Are a couple of notable guys we've missed on not included. All are doing pretty well statistically.

Still think we get Brooks if he didn't reclassify to 2014. I really wanted Benjamin too

Watching B1G "basketball" yesterday I saw a number of names I recognized from the recruiting threads. Marvin Clark was mentioned, he looked a lot bigger than I expect, but didn't do much.

Also, Aaron Cosby was a transfer we were in on, went to Illinois. The Illini also have Maverick Morgan, a freshman big who we recruited.

How difficult would it be to use the name of the person you're talking about when replying to a post that didn't use the name either? Hint; New Year's resolution material.

BC Transfer Ryan Anderson picked Arizona over us and a handful of others. He's sitting out this year but it will be interesting to see how well he does next season.

IIRC, Sledge announced his commitment to ISU live on ESPNU and now he is playing D-III ball. Wow!!

I can't help but having this vision, that Fred sent Marvin Clark to Michigan State and said "Go and learn how to defend in our minor league system at MSU and transfer back after 2 years and we'll show you off offensively."

Reid Travis is having a nice year, but looks like he is out with a stress fracture.

Watched the UNLV @ KU game yesterday. Vaughn had 10 points and was noticeably off the floor during the final minutes when UNLV was trying to make a come back. And was off absent most of the game. He also had 4 TO's.

He hid in the corner most of the time awaiting a swing pass much like Naz does in our system.

Watching this Duke-NCST game and Kyle Washington would have been the perfect big to team with Georges. Abu is a bit of a McKay type with 25+ pounds. Damn. When we get lucky and hit on a full class look out.

So, Michigan State, winners of 2 NCAA titles, 13 Big Ten championships, 17 consecutive NCAA appearances, 8 Final Fours, and two coaches in the NCAA Hall of Fame is now our minor league system. We have some seriously delusional people on this board.
