****Official Class of 2018 Recruiting Thread****
- Thread starter Cydkar

Just 6 months ago, I’d have popped a rod over a UCONN guard, but apparently Kevin Ollie drove them into the ground. God, we really could’ve won it all that year if we had Georges.
That's fair.
I don't think that Loyola is as good as Wichita State was last season, or as good as UNI was back in 2015, but the balance from top to bottom was noticeably better this season than in previous years past.
Anyway, sorry to derail the thread.
The tweet was from last July.
I won't argue your statement at all. It may be better this year. I like Loyola, due to Custer, and Drake, but none of the rest. I've never cared for UNI. I honestly think it's because I despise purple.
This seems like the type of mistake I would make.
No doubt, and advanced metrics really like them. But if they get in a matchup that can exploit their lack of athleticism I think their top 10 top defense will be exposed and reliance on 6'10" 270 lb freshman in the middle to open up space for their offense will prove fatal.
I'd go Harris as preference but either. I'm actually terrified that he'll go to Baylor and rip us apart for 4 years.
Speaking of Rivals once again singled out Harris decision in their expert article.

""Everyone needs a point guard, and that makes Tyler Harris that much more of an important prospect this winter. Iowa State was the heavy favorite during the summer months, but it is currently in a scholarship bind, and if Harris even wanted to commit to the Cyclones, he can't until their roster numbers are sorted out. This has allowed other programs more time to get into the picture for Harris. The local Memphis Tigers have done their best to remain involved, though wins on the recruiting trail have been hard to come by since Tubby Smith took over the reins of the program two years ago.
"This all leads to Baylor making a late surge, and the Bears may now be the favorite for the diminutive guard. Scott Drew has worked wonders with players in the mold of Harris at the point guard spot.".
So sorry to hear that, thoughts and prayers with you and your family.
Someone asked CW a question on Twitter related to that, and he responded that he hadn't heard anything about that. The tweet itself could have meant anything, and the poster who started the thread has a prior history of rumors that look like speculation.
Thoughts with you and your brother most importantly!
Thread was deleted, nothing certain. Lots of speculation which likely led to it being deleted.
I don't know if your brother is a big ISU fan at all, but ISU is awesome at helping out in these situations. If you have a football or basketball you want signed for your brother, they have been more than willing to get signatures in my past experiences with my sister and a close friend in a similar situation.
Peace to both of you.
