***Official Thon Maker Recruitment Thread***

[allfourcy]

Iowa state must be on there, must be a mistake!

Never said I believed we had any chance whatsoever, but just reporting the info. Guess I should have expected the sarcasm. Some posters claimed certain gurus had us on his list, that's all.

Well, I think we can officially end any pipe dream about Thon. He was just interviewed live on ESPN and when asked what schools he's looking at he listed 5 or so. None of which were ISU. They were ASU, Indiana, someone else I forgot, and are you ready?......... none other than Kansas, and St. Johns. Lovely.

He never clarified, we are his obvious #1, then those 5 after us.

Geez, does Prohm even know how to recruit? I mean this kid is right there for taking. Mediocrity, here we come....

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Sorry Dandy.

Well this and the fact that it has been reported we haven't actually been recruiting him outside of initial feelers. Outside of posters on this site and Jerry Meyer reacting to him going to our game with his team their hasn't been any real link.

I fear for his academic eligibility if he can't spell Iowa State correctly.

Understandable....he's from Australia.

But how many languages does he speak?

 

[carvers4math]

But how many languages does he speak?

Klingon, Sanskrit, and Parseltongue.

 

[NorthCyd]

Klingon, Sanskrit, and Parseltongue.

What, no middle earth elvish?

He's still a student. Plus that Galadriel was a little cray cray.

Would.

 

[carvers4math]

Would.

Arwen? Never a fan of how much stuff they made up for her in the movie.

Thon needs to learn his elvish from Elrond or Arwen's other daddy, Steven Tyler.

Nope, not Arwen. Galadriel was much better.

 

[carvers4math]

Nope, not Arwen. Galadriel was much better.

Of course, she had a ring of power, but you probably interested in her other powers.:smile:

Watching Diallo ride the pine should really help sell him on KU.

Hopefully Diallo comes back and KU doesn't get Thon Maker.

Agreed.

Makes sense, Thon wants to see Iowa State play in person again.
