If a kid doesn't think Ames is very lively, which would be understandable if they came during the summer, the weekend of the ISU Iowa game is the time to bring them in

Ya it will look quite different that weekend

Well, for whatever reason I didn't come away from that article thinking Johnson would end up here. Not sure why; perhaps it was the way the coach seemed to qualify positives for ISU with 'we'll see where he wants to go in the end, but...'.

Probably reading too much into it but felt like pointing out I don't feel better about our chances after reading that article either. But then again, chances have seemed slim to me since he expressed so much interest in Louisville.

It surely doesn't make us sound like the favorite, but I think that's to be expected. There's always going to be a ton of competition for these types of players.

 

[State43]

well, they didn't interview him for the article, so I am not sure how you are going to get a quote from that. The coach said he liked the players.

If you are talking about overall not seeing a quote from him that is another thought. But your comment was about the article and you said that 'even sugar coating it, it wasn't too positive.' My question was what would it take for you to be positive about it? Because I felt like it was an OK article from Iowa State's point of view. If I sugar coated it, I would latch on to the fact that the mother likes Iowa State and that would be a pretty huge positive.

And, hell, we are getting an official visit from a kid who may not have loved Ames as much as we wanted him to the first time. Obviously, he cares enough to come back and that is a positive.

Where did it say we were on his list of officials unless you are talking about someone else?
and to be fair, I could have worded my first post differently.

State43 is really climbing the ranks of most clueless posters at CF. I can't believe how sensitive and dramatic some of you guys are. There was nothing to take from that article other than Johnson is visiting again.

You mean chatter on the internet isn't the gospel truth? I mean SOME have him pegged going to Louisville. He didn't actually say that, but SOME did.....over the internet no less. Now, we don't know who that SOME is, but because it was said over the internet shouldn't that mean it is settled? Probably the only reason he is coming back is because his mom likes CFH and co. that she probably told her son to be a nice guy and humor them with an official. So don't put too much stock in his return because we all know that when SOME say things over the internet.....it's as good as money in the bank.

Agree. Who knows how many players were around, maybe it they served meatloaf at the dinning hall, maybe they hadn't mowed central campus in a while? Getting another visit seems like a good thing.

An Iowa victory and Jaylen Johnson commit that weekend would be pretty good.

The fact is that it was the Ames Tribune reporting it not some college team's rivals website trying to get as many subscribers as possible. Hence less of slant towards that particular team.

"Jaylen Johnson, one of Iowa State’s top targets in the 2014 class, plans to visit ISU the weekend of Sept. 13, the director of his summer team program tells the Tribune."

Where did it say we were on his list of officials unless you are talking about someone else?
and to be fair, I could have worded my first post differently.

The first sentence. It was the premise of the whole article. The other schools listed were in the context of the "other" schools he is taking his officials for.

 

[IAStubborn]

I'll summerize it for you:

1. People have assumed Louisville is the favorite. His coach thinks it is wide open now.
2. Taking officials to Oregon, Louisville, and Florida State
3. Coach said that Mann and Hoiberg have done a good job showing up for lots of games this summer
4. Coach says he fit in well with the team on his June visit and the style of play fits him well
5. Coach says that Hoiberg and Mann have good relationship with his mom, which will be important
6. Coach is interested in seeing what happens with his decision.

So, you can see why someone would read that article, sugar coat it, and still come away thinking Iowa State doesn't have much of a chance.

You forgot that he is coming back for the Iowa - Iowa State game the biggest "negative" of them all.

I have an opinion that you don't share and missed a quote from an article and it makes me one of the most clueless posters. Good work jahfg. When you finish reading this, gfy.

Lulz. It wasn't just one post.

Cool story man, let me know when you are done being an *******

What does JAHFG stand for Just A Hawk Fan Goader? This doesn't make any sense. Oh well what does on this sight.

I'm glad he's visiting ISU before Louisville. This way, we should at least have a chance to put our best foot forward before he visits Louisville. Would be a bummer to have a high target commit a week before the official visit.

Lets just hope UL lands Lyles just before our visit and he cools on them. One can hope.

Ya, kinda like Kyle Washington last year, if I'm recalling that right.

We are in his top three. To me, Hoiberg stands a chance against some stiff competition in Altman and Pitino, but his NBA connections and character will make it tough for Louisville or Oregon to win. Not too worried about Florida State.
