Jayden Nunn Decommits

Here is just an observation from what I've read. I don't think the people that are saying TJ "should of reached out" are upset that Nunn decommitted. TJ needs to be the one that unltimately decides on who he wants in the program. I think it's mostly the fact that it is the right thing to do and tell a high school kid that the new staff wouldn't be honoring that scholarship. Atleast that's how I feel about it. In the grand scheme of things, it's not that big of deal. It's a real possibility that the kid also felt butthurt and felt this was a way to get in a dig at the new coach.
Well, Matt Campbell did the same thing when he started out at ISU...
If TJ ends up doing to the MBB program what CMC did, I will be more than happy to be called an idiot. Wouldn't be the first time I was dead wrong and won't be the last.
Cogent point.
But I don't make the rules here and you are an Otzelberger hater for making it.
The reason people despise this forum is everyone wants to reduce every discussion to straw man fighting and it's a little pathetic.
If he did not fit into TJs vision then its good for all involved but i presume or hope it was professionally done by the lead recruiter if still on the staff. A 6 4 pt guard from Flint will find a landing spot as will Tyler and the others.
Right, and I appreciate that. The real point is, it’s not unusual at all in college sports. Hell, it had only been what, three days? I think a lot of fans are nitpicking and being overly dramatic about something that is not at all outside the norm.
Fair point. I hope it was just genuinely a miscommunication thing and given TJs recruiting reputation he can replace that spot with someone who can be a building block moving forward.
Otz didn’t make him a priority the half week he’s been here and the writing was probably on the wall. And that’s ok. I wish the kid good luck going forward.
I don’t think the problem here is whether the new staff wanted him or not. It’s the optics that are the issue. A coach could look at this and say that TJ doesn’t care about his players and therefore said coach could steer players away from ISU. Not something you want to start with especially on the recruiting trail.
I know there’s a lot going on, but a quick text to all committed recruits letting them know you’ll call them soon once the staff has been nailed down to talk.

nobody here will ever know what really happened. a unsigned player has all the power here because a coach cannot publicly give his side of the story so it could just be sour grapes. time to move on.
You are so excited about a recruit that nobody on this site has argued that we actually need. I can’t wait to see your reaction after T.J’s first loss. Actively working to undercut the hire full-time in the last week. Very impressive.
Seriously. I have not said TJ should have kept him. Find anywhere where I’ve said that I disagree with removing his scholarship offer. I’ll wait.
I’m only saying that maybe a bit of diplomacy in dumping him might have been in order.
