Nice. :smile:

Travis Hines@TravisHines213mAustin Grandstaff ('15, TX Elite) named Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma as his top three. Plans to visit Ames in the fall.


Grandstaff seems like a kid that would really excel under Fred.

They need to ask him what he think it would be like playing in half empty gyms at OU and Okie State compared to Ames. Really, there is no comparison. Of course there is other things like the weather, the girls, and of course the school but for a playing environment he can't top Ames with those other two locations.

Sounds like Custer will be a big reason Grandstaff comes to ISU if it happens. Not something I would have expected since One is from Kansas and the other from Texas. They don't play on the same AAU team or anything do they? What's the connection?

From Travis' interview with Abu Malik, ISU might be higher on his list than I previously though. I like that we were the first offer from a major school he received.
“I don’t want to forget anybody,” he said, “but Iowa State, Kansas State, NC State, Florida, Providence, UConn.
“That’s the short list right now.”
As for the Cyclones, they hold a special distinction for Abu.
“They were my first scholarship offer,” he said, “so they’ve been recruiting me for around two years now. It’s a great relationship.

Keep in mind, he is talking to a guy from Ames, who supports ISU. Not saying he doesn't like us or anything, but he could have exaggerated his level of interest a little.

an ames trib writer "supports" isu?? he's a beat writer, he covers isu.

that said, travis' coverage thus far is outstanding. first beat reporter (besides CW) who's ever covered recruiting before.

His replacement for the TR in Marshalltown is a ****** Hawk fan. We cancelled our subscription, might as well be reading the Gazette.

I get that, I just like that Abu put consideration that we were the first to recruit him and are still in regular contact with him. Fred and company wouldn't keep contacting him if he wasn't interested.
