Skogland wasn't a scholarship player either. He was a walk-on, if I remember correctly. He's not in any recruiting database that I can find. He certainly wasn't a four-star like Rock is. I think the comparison is apples and oranges.

His film looks good.
Not sure about Skogs being a walkon. His recruitment probably even precedes the existence of Rivals.
I remember watching him play in HS and he was viewed as a solid recruit for Iowa State, but definitely a project. Larry's recruiting was kind of spotty- he liked to reach on players from a development and mentality standpoint.
Skogs was on a basketball schlorship. https://cyclones.com/news/1999/11/12/867148
Person who’s been here less than six months mouthing off to one who’s been here for almost thirteen…years.
Seems legit.
Cyclones all the way.Jackrabbit, who are you cheering for tonight?
I posted this in another thread but my friend in CF told me Heise is transferring to ISU.
This thread should not be about ******* Skogland. Take that somewhere else.
I hope as a walk-on. We don't need more guards.
I think I see the problem here. When people are saying that Rock was Top 100, you’re reading that as “he was 100”.
Before JT reclassified, his rankings were in the sixties and seventies for his class—and had he stayed in high school, easily could have gone higher. Maybe Top 50.
He was downgraded after reclassifying so late, and when compared to older kids. I think his highest reranking for the ‘23 class was 80. So, still nowhere near 125.
A better general comparison at the HS stage would probably be Loren Meyer. If you want to get picky about specific abilities, a cross between Meyer and the outside game of Brad Lohaus.
Hopefully without Loren’s tendency to wander when classes are canceled due to weather.
Hope that clarifies a bit.
