ISU in the NBA:

Abdel Nader is still on his full NBA deal with the Celtics.

Georges Niang has signed a full NBA deal with the Jazz.

Monte Morris is still in his two-way deal with the Nuggets.

Deonte Burton signed a two-way deal with OKC and Naz Mitrou-Long with the Jazz.

With Naz now signing and Lindell on most of next years 1st round mocks. Prohm should have the eye of the high level recruits with aspriations of getting into the league. Should be very beneficial this fall to sell recruits on ISU you and convince them he knows how to maximize their skills to get noticed.

Twitter Tuesday update that included an update on Dontaie Allen a recent ISU offer sound pretty open in his recruitment though ISU isn't in the lead.
Maybe more important Evans also noted that Tandy wasn't receiving interest from UK.

"Dontaie Allen added several scholarships offers this spring and told Rivals.com that West Virginia, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech and Xavier were among the top contenders for his commitment. However, he also said that things could change if Kentucky were to come calling with an offer. I think the Wildcats will eventually offer.
Allen was tremendous at the Under Armour Challenge last week as he finished tops in scoring at more than 26 points per game. Better yet, the one game that John Calipari watched was Allen's best yet as he scored 30 points off of 11-of-15 shooting from the floor, to go along with a handful of assists and rebounds.
Formerly a three-star prospect, he looks like the best prospect in the Bluegrass State and has now replaced Francis Okoro -- who is enrolling early at Oregon -- at No. 46 overall in the 2019 Rivals150. While KyKy Tandy and David Johnson have a worthwhile argument for the state crown, neither is drawing interest from Kentucky.
Allen told us on Sunday that he has a visit in the works for Kentucky in August but is in no hurry to make a commitment."

Not relevant for ISU but a couple other question were about OSU and Indiana's recent recruiting success and I found it interesting that both programs are going directly against Iowa for top targets. EIU could be especially bitter @ Fran's recruiting efforts if they lost all their targets to Big 10 teams with new coaches (right after losing Carton to Holtmann).

I read earlier this spring that the staff wasn't looking to sign a high school player as a replacement for Wiggington goes IF he goes pro after next year even if it is likely. Rather they would wait for his decision in the spring and then pursue either a grad transfer of JUCO to replace him at that time. The staff would probably like an older guard to play considering NWB, Shayok will graduate and LW having a good chance of being a NBA first rounder.
It would make since then that they would be scouting and recruiting the JUCO ranks this fall to be prepared.

KyKy Tandy
,
Samuell Williamson
, and
PJ Fuller
are three of Iowa State’s top targets in the backcourt this summer. Of the three, Tandy may be the most realistic. Although, the Cyclones do remain in the hunt for five-star guard
Kira Lewis
, Alabama could be difficult to beat.
Drew Timme
and
Luke Anderson
sit as two of their top targets in the frontcourt with the Cyclones in a prime position for Anderson as they have been a favorite for him for the past year. As always, expect for Iowa State to be a frequent contender for some of the very best on the transfer wire, too.

Saw KU offered Kai Jones.

Yeah, he's been blowing up and had a very good performance this past weekend. Still hopefully Kane can keep ISU in the Mix going forward. Kane had him seriously considering Dayton last year after all. Not to mention Prohm has been successful going head to head against Self for recruits.
