Re: Rashad Vaughn
I remember it. I believe in a gopher hole interview. Maybe he was just planning but heck he took an unofficial to chapel hill thought he duscussed Phog and hilton said they were the tops (Compared to williams).. maybe am remembering wrong.

After a lot of research, I feel like he's going to either UNC, UK, KU, ISU or UNLV.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
It's never way too early to take a completely random guess based off of gut feel and the buzz around a player. If I am wrong, who cares? I don't have money on it. Like I said, "probably". That's only about 5% more sure than "maybe".
Vaughn has to go off of the same thing. He would be foolish to go to Kentucky or Kansas if Harrison or Selden stay in school. If he is going to make a decision in Feb/March then he will HAVE to be guessing based on his gut feel as well. I do not expect him to come to Kansas and that's fine. We have more players than we could ever find minutes for at this point.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Findlay Prep's season usually ends in April, and the signing period begins the 16th of April, so were about 70-80 days away from the Vaughn commitment if he stays true to after the season ends.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I'm not too worried about UNC. Paige is returning, and Berry is a HUGE point guard prospect that will probably give Paige a lot of time at the 2. If you throw in Justin Jackson and Theo Pinson, two recruits that play the 2 or 3, that already gives UNC four guys competing for the starting three spots. If Vaughn is added, that's 5 guys competing for 3 spots. Vaughn doesn't want competition for playing time since he wants to be a one-and-done player.
If the Harrison twins return (which they probably will), I'm confident that Kentucky is out. They've already signed a good point guard and shooting guard who, although are not as highly touted as Vaughn, will take some playing time away from him (Booker, a shooting guard, and Ulis, a point guard).
To me, UNLV doesn't stand a chance. Their coaching is awful and he would be playing in front of literally dozens of fans every night.
Not sure how I feel about Kansas, but the fact that he's not scheduling an official sounds like good news to ISU.
All of the signs point to ISU being the winner in the Rashad Vaughn sweepstakes, but ISU gets kicked in the nuts so often, that it's all but a settled deal. Let's hope that ISU's nuts don't get kicked this time. We definitely have a great shot.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I'm not sure if he did end of visiting Kansas, but he (or his camp) were always talking about going places and probably 80% of the time those plans fell through at the end.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
We are quickly approaching 10,000 posts in this thread. If Vaughn does come to ISU he could average a triple double, lead ISU to a 1 loss regular season, take ISU to the final four and lose in the Championship game and not live up to the hype that is being generated around here for him. I hope he handles 24/7 pressure well.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
RV will be a Cyclone. Nothing to base that off other than its Friday and everything seems a bit better on Friday's.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I think it comes down to UNC or ISU. If he was going to choose Kentucky or Kansas I think he wouldn't say he was making his mind up at the end of Feb or early March since he'd want to know who was most likely leaving. I think UNLV is a long shot with who they've been playing but he knows ISU and UNC really need him and will get him his shots

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Yep...no way he can live up to the hype. Predicting he will be the next Matt Thomas (message board target). Wiggins got a bit of that at KU too.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
But he has a tendancy to delay on decisions. When he was cutting his list to five, that was delayed a week or two as well. Early March could turn into mid-march. I wouldn't completely go off of what he says on a timeline.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
For me, just having Fred finally land a blue chipper will justify a lot of the hype for Vaughn, especially if he ends up being a burger boy. But I agree, for much of the fan base he has a near impossible standard to live up to.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Probably doesn't care. As long as doesn't get charged with sexual assault while here it has no affect on him.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Especially since a player like Vaughn ISN'T what ISU is missing in the games they are losing. They need quality big men at this point.
Re: Rashad Vaughn
According to trueheepfan they are bringing in so many 2015 recruits and didn't have a ticket for him for the UNC/Duke game.
