I'm 100% honest when I say we in no way should fill all of the scholarships. We need to save at least 2 for the summer/next fall recruiting class.
I agree completely. Heck, save all 4 if necessary. Bring in some walkons if you need warm bodies for practice. Don't give them a scholarship. I would spend 100% of my recruiting efforts to go after potential starters at PG and SG.

I am in the Grad Transfer with one year or bust category. Don't take in a marginal talent that has 3 years left and be stuck with them. NO reason for that. Use all four on freshman next year if we have to. Obi's brother is worth a scholarship I think. He has potential to add something.

I know things suck for so many reasons right now - the LEAST of which is ISU basketball - but I giggle when people discussing recruiting make it sound like it's as easy as going to the store and picking "starting talent" off the shelf. We should have recruited Michael Jordan! Why didn't we recruit Shaq?

That said - CSP really needs to restock the shelves and I'm OK letting this recruiting cycle play out. And even if I WASN'T OK letting this recruiting cycle play out, I'm just an anonymous no-nothing poster like most everyone else on here who happens to enjoy ISU athletics.

So I haven't paid much attention. Have we missed on all the transfers so far or are things just going slowly because of limited travel etc.?

Shaq and Jordan? We need a point guard! How would they help us?

Interesting. I wonder who this may impact that we would maybe look at.

no clue if it does.

If it does, likely to reclassify a 2021 kid to 2020. Either hs or juco. I’m sure we will find out about soon enough if this effects anyone we are currently pursuing.

I would imagine it would just throw some more prospects into the mix.

I feel like we definitely would have saw him while we watched Dubar and if he was a take we would have recruited. Doubt we go after him. (100% my opinion)

Or we go after him because that’s how our spring has been. Happened last year, had to grab fall back options who later transferred. Hopefully he would be better than that but ya know
