With as little as we're hearing from the player side we're likely casting a very small net. Hopefully they hit on the few that they do go after.
Transfer recruiting is a lot different than prep recruiting. You're not getting the early jump via relentless and deft evaluation. It's almost all about relationships. Imo if it's tough to make out the connection to the transfer we're not likely to have a good chance. It doesn't seem like many quality guys available have connections to the staff. Then again, with what we lose we do have a ton to sell, and competent recruiters should at least land some visits from grad transfers and redshirting guys.
I don't know if Martin actually was talking to him though. I think Mizzou fans were hoping he would ask out of his LOI. Brad Underwood went to Groce's recruits and talked them into reaffirming their commitments.If Tillman is signed with Illinois, isn't that illegal (tampering)?
Go get that Bacon Prohmy (Or just hire their dad!)!
They're 2 years apart and their hometowns are 260 miles from each other. By your logic should a basketball player from Cedar Rapids know all basketball players from Council Bluffs?
I hope Shayok does visit but I don't think there's any connection there other than our coaches started following him on twitter last week.
Yeah, transfers have been through the process and know better what they want and don't want, and have an idea of where they would fit. It's also a lot about trust, and I like Coach Prohm's chances in a contest of character and sincerity.
More and more I'm not sure that character and sincerity is really what most high level transfers are looking for.
I would like to believe that is what they're after, but I don't see it very often.

True. It's probably a bigger impact in our recruitment of Thornton (Memphis is also interested) than anything.Would think Dedrick would just go pro.
KJ: 6-7 wing 12.3 ppg 8.1 rpg 2.8 apg
Sit 1 play 3
Dedric: 6-9 wing 19.2 ppg 9.9 rpg 3.3 apg
Sit 1 play 2.
Both are from Memphis, TN

good thing we still have this years transfer market!Well, if we are struggling two years in a row in the transfer market it may be time to make room on the staff.
Big gets are coming, hopefully. They'll never have more to sell.good thing we still have this years transfer market!
You do realize that guys at that level play AAU ball together for years? Do you think all the Iowa kids that play for the Barnstormers don't know each other? There are kids from around the state.
I doubt it's a great connection, not one that wins you a commitment. But it's enough to gain you a chance to recruit him, given what we know about transfer recruiting from around the country the past several years. Even a close mutual connection is often good enough.Alright well when Marial commits to ISU and cites his relationship with Naz as a key reason I'll gladly eat crow.
