Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I'm totally up in the air on this one. Logically you can make a pretty good argument that we should be favored, but history tells us that there is a kick to the nads coming.

Either way, Fred is taking this program to the next level one way or another. If he lands Vaughn, it would hopefully pay dividends in future recruiting, but I have no doubt that Fred will get it done with or without RV.

Like I said a few months ago, win or lose on Vaughn, it will be a good learning experience for the fans because this is the type of battle we're going to be in a lot with CFH at the helm. Getting Vaughn will be balls deep, but losing him won't be the end of the world and that is Fredtastic.

I don't care what anyone says, I'm wearing my nut cup on Saturday just in case.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

To me, it comes down to Fran Fraschilla's point on Georges the other night in reference to whether you'd rather have Nerlens Noel for 1 year or Georges for 4. If we get Rashad, great-- he is as elite of talent as we have ever had on cam pus and will push our team to the next level next year. If we don't, I have no doubt Fred will bring in a great players that will give us 4 good years (if a Freshman) or 2 or 3 good years (if a JUCO).

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Wow.......UNLV lost to Colorado State by 18 last night.

I really thought this thread would be at 10,000 posts by the time I looked at it this morning, but it still has a ways to go.

To reach the 10,000 posts by Saturday, and just in case RV reads this site and this thread, I suggest the following. Stop talking about why he might choose ISU, or UNLV, or whoever else, or what everybody else is saying about this........and instead post the reasons you think ISU is the right choice for him. No begging, no pleading.....just facts about ISU and why it is a great place for a 5-star basketball player to go to school and play basketball.

Here......I'll start.

Fred Hoiberg
Open, free NBA-style of offense that fits RV's style of play
Fantastic fan support
Hilton Magic
Big 12 Basketball...BCS conference
Beautiful campus
Great academics


Exposure! I live in DC and I have watched all but I think 4 ISU games on national TV. And usually in prime time. UNLV is hardly ever on TV and when they are it is usually after primetime on the East coast.

Winning! Rashad can go to UNLV and they may or may not jell into a winning team. We are going to win next year with or without Rashad. He can only take us to a higher level.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Not that it means a whole lot...but a lot of the crystal ball predictors are switching their predictions from ISU to UNLV.

Rashad Vaughn's Crystal Ball Predictions

Maybe it's just me, but I find that website very difficult to decipher and interpret. It seems a little bit outdated from the link; I didn't even see a 2014 date on anything.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

It will be interesting to read some posts on this site if he goes elsewhere. I want him to go to Iowa State...it would be very exciting. But I am not counting on it...no inside info nor have I done any research on it. Just feels like he will go elsewhere due to the events of this sort in our past!

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Crystal ball predictors trolling us for web clicks?
I don't like switches this close to the announcement. I think late Friday and early Saturday predictions will be most accurate.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

No, they aren't. That is exactly the same as it was yesterday in regards to those two schools. Even the percentages are the same. Nice try though.

The percentages have changed but for some reason it displays the change only on his main profile page...

Rashad Vaughn

Also of note three guys that predicted ISU on the 2/4/13 have switched their prediction to UNLV on 2/5/13.

Why do people continue to say stupid **** like this based on nothing? Are you the same guys that when ISU is down early in a game and you start spewing how players suck and you are turning off the game? I just don't understand it. If you have credible info, post it, otherwise just being pesimistic for no reason seems like a ****** way to live.
