I honestly believe that the NCAA is going to do the unthinkable and allow some of these kids to be able to play right away this next year, essentially moving up the potential rule timeline of immediate eligibility.

The best leak we ever had on this board was when Jeremy ran the site and TJ Otzelberger's dad would tell us whats up on a private basketball board they had for invited members of this board only. They did away with that board when they redesigned the site years ago. However, he would tell us exactly what recruits we were going to get. It was pretty cool.
I didn't know Drew was part of the "Cave" with CIMD (who is now famous).
Yeah, I wish we could have a separate site/group for trusted insiders who simply loved ISU and wanted info even if they couldn't share it outside of the group.
It was announced he changed his time to tomorrow, but there was a rumor he might end up still announcing today. So stay alert and keep that nut cup handy.
Was that back during the GMAC years when Greg admitted they underestimated what type of player to recruit for the Big 12?
that’s been the rumor for awhile. They want the best productsplaying, which means not having good players sit out. They want to have an exciting competitive league after cancelling the tournament.
Michigan not getting consideration is a win if we assume they were the reason to delay announcing for a day.
Yep. It was refreshing. No arguments, Just had great convo's about basketball, No over reactions. Lot's of insider info. When recruits chose a different school nobody went into panic mode.
Personally I think the reason for the delay is Missouri coming in with a "deal" of sorts...
I'm not sure what to think of that. Thinking out loud here but he announced the commitment delay and then also put out the goodbye Michigan graphic about an hour later. The timing with the Josh Christopher miss can't be coincidental though, right?
Proof positive on when a coach is liked.....and when one is not. Who gave a crap what records were, making the tourney or anything like that. Marcus Brister..........GREAT JOB, Clayton Vette.......HOME RUN!!!
I remember the one, and I repeat one time I had some inside new info on anything ISU that I posted on here and it didn't exactly work out super well. I had learned from CJL herself during a conversation with her on a tailgate tour stop that we would likely be adding sand volleyball soon, only for it never to come to fruition. So, at least now I hold a bit of sympathy towards people who claim good sources with real intel, only to have it prove to be false.
Yeah, I had one bit of insider info on Race Thompson a couple years back. Dude I work with and his son had played basketball, football and baseball growing up and went to the same HS. I was told Race loved ISU and everything about the coaching staff, was at a point of almost wanting to commit. Shortly after, we started not reaching out to him as much, and prioritized others. Some came at me for posting it, or asked me for more info, but at that point, ISU pulled themselves out so it was moot. Some people hang too much on slivers of info, others (most) understand it's a fluid game and not an easy one.
I think peoples expectancy to get transfers is still rooted in our revolutionizing the transfer market, and assume we are still a level ahead of other schools out there in the market. Which is unfortunately not the case, whether you want to blame prohm or the fact that every high-to-mid major is shopping now. Positive about what seems to be a fall off of percentage landed, is there are far more in the portal to go after if you don't land your first choice(s) lol.
