if you guys want to win the instate battle

Go figure, the gems of the class as told to us by a hawk fan are the guys that are leaning towards the hawks.
As far as EIU, they are in Eastern Iowa, yes? They are an university, yes? But I then ask you, why is Iowa State referred to as the clowns on hawkeye boards. It's all the same.
why bother with guys who have stated they have no real interest in us? ....
This. Complete waste of the staff's time and energy.
THey are the gems of the class for the state because they are the only 4 stars per rivals as of right now.
why would our staff waste any time at all on these guys who have ZERO intrest in ISU?
in-state i would rather focus on Scherff, Hoch, and others who we have a legit shot at.

Great, and they're only 3 stars on scout. That doesn't mean there are more guys out there that haven't been ranked yet. Those rankings are based a lot on who's going after them. If a coach was smart he'd try and keep anyone he's after off the radar at this point. Way too early to go off on who's got the stars behind their names.
Derby has offers from Alabama, Florida State, and Florida and will surely get more as time goes on. Why would a kid who lives in IC and has that growing offer list even consider ISU? Frankly, unless he has a man crush on Kirk Ferentz, I'll be suprised if he ends up at EIU.
As for Dawson, good Washington kids have a history of either going to EIU or out of state, like Adrian Arrington.
In state recruting will change, just give it time...:yes:

Andre Dawson is up for the hall of fame and should probably get in... in my opinion. He was a pretty feared hitter in his day. Huge gun from right field too....
oh wait.... wrong guy, who is this Andre Dawson you speak of?

I agree 100% - i think ISU has very little to any chance at these two kids similarly to Iowa having a chance at Harrison Barnes - just not going to happen.
Derby -if Iowa gets good for them, but, with his list of offers, i too will be surprised if he stays in state. But, the allure of playing in his backyard with the following including his parents may be the ticket to keep him at iowa but ISU has no chance on this kid.
Dawson - if i were Dawson, i would look at Wisconsin very hard. Similar to Iowa, they focus on the running game but Iowa has been recruiting some very good running backs as of late and i think he would stand a better chance at early playing time in Madison then at Iowa. With a schollie from Cincinnati also would be interesting because they play in a conference where he could be in a good bowl game every year and after watching them, he's the type of scat back that could really prosper in their system.
Its not that they don't have the talent to be recruited by ISU, its just i don't see these kids in Iowas backyard not either going to Iowa or out of state to a better situation then ISU at least for the time being!!!!!!
I like the comparison of Derby to HB.... hes not as big of a deal, but he is a really good player from right in their backyard, and now the big boys are coming
While I'm curious as to why hawkeye fans come to this website in the first place, I'm doubly amused when they tell ISU how to succeed and express dismay at perceived slights.
Serious question for AntiSnob and the other hawk faithful who post on Cyclone Fanatic: What's the attraction?

It refers to them as a minor, more insignificant directional school, as opposed to the natural center of the athletic universe.
I've always taken it as a poke at their superiority complex over there.
