I think at this point it's fair to say he and his camp are ******* with everyone to generate buzz. It's funny really. We all deserve it for hanging on every single shred of social media evidence to make us try to feel better.

Couldn’t agree more. The level of confusion has been baffling. Unlike any recruitment I’ve seen. Maybe that’s a result of it being an in state battle. So many “insiders” with confidence saying completely different things.

I’m just ready for this to be over. A recruit who won’t even start isn’t worth all this BS in my opinion.

I was once told by a big donor that with certainty Harbaugh was the next coach at ISU when JP hired Chizik.
The night before Harrison Barnes announcement "insiders" were saying he was going to pick ISU. Turns out it was because Harrison invited Gary Thompson to his announcement which made them think he was going to pick ISU.

yeah Gary was pissed sitting there and watching that.

Harrison has played a lot of years in the nba. Good for him, he’s been a serviceable 3 for his entire career. But at that time he thought he was going have a brand. The crowd and the Skype thing was designed exactly for that.

I think this is another troll job, maybe more from the family than the recruit but still a huge troll job to ISU.

They were confident as Saturday morning, thought the visit was strange but still confident. Haven't heard anything since then but haven't tried. Coaches were pretty mad about the Oregon State game. I'm guessing things get leaked today and my hangover only gets worse as the days goes on

Maybe XF knows that us Clone fans are used to getting kicked in the nuts and he wanted to do that too?

Actually, at this point, I don't really care all that much. He's a decent 3 star recruit that is over hyped because he's 7 foot, so he's listed as a 4 star.

Would still be a nice get, but definitely not the end of the world.

So he got a 4 Star ranking just because he is 7 foot? Man I bet these guys wish someone got thay memo.

Curiosity has the better of me. First, mad about the game because they think we can do a lot better? Was listening on radio so tough to get a feel. Second, surprised myself if things get leaked. Foster's camp has been so quiet or tight lipped.

I think he means the Iowa game XF went to on Friday
