Recruit Lists v2.0

No Vaughn, Yes Cunningham = who's the third target?
No Vaughn, No Cunningham = ?????

My expert opinion is Vaughn, and a JuCo or Transfer. And I love that. Fred hasn't missed on too many transfers and the way the market is nowadays, plus the upswing ISU is in helps.

I know its a running joke, but in the last couple years, when a good transfer comes on the market, who is usually thought of as associated with them? Thats a good thing in my mind.

 

[acgclone]

starting to worry a little bit.

Agreed. Even if we're sitting good with RV and we're all in on him, it could be all washed away with one weekend in Lawrence or Chapel Hill and we've got a goose egg

 

[Dandy]

starting to worry a little bit.

I'm going to optimistic for now because I'm sure CFH and Co. have a plan. I highly doubt they would cool on Macura and Johnson for no reason.

 

[Cyclones01]

I kind of wonder if Nick Babb might be a possibility. He's a verbal to Arkansas, but when he committed there we were still in on a ton of guys.

 

[mkleve44]

Putting all our eggs in one basket. Their plan has to be Vaughn and a Juco/ Transfer for a PF or C.

 

[gocubs2118]

If this was happening last year, I'd be extremely worried but as it stands now, I'm not really worried at all. We already have a solid foundation going into next year, this class was just about building onto that. And we have with Nader and Custer. I have all the confidence in Fred that he will go into the JUCO and transfer market and find us quality players.

one reason to cool on recruits is when they don't want to visit.

Macura figured out that he'd have to get beat up by Thomas in practice every day.

Bummed about Johnson, but moving on...
I hope we have someone on the roster that can be that 3rd quality big next year, but fear we don't.

 

[mkleve44]

Do you guys think the coaches cooled on Macura and Johnson, or do you think it was Macura and Johnson who cooled off us? Or a combination?

Reading between the lines, Macura wanted early playing time and he wasn't sure he could get that at ISU. Johnson supposedly didn't like Ames when he visited this summer.

I'm guessing they both recently informed the coaches that they weren't coming here.

I think we would have gladly taken either if they wanted to come here

 

[Cyinthenorth]

A little worried. Why would Vaughn want to commit to a class with no other top 100 guys? Situation is really going downhill and fast.

Custer #90.

With Niang, Thomas, Morris already here, and SDW #123.

The team has other Top 100 guys.

Numerous reasons. High ranked upper classman, ex NBA guard as head coach, dreamy eyes, high scoring system, to be top dog on the team, take your pick.

Impressed that the whole staff is going out to Vegas. Hope they do not go to those clubs.Findlay has a couple of good players.

 

[acgclone]

Hopefully Doc can really become a force for us on the JUCO scene because our HS recruiting relies too heavily on Mann in Michigan currently.

Losing TJ was a big loss for the HS scene and Matt A brings virtually nothing to the table from what I can tell, which admittedly is based on only what I read online.

Well their other targets have informed them that we're out so they have some time on their hands.

I agree that Matt A has been disappointing but that will all change if they can land Vaughn.

Yep. I think this isn't the best sign, though I do appreciate their tenacity in going after RV.

Matt A got us Nader, didn't he?
