We have three guys right now and I don’t think we take all three that are priority recruits. Janowski, Pierce and the Minnesota kid who I can’t remember his name for some reason
Pretty certain we are all-in on Isaac Asuma from Minnesota. Out on Janowski.

A class of Indrusaitis, Rock, Asuma and Pierce would be another top 10 class.

Can anyone with 247 premium access summarize article at top of his Twitter about “dream school”? Or is that against the rules?

I know we are all in on him. Just saw that the last three posts Momcilovic retweeted was JT Rock commits, his last game and retweetEd Janowski highlights.

Sat next to him. Didn’t talk much but he was into the game and you could tell him and his dad really enjoyed it.
If you’re a parent I imagine you’d have to live this staff and this atmosphere. Probably a little shocking coming from NYC to Ames though

I talked to Curtis about that. He said Will hates it and he really liked getting away from the nonsense. I think Rashon liked coming to a calmer place since he was from Far Rockeway, NY. So we do have some examples.

For sure. Throw Tinsley in there too.

I don’t know that it’s the turn-off a lot of people immediately assume it is. If you want to come somewhere and realy focus on your game with less distractions it’s a good spot. It’s probably an effective filter for people that are going to fit in TJs system, to be totally honest.

could you elaborate? Are we 'out' on Janowski as you suggest because of his choice as in stronger interest elsewhere, or because OUR coaches have prioritized others

I don’t know how you come to Hilton tonight as a recruit and not commit. How you wouldn’t want to play in the atmosphere is just unthinkable.

This kids looks legit, by the way.
I hear ya...but we've said this a million times before and they go elsewhere. Way too many variables involved.

From what I have read our staff prioritized Asuma and like where we stand currently.

My dad met JT one of his first days on campus. Small talk about culture shock and how friendly people were and how strange it was to look people in the eye. JT paraphrasing.... You do that where I come from man you'd get shot or stabbed.

He went to practice about about a year later and JT big smile looked him in the eye "hello mr X great to see you" Dad said it was a special moment and they both recognized what had changed in the kid from Brooklyn.

I’ve also heard the staff thinks we’re okay with where we’re at on PG with Lipsey being an absolute dawg and getting Williams back next year. I think they’d still take Asuma but don’t be surprised if we cool on Asuma and go all in on CS Jr. in the 2025 class
