From the transfer thread
2022 Recruiting/Transfer Class
- Thread starter LanningIsBakersDaddy
- Start date
Would it be helpful to merge the two transfer threads? Or is the focus slightly different for each and should be kept separate? Just curious ... I check both occasionally and sometimes can't recall which I've viewed.
This thread is more about our targets and interest in players to help keep track of everything cyclone related while the other is transfers in general
Ah, OK. Thanks. Makes sense. Couldn't recall if both are in the ISU bball category ... maybe I got sidetracked by that aspect.
I don't think there is any reason to recruit a "project" player anymore.
I wonder if we will see coaches working together to stash some of these types at low majors, similar to how they used to try and stash them at a JUCO. For example TJ has a quick recruiting call with a kid but steers him towards D-Rob at Cleveland State, then if he progresses in a year or two TJ has the relationship with the player and coach to bring them in.
The only problem with that is if D-Rob is sending his best players to TJ, D-Rob will be an assistant coach at ISU in about 3-4 years
I think schools are going to need to figure out how to develop more of a connection between student-athletes and their university. If the relationship is all about sport, then they are bound to feel like a commodity open to the highest bidders.
In before some other poster suggests- NO hookers & blow is not an option. Although I think Louisville did try the former.
Haven't seen this posted yet - quick turnaround from portal to visit. Chris Williams posted our interest immediately after he declared:
It's a geotag that either Snapchat or Instagram allow you to put on a picture, nothing ISU is specifically putting out.
Would be a really good get. Wonder if it’s almost a done deal?
Nobody has said AJ is a lock. And your definition of "tons of guards" is different than most.
I'm not saying he didn't do good things. He played 15+ minutes a night, so he should of done a handful of good thing ga for us. All I'm Saying is if he doesn't play at all that would be ideal for our team.
He can't move his feet laterally, he doesn't protect the rim, he can't dribble, or facilitate, and he definitely can't shoot the ball. Hell he isn't even a great rebounder, because he can't out jump other bigs.
IMO there isn't a scenario where player like that should see the floor at a P5/P6 School. I'm not a D1 athlete, so I'm not trying to bash him. But he was suppose to be a "Banger" someone who roughed up some other bigs, and he rarely did that, especially in conference play.
I heard there is a legit chance he reclassify's and goes to college this year. Also hearing there is a very legit chance that we land him. Should know more about that in June-July though.
