Re: Rashad Vaughn
I really don't know where Rashad is going to end up...
I do think we are somewhere in his top 5, most likely with UNC, KU, Minny and Kentucky. Also I think our staff is held in high reguard with him as proven by him visiting and comments. He has visited Minny multiple times (though Tubby offense isn't RV's style and he may not be the coach in '14 anyway), ISU 4X, and UNC 1X. Granted this is due alot to his location but, he hasn't visited KU or Kentucky or even Whisky/Marquette yet, and I'll take that as good sign that he is serious about the Cyclones. Also ESPN recruiting two weeks ago predicted ISU as one of the 4 favorites and the lead dark horse canidate to get his commitment. With a statment close to "there is a reason ISU has been associated with Rashad since the begining."
It should be mentioned that UNC is on to another 5 star shooting guard Theo Pinkston visiting Saturday too and they just signed a highly rated SF for the '14 class last week. Basically, the SG is the spot that is open and it is earmarked for either Theo or Rashad if they want it. From all indications Rashad want to take his time with recruiting and thus won't be signing until late in the summer or fall. I wouldn't be suprised to see Pinkston commit prior to RV and thus removing NC from consideration. Especially if Rashad really wants to be a one and done, he's going to want to play for a team that'll give him major minutes out of the gate.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
So, was just looking at the recruiting rankings on ESPN, and though Vaughn has UNC listed as a 'considering' school...there is no offer from them? Did anyone catch via his twitter this weekend if 'Ol Roy threw him an offer?
Not saying they won't - just found it odd. Things like that can stick out to a recruit (think Georges Niang).

Re: Rashad Vaughn
One question remains if Doug and HB and Bubu together might have committed to the Clones, but McD steered Doug to UNI instead....and the rest is history....
HB played with our practices quite a bit. He just had bigger aspirations than McD and Clones.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Rashad will give ISU a hard look but UNC is hard to turn down they usually get who ever they want so we will prob see another 5 star kid who we are in on go the the tar heals. Only for some reason I think Fred is in pretty good shape with this kid. He has a great eye for talent. ISU really needs a good power forward as well as Rashad.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I honestly don't know why anyone considers ever playing for Williams. Rarely ever does he develop players into superstars and he vastly underachieves. I understand they would play for the name North Carolina, but I would much rather play for a coach that understands how to use his players.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
If Baylor can land recruits like this why can't Iowa St? Scott Drew does the opposite of developing players, they seem to get worse every year and also you only have 3,000 people cheering you on when your at home

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I agree. I seriously don't get it. Even if they are cheating I don't get it.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Every year I look through the top recruits and where they land, and there's always a few that land in spots that aren't what you would normally expect. I see no reason why that can't be the case here.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Williams can cruise into any of these kids households and easily recruit them he doesn't have to really work at it. He has had the luxury of coaching at the name schools which is why some may say he underachieves or players do not develop like they should. I hope that changes with Vaughn to come to ISU and not UNC, he can develop just as much here as he can or may not at UNC. Also, we are on TV a lot too so its not like the nation will not see his talents if he so chooses ISU.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
It doesn't matter if you think Williams doesn't make players better, underachieves, etc. He is a big name coach at one of the top five basketball schools of all time. If Williams really wants a kid he is going to get him 95 times out of 100. ISU will never really compete for that kind of player other than the once in a decade blip on the radar screen. Not a put down of ISU at all....just the way it is and always will be. That puts ISU in the same boat with 90% of the of the D1 programs.

Wish this kid would just let Fred settle it with a game of horse against Williams.
