I need to find the post from HR/HN where the poster stated something along the lines of "ISU fans won't appreciate XF like Iowa fans would because ISU fans just see a 4 star talent while Iowa fans have been watching him the last 4 years".

Appreciate him like Iowa fans would... they don't even appreciate the players they DO have. If they did, it wouldn't be a morgue in there every home game.

Hawk fans are the best, just ask Zach McCabe

I tried pasting a screen shot, guess it didn't take.

This is actually pretty true in that Foster isn’t an explosive athlete in that he doesn’t jump high etc but he is a very fluid athlete as he moved really well for a big. He isn’t lumbering. But saying his shot isn’t athletic makes zero sense. How is a shot athletic?

Silly Illiniowans. Iowa State is the state university of Iowa.

Not to worry, it won't be long and he'll be back to his old self. Probably arguing that Haliburton would make a nice 11th man on the Hawks giving Frederick and Connor an occasional breather, but the only reason he'd take Haliburton is that he's got enough sense to wear a "vs. Everybody" shirt, which is a clear shout out and show of deference to Patrick McCaffery.

There was nothing more predictable than the progression of Dean Vogs posts on CF:

- Post #1 in a thread was something pro-hawk but reasonable
- CF posters argue with him
- A few posts of elevating irrationality and insults by DeanVogs
- Then by post #4-5 he throws a full-on hissy fit and claims something wildly idiotic that essentially says there's never been an ISU athlete as good as the worst hawk athlete in the history of either program.

Pretty hilarious over there about how quite a few folks are saying a lot about Fran not being able to recruit which is evident with the no star recruits they have. Prohm grabs a 3 star player just the other day and old DeanDoggers calls Prohm a Goober. What has Fran done in the last few days.............

It always amazes me how Hawkeye nation.com is stuck in some weird time warp/recruiting vortex. They have no clues about how crystal balls work or how 247 works in general and they seem to only reference rankings based on ESPN recruiting. It’s so weird. Someone that has a username over there start a thread to help them out.

I will never watch a commitment announcement live again after the Harrison Barnes disaster.
