****Official Class of 2016 Recruiting Thread****

Pretty amazing how this staff has gone about recruiting and where the program is, hit on some of our top targets and missed on many as usual, but the program is in such good shape we still have 4* guys on the board. Hoiball era we'd have moved on to transfers by now.

Well. That article explains why the crystal balls were updated.

Side note aka quick thread derailment: I still think he would have chose ISU if we had a scholarship open after his reclassification due to his relationship with Naz.

@franfraschilla: Saw Oregon's Dillon Brooks this summer with Canadian National Team. Wouldn't shock me if he leads country in scoring before he leaves Eugene

Ugh. Don't remind me.

Another ISU crystal ball pick for Kostas this morning

 

[CyFan61]

Haven't been following this Kostas story, but I really like watching Antetokounmpo on the Bucks. Are their games even remotely similar?

The similarity is their freak athleticism.

I don't know about their games but their length is what is scary.

We aren't recruiting him obviously but:

@GoodmanESPN: Harry Giles, No. 1 player in country, has torn the ACL in his right knee, source told ESPN. Happened in first 2 minutes of season-opener.

That's some awful luck. He tore his ACL his sophomore year I believe.

I think he said he'll sign in the spring so crystal balls don't mean so much right now.

Or...maybe we aren't "recruiting" him because he's already a silent commit?

He had the silent part down til Evan screwed it all up

As a Bucks fan, I approve this message.:smile:

Too bad. The announcers could have said, "He's not your Lando. He's not my Lando. He's Ar-lando."*

Also, fwiw the writer of this article was the first to change his crystal ball pick to the good guys yesterday

Now doesnt Trey Scott write for Iowa State 247? Because he has picked twice now Marq. So hmm wonder why...
