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.
