That really shows how bad he is if a Hawk fan wishes he had gone to ISU instead.We know, he sucks. Terrible decision for the young man. If only he'd chosen to go to ISU.

Meh, if he committed to ISU, this thread would be full of the following:
"I heard he had high interest from teams like Kansas, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Florida."
"He was battling injuries, but before that he was really blowing up on the recruiting front."
"I spoke with somebody close to him, and Stanford, Virginia, and Wisconsin were very close to offering, but cooled off once we got involved."
Seriously. Every recruit Iowa is looking at, has looked at, or will look at is somehow horrible in the eyes of ISU fans. Yet, a 3 star recruit that commits to the Clones barely missed the cut at being a 5 star, and is of superior talent.
There are some shreds of truth embedded in this post. However, I think most Hawk fans would admit that the perceived talent that Lick is bringing in is less than stellar. IMO, his only chance to compete with guys like that is to have a great system, which he does. It's my thought, though, that he will only get over the hump by recruiting better guys than what's been had recently.
Heck, I once knew a guy named SouthernHawk on here that I bet would agree.:wink:
Not just in the eyes of Cyclone fans. Or did you miss the whole "no stars" thing?Seriously. Every recruit Iowa is looking at, has looked at, or will look at is somehow horrible in the eyes of ISU fans.

I give credit where credit is due. And all of the interesting players on Iowa's recruiting list are committted elsewhere. The fact is that Lickliter is recruiting Butler type talent--which isn't going to work year in and year out in the Big Ten.

Apparently you're confusing "Not Rated" with "Not Yet Rated". Though I'm sure that since he's committed to Iowa, Rivals will probably slap a couple of stars on him...Rivals hasn't evaluated him yet. Or did you miss that?

And by the way, it was a Hawk fan who originally said "he sucks", not a Cyclone. What I said was "unremarkable"...or something like that.
No, he's branded mediocere because he's known, and not raking in the offers. If Iowa's biggest competition was Northwestern...well, they don't exactly focus on great athletes either, do they?I don't care if a Hawk fan says he sucks, or an ISU fan says he's unremarkable. The fact is, he hasn't stepped on the court yet, and he has another year of HS basketball yet to play, and somehow he's been branded mediocre by people simply because he's not raking in the big time offers.
