I think Gmac is going after a Juco so he can add more to an already very promising 2010 class. Think about this. Right now I think we have 3 scholly's for 2010. If we get a Juco guy for 08 that can help out right away. Then we would have 4 schollarships for 2010. We have Dykstra and most likely Harrison Barnes. We also offered 2 more guys for 2010. If we can bring 4 stud 2010 recruits and keep them togeather for a few years. It might be the future of Iowa State. I like it.
For the record the 08 class sucks right now. We need at least one more guy. Hopefully it's a the Juco kid. Then bank the other ship for 09.

are there ANY Juco Bigs out there? I am normally one for going out and getting the most talented guys you can and letting the chips fall, play your strengths, but I think the last thing we need is another 6'4"-6'6" ish tweener guard forward forced to play a post.
If he's a legit 6-5, 225 juco, he should be physical enough to play in the Big 12. I would rather have that then some 6-9 bean pole project.
Hey, a season with G-Mac and Jiri's come a long way from that 6-9 bean pole project...
Kenny Pratt was 6"4 and he was one of our best inside guys ever. If this guy can be like Pratt then I say snatch him up.
I'm pretty sure Jiri has been 6'11" since he came here, and he was a juco guy, not a high school freshman, he isn't huge, but never really the bean pole type, and not really a project, just a guy who liked to face up and never really got coached before.
ditto. A strong 6'5 player, with talent and technique can play post in college basketball.
Any chance we redshirt Vette this year and simply consider him part of the '08 class?
Honestly, I hope we don't. I hope he's good enough right now to add quality minutes and at this point in the program anyone who can add quality minutes in the post needs to be on the floor.
I think we have plenty of depth at the position considering we have Jiri, Brackins, Johnson & Johnson, and Thompson... so if he's getting quality minutes it means that I will be extremely disappointed in Brackins and Thompson in my opinion.
Frankly I think he's capable of being a quality player but it's after 07-08 when our frontcourt gets really thin.

Agreed Bryce. I think the other guys at the position are further ahead of him at this point. A year observing/learning and putting on some size will help him tremendously.
I'm not knocking the kid (don't wanna start another "why hate Vette" thread)...I just think he could really benefit from a red shirt year. Plus, so could the team.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind. - Jack Handy
Knownothing is made up of a combination of three words: "Kno", "wnot" and "hing". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is Knownothing.
