Darnell Harris

Staten is just a verbal. I wouldn't count on him. Not counting him out, either. Just pointing out the elephant in the room who's getting tired and hungry.
 
Ok, http://kimandjason.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/debbie_downer.jpg
We have no shot at good recruits as long as Mac is the coach here.
Sincerely,
Jordan Dykstra (Top 100)
Marquis Gilstrap (96 rating on ESPN)
Chris Colvin (Top 100)
Chim Kadima (Will be top 100 after he gets exposure, didn't this summer because of broken leg.)
Wesley Staten (ranked in the top 7 nationally on espn.com)
Craig Brackins (5-stars on Rivals.)
Diante Garrett (top 150 on Rivals.)
Have I made my point?


With those recruits he better produce a top 2 or three finish in the Big 12. Is that the point you are trying to make?

How is it working out in the win column
 
Only 2 of those recruits have played for ISU.

...and they are only a month into their sophomore seasons and aren't close to reaching their ceilings yet...when Brackins becomes strong enough to hold his own down low (which will happen), look out.

He isn't the physical specimen of strength Fizer was as a junior, but I would have to say CB is AT LEAST holding his own...
 
Back on topic though, Harris definitely needs some time in the weight-room, and needs some work on the defensive end of the floor, but he's got tremendous upside.
 
The thing that sucks is we have all these kids we are in on and yet if GMac does not win soon he will be gone. Then we have to start all over recruiting new kids and we will be in on them late. So the best case scenario is we win next year. Kids see we can win and commit to us. Then we beat the crap out of Duke and Harrison Barnes in the suite 16 to go to the elite 8.
