In my daily Twitter search of "Iowa State" and "Iowa St", I found this tweet from somebody who covers Arkansas recruiting. He claims we are involved with these two 2017 recruits.



That was his response to a tweet from someone asking him for more info on those two recruits. Here was his original tweet with the names of the 2017 recruits.

Nice find, Thompson. I know Osabuohien was mentioned earlier this week.

A lot of people still didn't think Matt Thomas was good even after he actually played here for two years, enough though he clearly had potential.

Way too many people here think true freshman are finished products.

Melvin somehow went from "not a Big 12 caliber player" to Big 12 player of the year. Anyone that said the former should never comment on basketball again.

That's simply not true, at least on CF. Posters thinking not All-Big 12? Sure. People just thinking we needed someone else starting? A small group. But you'd have trouble finding more than two or three people on CF that thought he wasn't good as a junior.

He said two years, so as a Sophomore. And there were plenty that were unsure of him, including Fred.

He would have been a sophomore his second year, and yes... there were plenty.

He supposedly has around a 40" vertical.

Okay, posters have indicated he can jump, has size, can dunk, can block. So with all these Edozie role projections, what are people saying? Can't dribble, can't catch, can't play team defense, can't shoot....what exactly is it that everyone seems to be saying (or not saying)?

I've read all of those. And it may be more of a doesn't or hasn't than can't. There were streams of his juco games at one time, too, if you want to look.

With his athleticism and size, if he could dribble, catch, play team defense, and shoot he'd be an AA level guy.

Hmm, I read "even after he played here two years" meaning as meaning after his sophomore year. Interesting that you think he played as a sophomore after he played two years. Let's keep that a secret.

Unsure means a lot of things other than not good. There were not a lot of people that didn't think he was good at the beginning of his junior year, including Fred.

Are you ********? After two years means after his sophomore season, before his junior season. You know, the time of year it is now that people are writing off Long because he didn't really play as a freshman in a similar situation to Naz Long his freshman year.
