Almost everyone gets labelled a troll when they are new and have an opinion. Either that or a sunshine and rainbows peddler...really you can't win on this site.
Another Power forward offer... I am pretty sure REACH Legends was SDW's team in High School.

I've been wondering if he may get an offer now for some time. A little thin and raw offensively but athletic and a great motor. One of those guys that you see on a mid-major kicking arse, so often, and wondering why he's not at a bigger school. Like every guy at WSU.
It does make me wonder where we stand with Abu but there may be little correlation.

I feel like this Tillman offer should have come 9 months ago. Better late than never I guess. Landing Johnson or AMA would be huge because of the amount of other interest they're getting. Time to get serious about plan B and C.
That was one of my first thoughts when I saw ISU offered Tillman. CFH hasn't been offering '14 scholarships since Macura and it was the Spring prior to that, thus the staff must have been pretty cofindent with their targets. Abu, Cunningham, and Jaylen Johnson have really been blowing up this month, getting more offers and have been moving up in the rankings. Guess well see...
I wouldn't read too much into it, although I doubt Abu comes to Iowa State. The last part of July is always busy with new offers and it's not really atypical for there to be a lull in offers between the AAU circuits in June and July. It's very possible that the coaches now value Tillman just as highly as say Abu, Johnson, and Cunningham and have therefore decided to offer him.
And the offers start to be extended...

True, he could attract them but couldn't keep players and certainly couldn't win with them in the B12.
I'll take Fred any day, who so far hasn't been able to sign a good HS big (true post), but is getting very good guards and getting us into the tourney.
Eventually, after stringing together 3-4 tourney appearances in 4 years, he'll land a stud big man, that likes to handle the ball ala Royce.
Does anyone think its sorta difficult to recruit big city kids (which alot of these recruits either live or 'some' aspire to live) to Ames? or state of Iowa in general? Just an honest question. Don't get me wrong, I love Ames, and when we get players here, I think they love it too. Some like 'small', while others don't. It's not like Stillwater, Waco, Lawrence, are big attraction cities, either, I wouldn't think, but maybe they're closer to hot spots, I'm not sure. And I also don't know what campuses have to offer that would sway them to fall in love with a place. Winning traditions and coaching staffs are still probably more what they look at first, though.

highlights are attached to Clarke's 247 profile. Looks aggressive and athletic with defensive promise. Jump shot could use some work but he's a 2015 prospect with plenty of time to work on that.
Why isn't Georges Niang included when discussing Hoiberg's post recruits? He was a 4 star recruit and was being recruited as a post by every school on his list. It's not like he's strictly a face-up spacer either as he had one of the most developed repertoires of post moves I've ever seen from a freshman.
