Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

I was positive as anyone until it came out that RV unfollowed Freddy and Matt A on twitter. That may sound dumb to some of you but why would he go out of his way to unfollow the coaches he would be playing for next season? It makes 0 sense

I still have a small sliver of hope..

Wally Szerbiak is on that show. Wally loves Fred. Fred lined this up. National champions!
I just want Brett to post the GIF of Wally saying "You're stupid!" after he picks UNLV.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

Is there a stream for that online ??
I want this, too. I don't get the CBS Sports network on my DirecTV package, so would love it if anyone can post where it can be streamed online, even if it is only an audio stream.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

Fair enough, perhaps. Name the other recruit that RV wants to attend UNLV, please.

I do not know the name of the recruit in question. I was simply told by this coach that RV wanted this other recruit WITH him because without him apparently he felt UNLV would be weak, too weak. That might get him to ISU. The coach did recruit him but got nowhere and turned him down to even visit. He is just very sure that RV is going to the Rebs. He even went so far as to say he feared playing time in Ames because of the talent Fred is getting. Then the very next sentence was he also was noticing how many prime time games the Cyclones are getting and how that peaked his curiosity.

i love the Cyclones, and have had season tickets for years. I want us to get him but this coach convinced me different, subject to a couple of things. That's all.

and CycloneErik, I know you are attached to the program, more so than I, but my business travels permit me to meet and befriend several college coaches and AD's. I'm not trying to pull a power thing here, I was just chiming in. I should've put more facts up in the first place. My personal thoughts are we put wayyyyy to much energy I to guys like this and Harrison Barnes, she we should continue getting the Ejims of the world and assemble a team, just like now.

Isn't CBS sports the channel that carries a lot of mountain west basketball that no one watches? Doom!!!

Oh, I'm not challenging people's connections to beef up my own. I've got literally none, and I'm fine with that.

Except a lot of us fondly remember the dominance of the Fizer days. I'd LOVE to have another McDonald's All-American on the roster even if they're a one & done. The hope is that maybe Fred can start a trend.

That, combined with the timing of the announcement (the day after we won a Big Monday game), makes me feel at least slightly more optimistic.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday

That CBS article I just posted says UNLV has an advantage of being close to his high school. Well yes, but its his prep high school. His actual high school (which I translate to family) is in Minnesota.

So Vaughn is concerned UNLV may be weak if this other recruit does not go there with him? How can that be, UNLV already has a GREAT recruiting class coming in. If they will be weak next year it is becuase their coach runs a crap program, it won't because of talent.
