We are going against some teams with a lot of hardware. Our recruiting will get easier once the coaches get some rings to wear.
It sounds like you're still butthurt over Fred leaving to chase his NBA dreams.
We aren't recruiting against a bunch of champions. Tennessee and Oregon appear to be the biggest competition out there for us.
Baylor, TCU, Arizona State are a couple others that come to mind from who we competed with this year.

What I wouldn't do to make just one person with blinders on understand that it had nothing to do with ISU and everything to do with being an NBA guy and chasing a dream. ISU could have offered more money than the Bulls and he still probably would be coaching in the NBA. Fred has stated numerous times that he loves ISU and it wasn't anything ISU did wrong.
How can fans not wrap their heads around this? Fred was also on the record after he left expressing his dislike for recruiting and having to babysit. He was very vocal on how much he disliked the recruiting process. Certainly explains why he put so much focus towards the "free agency approach."
Please...let's not turn this thread into another Hoiberg argument. Start a new thread if you want to open up a debate about Hoiberg.
So Wigginton, hopefully he comes here. I wonder what plan B is he if he doesn't. I'm really happy we got McNeill though
Doesn't like babysitting but doubt he expected the bulls roster to shape up the way it did.
I'm still trying to figure out how Fred, Larry, Morgan, Floyd and Gmac cause us to lose (probably) Wigginton???
Prohm has been in place for 16 months now and Fred left him with a Sweet 16 caliber team. Any recruiting successes and failures will be owned by him, not Fred or Gmac.
I hope he comes here, too. If not, we move on to plan B, which, I believe, is Sexton. He'd be an alright consolation prize.
Haha, if Sexton was our plan B we would be in the perfect situation! I'm assuming you're being sarcastic, but we all know Sexton isn't coming to ISU.
I still really like our chances with landing Wigginton.
We will be plan C or D for Sexton. We more or less cooled on Sexton so as not to scare off the more realistic Wigginton.
It will be virtually impossible to suddenly reverse course and get back in on a top 20 kid.
I'd much rather get a transfer PG than taking a chance on a lightly recruited HS kid but in all reality we still have Jackson and McNeill next year who can play PG
I actually agree with the first two sentences. Face it, Prohm is a young coach. If this was his 4th or 5th season of consistent success at Iowa St, things might be different.
It might feel shameful to lose a recruit to a program that has little exposure and less fan support, but there's no denying Dana is a damn good coach, and is building quite the program. Hell they were a #1 seed last spring.
You see, if everybody knows that a recruit is going to commit elsewhere, nobody cares... it's all part of the plan.
But if one little prognosticator flips his crystal ball and says our recruit is gone, well then everybody loses their minds!!!
