Re: Rashad Vaughn
For someone that is by all accounts at this point wants to be a one and done the benefit of going to a Duke or UNC is negated. Barnes was a pretty classy guy and seemed to be just as interested in being part of a team and everything that goes with it and didn't have the makeup to want to be "the man". I don't care if Vaughn wants to be one and done, come on down to Hilton and let's make that year a great one.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I've never heard Vaughn state that he wants to be one and done. Of course, most great players would but that doesn;t mean he'll be good enough to do it. Lots of highly ranked high schoolers are't quite as good as their billing.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Unfortunately false. He's got a great 2013 class (may add more) and two 5 stars verballed for 2014 and in on more.

Probably not the atmosphere and *** whooping that Roy would have hope for on this visit.

Did he Skype you in front of Gary Thompson and the ISU pep band to tell you that he was a classy guy?

I don't know. There were several fans still in attendance at the end. Some in Carolina blue.

I'm not ashamed to say I looked at his "ask me a Q" thing on twitter - someone asked him if he would be one-n-done if he could. His answer: "yes, absolutely"

Re: Rashad Vaughn
The ISU pep band wasn't at the announcement. I'm not sure how that got started or why it won't die.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Why would Floyd recommend his friend eustacy to coach at isu after leaving just to screw him over by pimping a top recruit to Kansas? I find this hard to believe.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I believe if I remember correctly, Tim Floyd was looking towards Roy Williams to help with persuading Michael Jordan to stay with the Bulls. I think this all came out in a book that was released a year or so ago.
Re: Rashad Vaughn
Look at it from a top ten player's perspective: They know they can't get to the NBA or development league out of high school, and a lot of them know they won't be finishing college before they move up. Their college choice is often a resume enhancer, a choice of whose network you want to access the most. Where and how do you want to showcase your skills for those who will decide your status the next draft season. There are a handful of schools that can play that angle up and it isn't a tough sell.
We all kind of laughed when Harrison Barnes would go on talking about himself as a "brand" but that's the mindset of many one and dones.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
And in the end it has the same affect on ISU when competing for Vaughn.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
You are correct, but the AHS pep band was there with the ISU Fight Song queued up. That is where it got started and why it is still referenced.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Agreed. The guy lands huge talent but doesn't get much out of it. Look at Paul Pierce, the guy is a stud in the NBA but didn't stand out under Roy at KU. Roy does not know how to optimize and showcase the pieces he has.
