Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Everyone is dis-crediting UNC....but what about UNLV? Yea they started slow this season, but they still put an average NBA player into the #1 slot of the draft and they have the $$$ that we don't. Don't discount the fact that the handler has his own agenda.

Also - sorry to be a downer but RV will not be in attendance this weekend. Findlay plays Friday and Saturday in NV and Rashad will be sweating on the court in his new ISU undies.

First off, for all their success over the years, I find it hard to believe that UNLV has that much more money flowing into their program than we do.

Second off, Fred reclaimed a senior PG who was going nowhere into a solid NBA back-up PG and turned a known head-case who was on the verge of washing out of basketball altogether into a 1st round pick. IN HIS FIRST TWO YEARS AS A COACH AT ANY LEVEL. It's not like he can't compare to their NBA track record.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

This was what I was thinking. Every guy on the floor last night made a play or two that was critical to the win. Every single one. As a player watching that, who wouldn't love that?
Seeing Kane and Ejim getting headlines on ESPN/CBS was a reminder that UNC and UK does not soak up all the media ink. Winning at OSU may be a huge lift for recruiting next year. Flappy Bird also helps...I mean what a cool coach. Playing video games on the plane after the big win of the season. That is how you recruit.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I don't want to get my hopes up, but if this is just about the best basketball fit, I don't think there is much doubt Iowa State is the place. However, if this comes down to a re-make of "Blue Chips", there is no doubt he will announce Kentucky Saturday.

Also, our other known target, Marvin Clark, will be in Vegas on Saturday for the National Prep Showcase. Here is to those two having great games and committing to Coach Hoiberg!



Joking aside, that is less than ideal and one could say if he were picking ISU he would wait until April to avoid some hassle, but he goes to a prep school full of kids that go elsewhere.

I complete agree with your points. My point is that UNLV should also be taken seriously. Everyone is thrilled that UNC seems to be eliminated, and rightfully so, but I'm not going to be shocked if he ends up a Rebel.

ISU's blowing up on Vaughn's 247. 9 ISU picks today. (1 for UNLV)

I had no idea Clark would be in Vegas as well. Anyone able to see if they've sent tweets to each other? You know how epic a double commit from those two would be? If the erection lasts longer than 6 hours over this do I still need to see a doctor?

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I enjoyed this comment from UNC's Rivals forum....

If he commits to Iowa State he will never be heard from again. He may very well be good , but nobody will know it...LOL.
Better not discount UK that fox slipped back in the hen house a few weeks ago.

How much talent do they have on their roster? Where are they ranked in the top 25 again?

I'll agree with that. In my head right now the order of likelihood for RV's commitment is 1)Iowa State, 2)UNLV, 3) UNC.

And all of their players are really blowing up in the national discussion right now.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Fred is Roy Williams 20 years ago. Who would you rather play for? Tired old belly putter Roy? Or jet flyin, limo ridin, hole in one and albatross getting young Roy? Fred is the new big swingin **** Roy's time is past.
Unfortunately the belly putter isn't retired until 2016...not that RV likes that kind of BS golf anyway. He's more of a Rickie Fowler fan, which compares well to CFH. /End Ramble

Does this guy really not pay attention to anything outside of UNC and the ACC? How many times have we been on ESPN this year? How often have we gotten love from the ESPN people? How often have we been mentioned during games where we are not even relevant in?

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I noticed something interesting on the RV video I posted earlier today. Check out the base of the hoop, underneath the Under Armor logo.

Wouldn't it be nice if this were some sort of premonition as to where RV will wind up?
