I truly think Feazell is underrated. I think he has a pretty good amount of size, athleticism and touch.
My guess is he will end up playing like a top 80 guy.

BREAKING: Feazell commits

Agree with all of this. Feazell is a good candidate for a solid rotation guy on a top 30 team. Thats nothing to sneeze at.
Yep. Recruiting is very much a hit or miss proposition. Just going with the available info, it's reasonable to think he'll eventually at least crack the rotation and contribute meaningful minutes. Good get by Prohm to keep the momentum going after landing Lewis.
I brought up Cam Lard earlier this morning expecting a thread derailment but I was so wrong about the derailment topic.
so you brought it back up again in the afternoon to try and get a thread derailment?
Recruiting websites are fun but don't take them so seriously people. These "experts" and their rankings are not the word of God.
Nobody can project if a player is going to underachieve or overachieve at the next level. They're meant to give people an idea of how talented these players are. And everyone is going to have varying opinions. Woody was a top 50 recruit out of high school.
From the small amount of tape I've seen I think Feazell is a great pick up. I love how Prohm is getting bigs who already have the size, athleticism, and strength to step in and play immediately. Not saying they will, but they are physically able. (Solomon, Kasongo, Feazell, and Lard if he makes it). Many bigs need lots of time and attention spent towards improving their bodies for the physicality of college ball, for the most part these guys can solely work on developing their skills.

Say what you want about Scott Drew's timeout usage, but any athletic PF he wants, I want. Baylor has won 2 in a row in Hilton because of those types, sorry for the reminder. 
"Who else wanted him" is usually my metric.
As stated, if Baylor wanted a post guy, I think I'm happy having him.

Feazell development is far from done, he has the skills to contribute. I will defer to the Staff's rating of Keshawn in their system over scouts projecting players in 4 years.
Though it has been a small sample size the staff seems to have a good eye of talent and identifying younger lower rated prospect before they blowup and get national attention. Feazell was the top priority for the staff this year and the convinced him to come to Ames. Cyclone fans will enjoy watching him play in Hilton.
Ideally KSF will be on similar path as Ejim 3 star stretch PF who exceeds his ranking and was a great Cyclone. Nobody debates his ranking now though I assume his CF commitment thread had the some of the same doubter posts.

I agree with what you are saying. But did you really just acronym his name? Already? And KeyShawn is the same name so no need for the S, even though it is capitalized in his name.Feazell development is far from done, he has the skills to contribute.

this guy looks more Jon Motley than Georges Niang to me and I'm not even mad. We're going to be playing a little differently going forward...basically like A&M last season is how I envision our style. Maybe a little faster offense with a less pressurized half court defense to make the possessions work.

I am aware, but KF is also short for a certian FB coach over to the east. I don't want to associate those vibes with KeyShawn. If someone wants to find his middle initial I am game for using that too. KSF does have a certain flow to it IMO.
247 sports has KeyShawn rated our 15th best recruit since 2000. That is 15th out of 59 recruits. Lewis is the 6th best recruit. Great start to the class.
It looks to me like KeyShawn is very athletic for 6'9". We haven't been able to land very many guys will his size and athleticism. He has the potential to be a real stud.

The sky is the limit if Prohm can take us to another sweet 16 or better. We certainly have the talent to do so. Our depth is just fantastic compared to last year. One more great year and Prohm solidifies himself a bonified D1 coach post-Hoiberg and the new recruit pipeline will flow quite well. Exciting time to be a Cyclone.
I'd rather have a derailment on Lard than on Prohm vs Hoiberg.
Who cares where you start out, it's where you finish that counts. Kentucky constantly gets 4 and 5 star guys, how many National Championships have they won in the last 10 years.
I really think we should have to past a drug test or an IQ test to post.
