You would think with oil prices tanking it would have been a tougher year for recruiting.
Clearly T Boone has diversified

Right. For whatever reason the visits had to be cancelled for Wright (and Sims), it's not a good thing to be missing out on those chances to get some of your top targets to campus. Who knows if we will get another opportunity?
Well then

Ha, give it a break bud. I fully understand why the current players were gone, and why the recruit visits were cancelled. My whole point, again, is that who knows if we will end getting these guys to visit again? While their visit to Ames was cancelled, they are now moving forward with going to other places and could end up losing interest in ISU or committing elsewhere. Just a tough break for ISU not to be able to get visits from a couple of its top targets.

That's the hardest part for Iowa State is actually getting the guys to visit. It is still baffling to me that a program that has turned into a perennial tournament team and has been the top 25 so long still struggles signing top ranked recruits.
Would also add with one of the top fan bases. I don't understand eitherThat's the hardest part for Iowa State is actually getting the guys to visit.

Georges, Monte, MT, Custer, Noskowiak, J. Long, Lard...these I would all call "top ranked" as in top 150...for a program based on transfers that also isn't afraid of a JUCO I'd say that's sufficient. Not to mention a very untimely coaching change thrown in there. We've only been re-established for like 4 years nationally.
That's 7 spread out over a 5 year period. There are schools much worse than use that somehow pull in 2-4 of those guys per year, and proceed to do absolutely nothing with them (Oklahoma State, LSU, UNLV, Ohio State..). It just seems like recruiting to ISU should be easier than it currently is.

How are those schools "worse"? 2 southern schools, UNLV, and The OSU. They are draws in themselves, and their recent success is on par or better than ours bar LSU which that school is a destination school for kids from all over the south.
Tell me about MN, Marquette, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, KSU, etc,...schools that we're akin to.
