Rashad Vaughn - Not going to ISU

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

If that's true who says who they are after their tweet? Especially the President. I believe we all know who you are.

Actually, Obama signs his tweets "-bo" at the end if he does them himself (rather than a staff person).

Ya I know its fake. It's the thread, the fake RV tweets, well **** the whole damn thing that's sad/creepy...Maybe its the estrogen in me that makes it that ways but damn guys I feel like I should pass out some Xanax and Asprin (for the heart attacks that will occur tomorrow whichever way it goes)

Don't pass out anything. The weak need to be weeded out.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

I won't be shocked if him and his handler go overseas for a year of "pro" ball and then enters the draft. He has a unique situation where he already has somebody looking out for him/moving with him, so the ability to move overseas for a year and get paid and not just be an 18 year old kid with no guidance may be beneficial for him, especially if an education is of zero concern.

I will be.

Nice work. Wouldn't want people to think there's nothing happening here.

Thinking its about time to shut it down. My CF has run so slow the last few days. It started on Wednesday, and I figured it was the National Signing Day Chat, but now I'm starting to think it's just this thread being massive.

How big was megathread?

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

This one kid isn't going to make or break our season next year. This amount of hype for this guy is almost an insult to the players returning/coming in next year. No doubt he has the great potential and could put us on the next level. If he goes to UNLV I wish we could set up a regular season game to play them - we know we won't play them in the tourney because they probably won't make it.

Vaughn absolutely makes your season/ Having a guy that can slash to the rim to take advantage of Niang being able to pull bigs out from under the rim is essential. Kane has been decent at it but he'll be gone. ISU needs to fill that role. Gotta have a guy that is a threat to drain it from deep AND have the speed to drive around a guy before he can hedge a screen or recover. Vaughn absolutely raises the ceiling for ISU next year from a dangerous team to a Final Four contender.

spot on. I'm glad this **** is over tomorrow. almost a win-win situation. I'd rather he went to ISU, but if he doesn't the meltdown on here will be legendary.

Only the tools will meltdown. THough if Vaughn pulled a Cliff Alexander fake ISU hat grab a few heads will explode.

Agreed. The conspiracy theories that would spill out of that meltdown would be the stuff of movies.

I would guess that this bad boy will be shut down the moment that RV makes his announcement and a new thread will be created, "Rashad Vaughn to ______" or whatever.

You're underestimating what a huge boost he would provide. If he's as good as advertised then we're looking at a team that's not only good enough to compete for the conference championship but a team with legitimate Final Four aspirations.

That stunk. I am a KU fan and I thought that was Bush League, big time. Self had a little discussion with Big Cliff about that one.

And the bigger impact is that it puts ISU on the radar of future elite recruits. The gift that keeps on giving.

Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Saturday

Now here's an idea:

WRNL ‏@WideRtNattyLt
Or FT contest. MT @austinnarber: Fred Hoiberg v. Dave Rice. Flappy Bird contest for Rashad Vaughn. The only thing that makes sense anymore.

I agree with this. RV definitely brings a dimension that Fred could use the hell out of.
