Update on Williamson, safe to say the staff has prioritized him for 2019.

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals...-list-of-contenders-heavy-with-big-12-schools

Baylor: “I really like Baylor. Their skill development is the thing they do best. They develop guys and send them to the NBA.”
Kansas: “I talk to coach Jerrance Howard pretty regularly, like once or twice a week. Their fans are crazy. I went up there for the West Virginia game and I went for Late Night at the Phog. It was awesome.”
Iowa State: “They’ve told me I could come in and play the one through the four and could play a lot early. They are on me hard.”
Texas: “I really like coach Shaka [Smart]. They have a lot of really good guards and I like their system.”
Texas A&M: “I think they have had three guys declare for the NBA Draft. They had a great run in the NCAA Tournament and killed North Carolina. I really like coach [Billy] Kennedy and coach [Ulric] Maligi. I’ve built a great relationship with him. I went there when they beat Kentucky by like 20 and it was crazy.”

Quick Rivals note on recent 2019 offer to Mylik Wilson...

Over the weekend, slender scorer Mylik Wilson from Rayville (La.) and Woodz Elite picked up his first high-major offer from Iowa State. Currently ranked No. 118 in the 2019 Rivals 150, Wilson can fill it up from deep or off of the dribble and I doubt that the Iowa State offer will be his last before the end of his junior year.

I wonder what changed that made us pursue Carton considering he “blew up” or at least burst onto the scene last summer and we didn’t offer then. Either way I’m not getting my hopes up with him, although he would be a big pickup.

If you look at the PG play under Prohm (Monté, NWB and Wigginton), compared to the anemic PG play under Fran - who would you rather play for? Now, I'm not suggesting that it is between IA and ISU - but if it were, you'd be completely foolish to go to the Hoks. Not only has Fran not been able to develop strong guard play, any recruit is going to have his hands full trying to pry minutes away from his kids.

The Cyclones aren't scheduled to visit four-star PF E.J. Liddell this week. But he's still No. 1 on the @DMRsports Iowa State basketball recruiting big board. Five of the other nine prospects on the board are guards.

Solid list of the ISU priorities for the 4 scholarships, though I'd argue Anderson, Tandy and Williamson would be higher than Carton in the pecking order at this point.
It is a Register article so I can see why they'd like to keep local prospects high on their board.

No Mention of Issa Samake. I am pretty confident he has not been offered a scholarship yet. Even though he says he has.
I’m pretty sure it was Bain from the register who tweeted recently that the offer Samake got a while back is no longer on the table.

I probably think it was never on the table. Why would we offer him and then pull it. He was always a project.
