Re: Rashad Vaughn
So, any news on cuts yet? This is what the highlight of my week appears to be. Kinda sad.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Ok Rashad this is it. Don't have to listen to anymore of this - I have an idea, just go to the USA coaches poll and pick the one rated the highest on your list and leave it at that. Whoever it is we'll support and respect your decision. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Think they're still technically there though, he hasn't cut his list as much as most recruits do.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Exactly. His "cut" to 10 was actually 11. His 5 will probably be 6 or maybe 7
I see what you did there! Another grenade lobbed in the great "should Thomas start" debate.wink:

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Bingo. Only time I'll be overly concerned with an RV "cut" is when he cuts it to 1.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Only 8 on his list right now so I'd be very surprised if the final five was any more than 5.

I like Casey's point though-we are ranked in the Coaches poll ahead of Kentucky, Kansas, UNC and unquestionably UNLV. If Vaughn is concerned about being able to compete for a national championship / deep NCAA run next year (as suggested from the esteemed Mr. Williams), then this waiting for verification seems to only be helping our chances.
Now, conversely, if Vaughn really wants to be the man, but he wants to be the man on the most storied of programs he can, then the waiting impact is still unclear. I personally agree that the Harrison twins SHOULD stay in school, but I think their egos won't let them. If 7 of the top 9 from KU declare for the draft, then I have some major concerns (yes, even with the standard amazing recruiting class they have coming in). Most notably, I think Vaughn has some skills that Booker does not, namely explosiveness.
Similarly, if UNC loses Hairston (kicked off team / declares for draft) and Tokoto transfers, then I could see Vaughn seeing an opportunity to be the true shooter / SG on UNC (depending on how Pinson and Jackson develop their 3PT shooting / playmaking skills).
Finally, I don't really see Selden improving enough to declare for the draft by the end of this year. However, if he did, then I could see Vaughn seeing an opportunity to be the optimal SG / shooter / playmaker at KU. I see Frankamp as being the typical KU limited minute until Jr guy, and I see Vaughn as more polished than Oubre, especially at the MJ skills (i.e., playmaking and pull up J), which Vaughn will certainly know by the time he commits.
I sure hope it is the latter and not the former.
Notably, I see the background of his Twitter site as something that should not lead him to seek prestige as much as the right fit. I personally think he has been holding back on pulling the trigger to make sure our team is good enough that he has the opportunity to achieve some goals he has set for himself and his selected team next year. It is a long season that has just begun, but I'd have to say we are making as good of a case as we can.

IP Guy, I think one of ISU's biggest sell is that it is the clearest to the NBA. At UNC, UK, and KU there is a risk he may not touch the ball enough to further develop his NBA talent. Oh, and it is closer to home and he would play for Fred Hoiberg.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
. Minnesota was hus 11th and not in his top 10. He named 10 and said + minnesota because "they are my home school and will always be on my list". He may do a top 5 +1 (minnesota) who knows. To me though that is pretty clear that means the real list is really 7 right now.
