I totally forgot about Rooks to SD State, even though I read that less than two days ago. I'm not sure I knew about the McIntosh block, or had forgotten. I realize we hadn't been in the picture for Thorpe, he was more of a wildcard inclusion.

Wonder if ISU staff has had any contact?
Numbers aren't great but has interest from some good programs (SCar, GT, LSU, Maryland, Ohio State)
6-5 200 lbs
6.7 ppg 2.2 rpg 1.2 apg 35% 3 pt shooter. Grad transfer with 2 years eligibility.
With Shayok, not sure this guy is worth a scholarship for 3 years.
2 years, plus he's eligible right away but yeah, Shayok and him play same position and I'd imagine Marial is much better.
I missed the grad transfer part, thought he was sit 1 play 2. That makes him a little more valuable.
So Johnson just committed to N.Carolina. So much for blocking teams. If he was allowed to be unblocked and go to N.Carolina who plays Pitt in the same conference, its seems bogus to me that Ill. State's McIntosh was blocked from us, a team we may not even play, but if we did its in a meaningless early tournament.
I believe Kevin Stallings was an assistant to Roy at Kansas. Roy did a lot of campaigning to get this done.
McIntosh can come to Iowa State even if he's blocked; he would just have to sit out a year. It's the same case for Johnson at North Carolina, although it sounds like Johnson and UNC are going to fight the restriction and the 1-year sit-out, and Johnson has stated he may even consider legal options.
Well what I've read indicates that it likely won't get that far. Pittsburgh and Stallings have already lost in the court of public opinion. It's assumed that in the next couple of weeks, Pittsburgh will take back their restriction. If they don't, Johnson would pursue legal options at that time, not UNC. I'm assuming the athlete would have a much better chance of winning than the school.
But public opinion drives most of these types of situation. If McIntosh REALLY wanted to come to Iowa State and made a fuss about it, he'd probably be here.
Wonder if ISU has decided they're done on the transfer market this summer and is focusing on late HS additions?
I don't know but if they went after Brown you'd think there'd be interest in Lofton...decent list of schools after him. I know someone mentioned earlier that they were surprised there wasn't more interest in him.
Wherever he plays 2017-18 will be his 4th college. Maybe there's some character issues there Prohm doesn't want to deal with.

Spokane, Ames and Pittsburgh are closer to Mississippi? That's so Hamiltonian.
They've inquired. Southern Miss, Murray State, Middle Tennessee, UTM are all in the mix and close to home
He's definitely interesting.
17 points, 5 rebs, 4 asts vs. Iowa.
Shot 18 3's in one game last year and 17 in another.
That clarifies it a bit. I never said reading comprehension was my thing (or math or science or history or athletics or cooking or woodworking). I am pretty good at drinking beer, though.
