I would not be concerned with 2013 recruiting until mid summer of next year. Pretty sure we will go hard after some tall post transfers. That would be my guess. Remember you can't recruit transfers until after the season or until they are no longer on there current team.

False. Ejim will play SF next year leaving us with 3 total pf/c's. We will sign a juco post and leave one open. It's only November we have 5 months til both signing periods are over.
Plenty of time and plenty of players left.

2013 was a tough year for big men - not that many available, and the few we wanted we didn't get.

It's looking like Abdul-Malik Abu is favoring UCONN as of now. Of course, things are always fluid with recruiting, just something to keep an eye on.
That's disappointing...I really hope he changes over to the cyclones before he's done
I think distance is playing a factor here. Not so much because Abu doens't want to play in the Midwest, but moreso because he's been able to develop a better feel for the schools out east being in their own backyard. It's much easier for a player living in New Hampshire to visit UCONN than it is to visit Iowa State. Like I said, nothing is ever set in stone with recruiting, that's just what I've been seeing/hearing.
247Sports has released a top 30 for the 2015 class. Of note to ISU: Henry Ellenson (Forward from Wisconsin) is #27.
His brother plays for the Gophers. We might want to hope for some coaching turmoil up there. I think they have an NCAA squad this year though. Henry has plenty other options as well.
So (hypothetically), if Edozie signs, like some think he will, and Bubu loses both his trial and scholarship, what happens with that scholarship? Another post? Bank it (hopefully)?
- I'm realizing how frustrated I am Kyle Washington didn't sign here.
-- Hopefully Bubu is innocent and able to stay on

In that situation I'm guessing the coaches would bank that scholarship for a monster 2014 class.
I don't think there is any question CyMyGuy. You go after a post man! If one of our bigs goes down with an injury, whether it be Ejim, Gibson, or Niang the team would not be in a very good position with replacement bigs that we recruited from the JUCO ranks.
Yeah I think it will be interesting to see how it all shakes out. Jumping the gun a little bit but who's the most likely commit of the stacked 2014 class? I'd love Vaughn obviously, and Custer and Travis would be great as well. Thoughts?
That's the only one I would really guess right now as it's early. Custer seems to like us quite a bit. Hopefully we can pull in another great class like this year's plus a F/C Big transfer possibly.
Let's get Vauhgn, Travis, Custer, and Abu.
Seriously though, right now our best chance for a commit seems to be Custer. I am sure there will be some very good players that would be great gets that we do not yet know about, perhaps a transfer.
Haha I like your style, let's win a national championship while we're at it too. But honestly I just really hope we can bring in two of those guys as the core and supplement the class with others, much like 2013's class.
