Ejim, no. Fizer was nearly 6'9'', so yes. Come on guys, throw me on the grill for stating a subjective opinion. Niang can be labelled a big. I don't care that much about it. Maybe I should have rephrased my claim and said that Hoiberg has only successfully recruited one CENTER, that being Percy Gibson.

Ejim led the Big 12 in rebounding last year but isn't a big? I realize that isn't the end-all-be-all (jake Anderson) but still. And threes no way Fizer was 6'9".

He was too short. He was blocked a lot at the bucket in the pros.

You know, I have been saying this for a while now. If we got Malik Abdul Abu, I would shut up with the "we need a quality big man" talk..

Hoping that the loss of Amardi doesn't detract other bigs from coming to ISU. Guards are great, but we are going to continue to get beat up down low if Fred can't get a body or two in there.

Idk state...Fred's had 3 years to get a big to come to Ames, and so far his success has been limited to Percy Gibson. Not exactly reeling them in at this point. Edozie can change that, but I'm not too hopeful about that one.

Don't think we're recruiting O'Mara anymore. He hasn't included us in any of his updates since Otz left.

Somebody is finally recruiting the way I think they should and all people do is *****.

Find guys who can play-period.

Don't just go to Sioux City and fall in love with the first big goof you see standing around.

This is known to hawk fans as "the right way".

Jerry Meyer@jerrymeyer247 52m Austin Grandstaff has a ton of game. Brett Farve mentality for better or worse. Will make plays. Projects as combo guard playmaker

Grandstaff is a player I want almost as much as Vaughn...I have a feeling he's going to be a great one

Sometime during Rashad Vaughn's decision next year we should all pitch in some money to send CW on vacation.

And also for some big men we are recruiting.

Don't know if this has already been talked about yet but rivals came out with their 150 and Custer missed being a 4 star by 1 spot. Doesn't really matter, but would have been cool to see that extra star by his name.

Is that a new Top 150? Because I think he's been 1 spot shy for a while.
