Absolutely. That's probably the biggest difference between iowa state and iowa. We don't have near as many tavern fans. A lot of that is because of our lack of success historically. But yes, the majority of isu fans are alumni. Now, I do think that's starting to change. With the younger generation. "Starting to" being the key part. Hasn't yet.
Then you clearly don't understand how things work at this level. It happens....it happens all...the...time.
but I'm sure if Otz brought in some blue chip recruit that was supposed to go to Washington, but now chose Iowa state...I'm sure you'd refuse the kid, and have him stay with Washington right?
Yeah....didn't figure so.
So, correct me if I'm wrong - but is this the end of recruiting high-level players that we don't have a connection to (play in Iowa/relationship)? I thought I read somewhere that ISU won't do it anymore since Matt left and we've struck out. We also seem to have taken a step back with recruiting high-caliber transfers... PANIC!!!
If Matt A leaving ISU is the reason we don't land a possibly program changing player, then yeah **** him.
Your ignorance is a cool story? Or you ripping a guy who worked his arse off for us? Both are equally sad
He killed our chances at a top 5 recruit. I have no reason to root for the guy anymore
Ha ha like I said....if Otz brought someone in originally tied to UW....I wouldn't see one thread or comment from you disagreeing with that practice....not one. Sooooo.....
I think Hoiberg can coach the type of players that apparently TJ wants to bring in. I'm not sure if TJ can have as much success with those players.
Yeah I mean I understand that....I'm not either, and I'm not crazy about the what will end up being crappy timing for Diallo and our pursuit of him....I'm just saying it happens, and it's just the way it works. It does suck though...no question.
But that didn't happen. Otz leaves ISU and we lose Dime to Washington, Matt leaves and we lose Williams and possibly Diallo. I don't hate the guy for leaving buts it sucks we seem to lose guys when recruiters leave but don't get any when new ones are hired. Where is our recruit plucked from another school?
Seems to go one way around here and people seem pretty fine with it. How much money was wasted on these players recruitment I wonder...
ISU and Fred gave Matt his break and gave him a start.
Washington was just a lateral landing spot that Otz decided to take for some reason.
No comparison there. Matt's allegiance to ISU was (should have been) much stronger than Otz's allegiance to Wash.

This is where I am at. I honestly think that St J WITH Matt is more appealing to Diallo than ISU with Matt. Obviously Matt was our "in" with Diallo, but I think the home-town connection may possibly reel this guy in for the Jonnies.
I started a poll on this site, which is showing a large percentage of ISU grads:
