TOE has their point guard. Just ask Margaret.
Top 60 recruit Jalen Terry decommits from Michigan State
- Thread starter Cyherb
- Start date
Saw those. Just didn't know if anyone had new info as some of those are likely full up while there might be new interests. Sometimes when a player decommits they already know where they want to go, but I haven't read anything that says Terry is locked in on one school.
Reading some Spartans hoops forums, I am getting a consistent thought that this was pushed by his family/"Handlers". It is MSU fans speculating and we all know what that can be like, seeing it on here regularly. But they seem convinced that he was being pushed to not go MSU before he even committed and the commitment from Hoggard was the straw that broke the camels back for his corner.
I mean this should probably just be assumed with like 95% of the top 100 nowadays.
Dad is very involved. ISU will try and get back in with Terry but Helicopter Dad will scare a lot of people off and maybe even Prohm.
That is more it than anything for me. Curious to see how Prohm navigates these waters
I never understood this. Most dads are involved in their kids picking a school. Mine chose the military and I was at every recruiting meeting to make sure they were not telling him crap that was no true to get him to join them. It's not being a helicopter dad. IT's being a dad who cares about their kid. I would be nervous about parents who don't pay attention to what the kid is doing and don't care.
With less than a month before signing period you have to think Iowa States prior relationship with him and Prohms track record of sending PGs to the league bodes very well for us. Terry took an official visit to Ames last November. 247 doesnt show any other confirmed OVs other than Michigan State.
How do you not understand the difference between what they're talking about and an involved parent?
His first line admits he doesn't understand
I would be all for this if our classes were more even. If someone was pushed out it would potentially be a player who would be a Sr next season. Being that there would only be 2 Sr players on next year's team anyways that would in turn leave 1 scholarship open for the 2021 Class. I know there is always movement and rosters are always very fluid. I just don't see it being a good idea in the long run.
How do you know his dad isn't just an involved parent who wants the best for his kid? You part of the recruiting team or something? Fans on message boards always say this type of thing when a kid decommits or commits somewhere else.
That is assuming Terry would want to commit in the early signing period.
Considering there is only a month left he may opt to sign in the spring. I'd guess hes even likely to wait at this point. He was just recruited over at MSU and may want to see what the roster situation would be in April for the school he chooses. Could actually benefit ISU, the staff will know the roster situation at that point too.
Of course if he already has decided on a school when he decommitted that point is mute.
If a top 50 player is interested, you pursue him. If he wants to commit, you make room. If Foster and Terry were to commit (with Halliburton going pro), you can definitely find a guy to show the door.
I know it feels dirty, but the guy probably wouldn't get a chance to see the floor.
^ Probably the best insider on this site. Thanks for your information. Just know it is appreciated
Because someone (arctic) that has sources with the basketball program said it. There is definitely a difference between an involved parent and a helicopter parent.
I'm not going to sit and ask you who it would be. But I don't see a player on the roster that wouldn't get a chance to play and the guy that most believe woyld be pushed out will play this year alot.
Terry would be a program changer at the most important position in college basketball. If he wants to come to Iowa State you do whatever necessary to make it happen.
I wouldn't say he's a program changer. Similar ranking to Wigginton and Horton-Tucker.
