Marcedus leech commits.....?
- Thread starter sadam
- Start date
They are given apparel to wear for the weekend like winter coats and jackets and stuff but they’re supposed to turn it all in at the end of visit. Maybe they snuck some stuff off but i doubt ISU willingly gave it to him to keep
Source: i hosted multiple kids on official visits during my time as an ISU student athlete.
Could it not be possible that he bought some gear because he's excited to be a Cyclone?
I believe you here. I just wasn’t sure how it all worked so I was curious. Thanks for the info.
Of all the videos I watch of the kids we're after, I find Leech's to be the most impressive. I should add, of the guys I think we have a shot at landing.
He definitely has some upside. I'm curious how good he is from 3. I guess the videos I've seen haven't shown that.
Is this the most typical Cyclone recruitment ever? He is right up their with
Jerome Harper
Imari Sawyer
The Russian 5 star recruit that the NBA needed
Lard
and about 5 other ones I am forgetting. BTW not talking about the guys that draw out the recruitment and we might have them type guys i.e. Barnes and Vaughn

Don't forget Malou and the Greek Freak 2.0
Hopefully this turns out more like Lard than the rest. It seems like we have two things going for us though:
1. He seems pretty excited to be a Cyclone
2. It's not academics, more proving that he can be a good teammate and good decision maker at his new school, so he can totally control his own destiny.
You guys (most) are too young to remember Tim Floyd's top rated class that went to ****.
Not me. I totally remember it. King left after like two games. We had several 4 star Juco kids. We were so pumped
Was just thinking CJ Bruton when I saw that list of recruits.
Of all the misses that have happened in recruiting the CJ Bruton and the Malou thing still make me angry for the athletes. They both got hosed.
Yes. But the NCAA wasn't consistent in their rulings with foreign "professionals." Here is an excerpt from the Iowa State Daily (written in 1997) about this situation:
In case you missed it, C.J. Bruton, a 6'2" guard from Australia who played professionally in Australia's NBL, was recruited by ISU and signed a national letter of intent to play here was declared ineligible by the NCAA.
Well, since he played in a professional league in Australia (limited minutes in only 22 games) and was paid (a meager $11,000), it's probably the right decision to not let Bruton play, right?
Wrong! Andrew Gaze, an Australian, also played in the NBL (in fact, he led the NBL in scoring) and propelled Seton Hall to the 1989 Final Four only months removed from his NBL season.
So instead of sticking to the precedent, the NCAA decided to go against itself. (What else is new?) So much for consistency.
It was the biggest bs thing ever. The NCAA constantly does this. Rule one kid ineligible for taking money. The other kid might have to pay it back. The kid Jackson from Kansas a few years ago took 6k. They made him pay it back and suspended him a couple games
Yes. He was given bad info on how much he could make etc. I believe he even paid the money back, or donated it to something.
Harper, Sawyer and Lard were at least real basketball players with talent.
Chiriaev was more Sidd Finch.
Theo Davis who ended up at Gonzaga is another for the list.
I don't know who King is but I remember Bruton very clearly. He was really good.
