Beat the **** out of three wrestlers downtown one evening.
Ed Horton Kantrail Horton....been a lot of Horton ballers in state of Iowa. Ed was probably my favorite hawk player. His game reminds me of both of the other Hortons too.. should be fun!
With respect, I don't believe THT's skill set is much like Ed Horton's at all. Granted, I watched Ed play a lot more than I've watched THT thus far.
Ed Horton was also very good, but he was a different sort of player. I think we mostly all know Kantrail's game.
Skill set no. Frame and build and physicality yes. He is more kantrail now but he is just 16. All 3 Hortons are tanks!
The final definitive word to put that story to bed (THT's mom).
Prohm’s methods are working. I love how hard they go after guys, and then if they fail, they just move on to the next. I feel like Prohm could lose 5 guys in a row and still not lose the quiet confidence with how he does things.
Also confirmed elsewhere that her and Talen were the only ones that knew his decision.
She is! Her twitter feed reads like a CF regular's might. Great job by Coach Prohm selling the family and THT on why they will love being part of our ISU family, and their willingness to step away from what everyone expected them to do in order to find the best fit.
This is going to be So. Much. Fun.
She’s no doubt a big reason why THT is well-spoken and handled his recruitment with maturity. I can see why the type of drama that seems to follow Underwood wouldn’t be as appealing as Prohm to THT and his family.

We may have another Monte Morris mom type celebrity in Ames.
The only problem is, she's moving to Georgia next year. Otherwise, I'd agree.
So Roy Marble helped us land Monte Morris and Eddie Horton helped us land THT.... now the question is who is BJ Armstrong gonna help us get?
I was watching more THT's highlights last night...man this kid is fun to watch in every phase of the game!
Physically I think he may end up similar to Nader given that he's only 16, a little taller and thinner eventually but still with a huge muscular frame. I see bits and pieces of Nader, Royce, Niang, and Burton...but his defensive instincts seem to be better than all of them. I didn't see footage of Deonte in HS but I can't imagine his game looked this polished that young.
I couldn't get over some of the effortless blocks he has, I guess Burton was like that a bit at times but man sometimes I thought it was going to be a highlight basket for the other player and THT would just effortlessly slap the ball away. It's hard to imagine a better fit for ISU basketball having seen some of these versatile players come through the past 6-8 years.
Seems like a really great kid too in the clips where they interview him or show him with teammates.
