I think he is. Not that I'm upset that we aren't going after him but I think he could play in the B12.
His offensive game is clearly Big 12 level. He is ranked pretty decent. I would say he compares to Clayton Custer. Who would have eventually been a pretty good player if he was not stuck behind Monte.
I don't believe the staff is. TJ strategy has been to identify player develop a relationship over time and ISU hasn't been following Sandort. He won't pursue a target if he thinks it is likely he won't be at ISU just because he's local.
Sandfort has loooooong thought to be an EIU lock though Nebby/Fred have become players in his recruitment. The amount of effort the staff would have needed to get traction with PS was much better used on Omaha/Milian.
I guess I just don't few him as much different than his older brother. Going to be a good shooter for sure, decent size/length, but going to struggle defensively at the high major level and probably out matched athletically, limiting his upside. I suppose I'd say that he could be a solid role player as an upper classmen, but I'll certainly eat crow if he ends up being an impact player at the high major level.
Tall shooters have a place on my team unless they are too deficient in other areas. We could 100% use him and so could other B12 teams.
If we get Fish, we'll have only one open scholarship left (yes I know that can change). Top priority is going to be another rim protecting five. Having Watson and Hamilton not sure Sandfort is a need. Even if one of our 4 year seniors choose not to take advantage of the extra year I honestly don't see Sandfort as a replacement either.
Only one he could possibly replace would be Grill and I think we'd be looking for someone quicker.
We're not going to go after or get sandfort
Don't mistake anything I said for needing him, or even wanting him. I'm just convinced that he could play in the B12, and even for us.
Didn't see that. I'm on board with whatever TJ is choosing to do.
Dropped a couple of spots still TJ killing it on the trail.
Omaha no change.
Milan up 1 PF to #6, up 3 to #29 overall.
Jelani up 2 SG to #20, down 4 to #133 overall.
Kayden up 5 PF to #36, up 33 to #175 overall.
Seeing ISU at #4 as this cycle is winding down just brings a sly smile to my face.
Don’t bet against TJ in recruiting.

I’d be okay with TJ signing a top 25 PG. You know, just to bump us back up the list again.
