Testifying
I hope you are right. I just hate getting my hopes up and then being disappointed

Why is everyone so sure we will get him? I get that his dad is on staff, but what if he gets offered 350k from some team? Will we offer NIL?
Certainly no guarantee. However, I don't think $$ is as big a deal to him as most players since he comes from a well-off family, and we can probably still get him something, even if it's not the maximum pay day he could get elsewhere.

"We landed on the moon" is information that is out everywhere and you are a fool for not know it. You aren't helping your cause trying to denigrate the plebs who don't pay for premium.
The funny thing is there wasn't any concrete information on what AJ was going to do on the premium board. Not sure what he's going on about.

No one is "sure" of anything, but the first hurdle to clear with the kid was convincing him to even leave UNI. I think that was a bigger hurdle to clear rather than convincing him to take less NIL money at ISU given all our connections

I’m giving my money to NIL deals. Getting players is more important to me than finding out ten minutes earlier than everyone else that we got that player
CycloneFanatic does NiL deals....just saying.....

I know what. Someone Insert video of redhead making the heart gesture around her mouth.

Sources say there is $500,000 for whoever ends up playing the most minutes at PG for ISU MBB next season.

Wasn't Kyle Green keeping an apartment in Ames because his wife ran a business in Cedar Falls or something? So if AJ comes here, this has the makings of a great buddy comedy as dad and son move in together and live the multi-generational bachelor life. Can't wait for all the misadventures and hijinks to ensue.

If we get Green and Vander Plas, it would definitely take the sting off of surprisingly losing Hunter. This is only 11 scholarship players too; there would still be 1-2 more spots to fill, whether that's Gabe returning for a 5th year or adding Basile, Abogidi from Wazzu, Souley Boum from UTEP, or another name not yet in the portal.

True, and besides that...reporter Bain said from the 'get-go' that he would test the waters and maybe there's the possiblility of a transfer but it wouldn't be ISU. I'm not hanging my hat on just one source, but I'm also not expecting him here at all.....so at least I'll be the happiest surprised fan if he does.

Correct, Michelle runs a very successful chiropractic clinic in Cedar Falls.

My own personal opinion and I could be way off-base, but I've always felt Bain is almost guessing a lot of the time with his recruiting reporting. He seems late on everything.
