Re: Rashad Vaughn

No way to prove anything. GH is just mad.

I can understand why, they aren't going to land a single in state kid in arguably the most decorated class of Minnesota prospects ever. It would be one thing if they were battling other major conference in state schools, but that obviously isn't the problem.

Oh yeah. I get that. I'd be ****** too. I'm betting the coaches said something along the lines of "We're recruiting a kid that's one of the best in the nation and we believe that he's down to us and the school closest to his prep school". The guy who tweeted that just failed to make it sound like that.

After the recent scare, I can't believe the coaches are just naming names to whoever will listen. Doesn't make sense.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

Injury and now this. Bad day in the world of RV for ISU.

How is a student reporter saying we are in the final two bad news? Even if two coaches told him that they can't prove anything and nothing will happen/change our situation with RV

Which is about 99.9% likely what was said and the guy who runs GopherHole knows that just as well as any of us do, but desperation has clearly set in. It's pretty pathetic really.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

Did anyone stop to think that maybe the reporter deleted the tweet because he made a mistake when tweeting? This Gopher Hole makes it sound like he deleted it to destroy evidence or something, which is awfully presumptuous.

Because us being in the final two isn't exactly news. Most have suspected this for awhile now. Hard to down play this reporter while trying to wrong out some credibility at the same time...

Plus any injury that requires surgery is not good.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

OK... what coaches were at media day today?

Hoiberg.... who else?

How could he have even talked to two coaches if we only had one there? Not to mention that Hoiberg had a mob around him at all times. I doubt he pulled the ISU daily reporter aside and gave him the scoop on RV.

Agree with the injury but the reporter thing won't be an issue.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

There is no way to prove anything. And the reporter could of easily blown that up to get some 'reporter cred' with a an uncommitted top player in the nation in RV. I'm sure he'll take full responsibility and blame. It's easy to ask a question and get the answer through body language.. Especially if it's a straight question.. 'Is Rashad Vaughn down to the good guys and UNLV?' That would be an awkward situation

He never said it was at media day. He could have talked to them on the phone.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

No noise on twitter lately. I think it is just a story up north. Gophers are grasping. I don't think our coaches are that dumb.

Re: Rashad Vaughn

This tweet has already been taking down but GopherHole picked it up. Coaches can't talk about recruits so they are all over it

After talking to two ISU coaches about Rashad Vaughn today, it’s almost a certainty that it's between the #Cyclones & UNLV for his services.

So who is this guy?

Re: Rashad Vaughn

Gopher fans (all 50 of them) have always been douchey, but they're reaching higher doosh levels than I thought was possible. I may have to root for Iowa against them, ugh
