With the cloud over KU how do they keep reeling them in. Shows what ISU is up against and still does pretty well.

well ask yourself what the cloud is? It’s money. If a someone gets caught cheating they don’t just stop cheating. Once a cheater always a cheater. In other words they are paying kids

PF Dawson Garcia: Marquette, Cyclones never offered but expressed interest.

Iowa State's feed school now has the #7 class.


This is a good example of ISU fans shouldn't get too upset that Hoiberg/Prohm haven't developed a pipeline to Minnesota. Currently 6 of the 8 top players in the state have committed to P5 programs outside the state. The two open commitment, Walton and Suggs, aren't expected to play for U of Minn either. ISU has recruited most of them, but losing out isn't as slight against the staff especially since Pitino can't get their commitment either, especially loosing them to their rivals of Wisc and Marq.
It would be nice to get some roots in the Twin Cities but if would be far more frustrating to lose these top players locally.
