Decommit: Ryan Mosby

Well, if he told Wempa to decommit, I sure hope he's got a center up his sleeve somewhere.
And was Mosby the Texas kid who had teammates we were also recruiting?
As long as they are players that he thinks will contribute the best to his system, it shouldn't matter where they come from. What we really need is a bunch of kids who will believe in a system and each other, who will gel together and play above their potential.
Not going to argue what you have heard from commits.... Well maybe I am though. How many times have we heard something like this.... "Coach said I'm not good enough. Coach said he doesn't like me"???
I'm sure the coach had reasons, like you said, but I would take whatever I heard from an almost complete stranger with a grain of salt. I know you have talked to him a few times but still...
I'm sure the coach didn't insult him and treated him with respect.
No, what we need is the speed and talent to compete in the Big XII. Then those guys believe in a system, and each other, etc...
Like i said, i'm sure there is reason, I know his academics might come into more play than they did with chizik, but kid is still talented, so thats all i question. And telling him he doesnt fit within the system? who knows what that is about.
I agree. If K State can get great athletes to go to that trash heap Manhattan then we should have no problem getting them to come to beautiful Ames.
Obviously we'd never condone cheating but I think they were on to something with the JUCOs. We need to build the team with them and then start to filter in the high schoolers as they develop.
I completely agree, but I've got to trust that Rhoads knows what he's doing. When he hired Bleil, I was very worried that Iowa ties would be the theme for assembling his staff, and he has proven my fears unwarranted by hiring solid coaches and recruiters from around the country. I have to trust that he will also make good decisions on the recruiting trail.
You are only hearing one side of the story. I'm pretty sure PR is not going to turn down a kid that is committed to ISU.
If what he said is true, I see that as a positive. Rhoads is not stupid. Unless he can fill a slot with a better player, he will keep the one's already committed. If the guys he hired each bring two studs along, he needs place to put them.
I like what you're thinking but how would you feel if Chiz and friends each took a couple of studs from us when they left? Wouldn't we all think that was pretty scuzzy? Even though, I hope we swipe every stud out there.
