I resent (resemble?) that remark...as while true, it ignores that fact I play one on a popular internet fan page!
You're trying to read too much into what I said. Casey questioned who was more highly regarded, not rated. I just think it's possible Prohm sees equal value for both based on what he wants, and I trust his evaluation process.
Not sure if really matters as they would play different roles on the team. Haliburton as a PG/SG combo and THT is a SF/PF.
THT is much more polished thus higher rated and has early major offers. Haliburton had a late growth jump and recently started to get major college attention. It will take
Tyrese a little time to fully refine his shot to really contribute. THT (like Griffen) has the size to get minutes day one has a pretty good handle for his size and age too. IMO
Exactly, I know the 4 stars, 3 stars. Seems like with all the competition out there better lock in who you can and hope they own up to their commitment.
So let's say the pundits on 247 know what they're predicting and Harris and Conditt both commit to the good guys. That looks like a hell of a class to me when you add in Shayok and Jacobson. Legit post, another big, 3 wings and a true point guard. I love recruiting predominantly freshmen
I do too. Not necessarily because taking transfers isn't effective (it is), but because it seems like transfers are here and gone before you know it. There's just something extra special about watching guys like Monte, Matt, Naz, Melvin and Georges go from freshmen to seniors with how much they grow as people and as players.
Apparently the pundits on 247, as you call them, don't... considering all the 'probably not Harris' speculation now.
I like a mix of transfers and freshman. If u can get a high level transfer. You take em. Same with freshman. I doubt we back off ThT
I haven't seen any "Probably not Harris" from anyone reputable. Am I missing something? I definitely don't think Harris and Haliburton are mutually exclusive. I certainly hope so, at least. I love Harris's game, and would love to see in in the cardinal and gold, and I think he has a chance to make a more immediate contribution than Haliburton.
I don't disagree with you. On another thread they're talking about not counting on Harris and that Halstead's pay site is relaying something to make them think that. If I'm reading too much into that, then sorry in advance.
If you look at a few of Conditt's last re-tweets, they lean away from Illinois to me. Saying that Illinois needs more fans that are "cool" with him not going there, and re-tweeting someone saying, "Illinois is a weak ass basketball team & school."
I think Conditt is tipping his hand.
I think Conditt is tipping his hand.
yeah, no one has said that Halsted has said Iowa State is out on Harris. Someone said Halsted had some news on him and everyone just freaked out assuming it was bad.
The Tyler Harris situation is almost starting to remind me of the McNeill situation. (Maybe its just the fact they both retweet their own tweets and their decision might be based off AAU related things.) At this point, I don't think we should be feeling good about our chances with him anymore. I'm not moving on completely, but I'm also not expecting him to end up at Iowa State.
Hopefully Harris doesn't sign with us and then bail right before summer school starts!
Not freaking out at all, just disappointed. All I want to know, if anyone has an idea, is it because we took Halliburton? Or did we get vibes Harris wasn't choosing us first, so we put the full press on Tyrese. Maybe the 'chicken or the egg' question doesn't apply, idk.
Why does it matter?
Honestly, if everyone already knows that Harris is out and we've started the complete freakout about it, it was known to the people that actually matter long before the new guy committed.
You know what, you're right...it doesn't matter. But for crying out loud,... this is a freaking basketball message board, where a lot of recruiting talk occurs, including scenarios, player info, coaches, our own fanatic moderators chiming in to discuss a lot of things. Why do you have to stereotype that as 'freaking out'? Guess I feel its called 'cyclone fanatic message board' for a reason.
