Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I wonder what it's like for a guy his age coming from fairly modest background to have the entire college basketball world contantly checking where you are going and continuously hounding you and the people you know for info. Must be insane.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Forgive me if I have doubts that some geek who runs a Illinois or Kentucky fan website has some inside knowledge on where Vaughn is going that somehow leaked to them......but not to anyone at CF, Chris Williams, Blum, Hines, Paul, etc anyone who have ya know...just elected to keep it to themselves.....instead of offering up some hints.

never heard of the site before it was mentioned and have only lightly heard of one person that's a journalist on that bored.

Relax Francis.


When an Iowa St. "insider" comes with something encouraging toward an Iowa St lean, then I won't be so pessimistic.

I'd get my popcorn out and enjoy the show. Which I'm sure is exactly what he's doing.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

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.

A lot of UNLV games are late on Saturday night. RV would have to have some other reason to pick that school.

Not the exposure.
Not the coach.
Not the school.
Not the conference.
Not the NCAA.

Maybe the weather.
Maybe the high rollers.
Maybe the handler.
Maybe the airline connections.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I'm always optimistic going into a sporting event in which Iowa State is involved in. I have also learned it is necessary to wear one of these, because it is important to always be prepared for that moment just in case.

The thing that RV and other top recruits don't know is that most CF posters are actually attractive 19 year old women. Not creepy men and college students. Boys are icky! gIrL PoWeR!1!1!

We should hit 10k before Saturday announcement, if there is one.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I am to the point where I hope this kid picks the Cyclones, for sure. I would be beyond elated. It is easy for us to make the case that ISU should be the clear favorite.

But, I think I am getting to the place where I just want this chapter of the saga to be over and the next chapter to begin. Either (1) RV is a Cyclone, or (2) RV goes somewhere else, CFH sings some awesome transfer that has already graduated and can play right away. Either way, ISU still continues the upward climb to the top of the Big 12.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

No joke. I don't even think RV is 100% certain. If he were, then why not announce Tuesday, or Wed, or any other day. There is nothing magical about Saturday except he has put a deadline upon himself.
Looks like we will have to take care of business on Saturday by trouncing the TCU Froggettes

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Also, I am one who hopes that if RV picks the Cyclones, his handler doesn't find his way onto the staff in any capacity. I know that's how the game is played often, but I just don't want to see it out of my team.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Go to UNLV, Make some Larry Johnson and Stacy Augman money, Play against Mighty Air Force and Boise State and a bunch of other crap colleges and for a crappy coach. Or... Go to Iowa state. Play in the best league in the country. Play for a top young coach with NBA ties near your family. Hmmm Tough decision. Then again. Not everyone is smart.

Yeah, this seems like such a slam dunk for us... and that is what makes me nervous about it.
