas, he has implied as much. Free basketball game at the Fogg is tempting to any basketball fan.

In other news Rashad is participating in the Under Armour Elite 24 showcase game airs live on ESPNU at 7 p.m. ET Saturday, while the Slam Dunk Contest and Skills Competition will air Friday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPNU. Set your DVR's if your interested.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

KU is Kansas. UK is Kentucky.

Correct, however maybe not in Carolina? I just assumed truetarheepfan mistyped... I've just have seen more recruiting buzz with Rashad associated Kentucy, ISU, and Minny to this point than Kansas.

I think the tarheel fan has just as much a guess as we do. That's pretty much it. Why would RV tell his top schools to 'insiders' at UNC? It's nothing more than rumor, I leave it at that

Re: Rashad Vaughn

In a gopher bball recruiting podcast yesterday, Ryan James mentioned that KU - Kansas is/ will be hot on Rashad until the end. I take that to mean that Self has made RV a priority.
