Indeed? A post demonstrating absolute ignorance is a post of the week?!!
I do, however, care about someone making insulting and ignorant comments about a recruit when he and his family are on campus.
First point of ignorance. Where is this magical "someone" going to come from? Oh, certainly, perhaps in the '10 class, but not anyone who'll be on the field next season.
Second point of ignorance. Yes, our receiver recruiting has been "good". However, Money Reynolds is a special player, a cut above.
JJ Bass was a good player, at a time when we desperately needed a running back. Indeed, he's shown flashes, and more than flashes, but I don't think it's his athletic ability that has kept him derailed. At best, a case of apples and oranges.
Points of ignorance #3 and #4. First off, Money has played wide receiver parts of the last two years, most especially at the end of this season, apparently because he plans to go to a school with an established quarterback (hmm. I wonder where that could be?).
Which makes the second point entirely asinine, because Money is sacrificing his dream of playing quarterback partially because Austen Arnaud has established himself as he quarterback and team leader, and pressing for the job would only cause strife--not because he "isn't good enough".
All right. Show me a buttload. Even better, show me one--with current interest in ISU.
Point of ignorance #5. It's his ability, or, of you prefer, his video that makes him a special player. If you want it explained simply, he's Leonard Johnson six inches taller and a tick faster. Iowa State hasn't exactly had a "buttload" of those.
This doesn't seem terribly complicated. He likes the fanbase and enthusiasm here on CF, and is happily sharing details with us, fans of a place where he wouldn't mind seeing his brother play. He's said that before, however, I'm not terribly surprised you haven't picked up on it.
The simple answer seems to be that it's none of your business. Obviously the family has chosen to keep a number of details of Money's recruiting private, rather than splashing it all over the internet, and I'll happily respect their decision.
Both of you amply demonstrating your ignorance. First, as mentioned before, Money has played receiver--which should entirely dispel the argument. Second, Michael Crabtree had never played wide receiver before going to Texas Tech. He seems to be doing all right. Thirdly, Darius Darks had "never played wide receiver" before coming to ISU. Fourthly, Leonard Johnson had never played cornerback before coming to ISU--and yet is decidedly an impact player--who will continure to improve. Do I really need to keep going? So neither of you knows what you're talking about.
That's even aside from the fact that Money Reynolds isn't being recruited as someone who can "turn our program around"--he's being recruited as someone who can make the program better. As all of Gene Chizik's recruits are.
Funny. It never occurred to you that his brother "scoffed" at the idea of Money being a "third receiver", because it was in a scoffing, insulting context in the first place? Or that, unlike you, he has actually seen his brother play, and has some idea of his abilities, and therefore confidence in him?!!!
:biglaugh::biglaugh:
Fortunately, it's not up to you, I'm reasonably sure, to decide to "take him". And what has given you any idea that he doesn't "work hard, is a good teammate and student"?
Nothing like trying to cover your *** after thoroughly insulting a player and his family up and down the line.
