Besides Carlson and Foster. Who else are we considered "Warm" with right now. Have heard berry's name a few times. For some reason I am thinking Dudley Blackwell, because well his name is Dudley and that stands out.

I personally hope they can wedge their way in with Chris Moore. I Think he has the ability to blow up here towards the end of his prep career.

I think Jamari Sibley is worth keeping an eye on in that list as well.

Kid/guardians don’t like isu or Prohm. Nothing personal but they want to play for a bigger school better coach. I can respect that at least they’re honest early in the process rather than string isu along just because they’re from Des Moines

Are you his handler or do you know him personally?

I know it is early and we only have two spots open (as things stand right now), but this could be shaping up to be another special class if things work out correctly.

Kid must have NBA ready potential. Mixed blessing as he'd likely leave after one season and that to me is no way to build. Just curious why Artic Zone and not Arctic Zone?

I think the staff's plan for the past couple of years was to go big game hunting to the top prospects in 2020.
2018 class was the best in ISU history with THT, Zion, Tyreese and George, who the staff belives to be the backbone of the present team.
2019 was more of a developmental class who would get a couple years behind the 2019 class to be ready to step in as upperclassmen.
2020 is to get a couple immediately impactfull 4-5 stars to take over for 2018's departures.

Other than THT leaving early was likely unexpected this year everything is on track for Prohm to focus on 2-3 major recruits this summer. (Foster, Carleson, Sibley, Murrell, Blackwell or yet to be known prospect)

That was a very astute post.

You can give up on Suggs and Sibley. They are locks for Iowa from what I hear.

Are you his handler or do you know him personally?

I don't know how or even if this Artic Zone knows the guardians but I do personally. First the people saying handler-that is a complete NO. That couldn't be further from the truth. Second, the Prohm part is somewhat true because of how they recruited Issa. They were told some things by the ISU staff. But I think we all know he wasn't good enough to play for ISU so I don't blame the staff. Third, N'Faly has really never lived in Iowa. They lived in Arkansas before moving back to Iowa and that is where N'Faly mostly lived before going to Sunrise. N'Faly loves the SEC because that is what he watched and that is why you are seeing mostly SEC schools. The guardians have let him make all the decisions. They would love for him to play here so they could watch him but it is not going to happen. We never had a chance.
