2007-2008 Record Change

I thought I had heard of Gillespie having a tie-in with the AIA team WJ toured with last summer, thanks for filling in the details.

So if Gillespie had not taken the Kentucky job, Wesley would most likely be a Cyclone still since the penalty was too severe going to another Big 12 school. Billy must have working this for awhile as wesley sounded unhappy for awhile. Maybe some multiple contact calls? So just how close is Billy related to Kelvin Sampson?
 
I'm pretty sure it was all of you PRAISING Wes that have now FLIP FLOPPED. He went from being a savior to the most hated person at ISU...




I wouldn't say "all" because there are a lot of us who haven't "flopped" or are just being neutral.
 
What if Iowa State grants Wesley a release on the condition that he can't go to Kentucky. Would this not stick it to Gillespie, if they were tampering?

That is a very good idea. I hope that is the case because this one has a certain odor to it.
 
People that sneak out the back door in the middle of the night usually do that because they have something to hide. $$$$$?
 
Well, it's worth nothing IF there was ANY sort of tampering or communication regarding a transfer this past year.

What are the rules, can they contact his brother, his former AAU coach?

In the end I have no doubt that Kentucky, if that is where he goes and if they did something wrong, will not suffer any consiquences for their actions, but I would like to know the rules.
 
Come on people. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
 
This thread became very amusing to me now that we know Wesley hasn't made up his mind and is considering several schools. I guess there isn't a conspiracy against ISU hoops.

How do we know that? Based on what Wes said? The same guy that skated in the middle of the night?

While I don't completely discredit it, I can't completely buy it either.

Right on. Everyone should know by now there are "made for media" answers to questions and real answers to questions. I think Wes is telling reporters that he doesn't know where he is going but I suspect that isn't the whole truth.
 
Perhaps. But if Jeremy's post is correct and he's considering Michigan then that sort of changes this whole thread up, doesn't it?

IMO, this thread is trying to deflect the possibility that he really just didn't get along with Mac and he really did just want a new spot. No no, there has to be tampering!

Most likely the truth is somewhere in the middle. If he loved Mac we wouldn't be having this conversation, but I find it hard to believe that there isn't something else going on.

Sadly, you are correct with how questions are answered in the media...I suspect that Mac's answers to the press conference today will be filtered and we will move on...Let's face it...the only solution to the problem is winning.
