Wow, 6 options, Fred can go nuts offering everyone now. Would love to lock down Morris, Washington and Samuel from that class. If by some stroke of Jupiter's **** we get Pelle, these next few years will be quite a ride.

I wonder if we will go hard after Pelle now. Haven't heard much about his recruitment lately.

He took a visit to New Mexico, and just recently went to Depaul. Seems like he wants to use all his visits so I would expect him to at least visit.

Ok, so we have MT (SG), and we are sitting good for MM (PG). Who are we recruiting over 6'4"?

Niang was the only player over 6'4" last year and he's only 6'7".

Now that we swung and missed on DFS and McKay and Pelle is a really loooooonnnngggg shot, do we have any bigs that we're sitting well with?

You're son has been here for a week!Where are the cookies!?

In all seriousness, proud to see his tweet welcoming Matt. I have a feeling Georges will be a team player like never seen before.

Where have you been dude?

One thing from CW's report that I liked: Matt Thomas became Iowa State's first known commitment for 2013.

To me that indicates there are others.
You are mistaken. He was simply referring to the absolutely unknown football player who just committed. :wink:

This is a good pick up. Matt Thomas has a good offer list and there are lots of good comments about his skills e.g.

Dan Dakich ‏@dandakich Great get for da mayor Fred Hoiberg.. Matt Thomas outta Wisconsin is the the best shooter in class of 2013




“@GoodmanCBS: Iowa State with commitment from big-time shooter
Matt Thomas. Top 100 kid."

N.D. Kendrick ‏@NDkendrick Matt Thomas was one of the better shooters that I have scouted the past few years. Good handles, passion and guts. Solid get for Iowa St.
