Nah. It's usually one of the better threads on CF. Just some weird interactions/misunderstandings the last 24 hours.
I think fans are too hung-up/obsessed about the amount of stars a recruit reels in. Granted, if they are a 4 star recruit, generally they will be good at the next level. But there are some busts. Then you have the flip side of the coin, where 3 star or less recruits are gems, and exceed expectations.
FYI... The competition.
@jeffborzello: Virginia Tech, Kansas State and Ole Miss have been in to see ESPN 100 forward Romello White over the past two days.

Anthony Booker was a 4* out of HS that never cracked 15 mpg. Bubu was a 0* hit 13.8 mpg too and at times played way more just never had a complete season. Overall I have thought the same thing. Fred may have taken the recruit kids you k own can compete right now or not at all too far but it also is important we don't go the other way and count on everyone being a Melvin ejim. If we do we will be like Iowa. Why I hope if we miss on our first tier (the kids we are after now) we bank for transfers. We need to keep our reputation as a transfer destination.
Thank you and I agree this next 2016 class has some great role players and stars in it like Burton/Thomas and hopefully Cooke. I just hope we can land 4 star White and think Malou is 4 star quality myself. Also Jackson needs big 12 polishing but he is considered a 4 star as well. I have said too before in Prohms 3rd recruiting class year (2018) look out he could very well land a 5 star PG. if ISU has the success
I brought this up to just straight ISU needs to land White and Malou, but do agree with your logic just think a team to be successful against KU or OU need at least 2 4 star talented kids and then a combination of 3 star and role players. Sometimes 4/5 star guys are too cocky and thus think of themselves not as a team or don't think they need to improve their game. Where 3 stars are always striving to improve
@TravisHines21: Romello White will not be making his scheduled visit to Iowa State this weekend, per source. Sounds like the tentative plan is for next wknd
@AlexHalsted: Despite planning to be in Ames this weekend, PF Romello White will not be making the official visit. Late change of plans, I'm told.
@TravisHines21: White instead will visit South Carolina this weekend, according to @coreyevans_10

Son of a B....
Well he is still visiting at least but would prefer him to take in CyHawk game to the Toledo for the experience.
Power move by Frank Martin here, doubt this is purely coincidence. He's aware of the atmosphere.
Wouldn't surprise me if he (White) doesn't end up visiting. That would be a bummer. Hope he can make it still.
He may never make it here. It's not good when you get bumped for another school
Not sure what everyone's talking about when they say it's gonna take time to recruit top talent. Perfectly happy with the guys we've already signed and who we're in on. If we get just one of the bigs visiting this weekend I'll have no worries for 16'-17' and beyond. Iowa State isn't going anywhere. Hilton, fans, coaching, and the university will be too appealing for players not to want to come here.
