Recruit Lists v2.0
- Thread starter SvrWxCy
- Start date
So if you're ISU and going after Vaughan, you want this to happen: Kentucky loses, loses, loses this year, their current crop of one-and-dones need to stay another year to improve draft status, and, Voila! RV sees no playing time and goes somewhere else. Am I right?
Not necessarily. That idea would seem to favor 2013 recruits before a '14 like Vaughn.
i think we need to hope that RV connects with Hoiberg more than Cal. Also, that proximity to his friends and family is a factor.
Just saw that Rivials reported ISU has offered V.J. King a 2016 Wing...
"In the state of Ohio, and around the country, there are already very high hopes for freshman V.J. King.
A 6-foot-5 wing at Akron (Ohio) St. Vincent-St. Mary, King is an impressive-looking prospect who has both skill and athleticism. King can handle the ball pretty well, is an excellent jump-shooter off the dribble and has a natural way about making plays on both ends of the floor.
King has an ideal frame for a wing and is pretty good laterally. But again, he's just a freshman and our hope is that expectations for him don't get out of control even though he looks likely to be five-star prospect.
King will need to learn to attack the rim a little more and to not settle as much for deep jumpers. But, the feel for how to attack defenders and mix things up will come with time and his instincts are great.
So far, King reports scholarship offers from Ohio State, Wisconsin, UNC Greensboro, Charlotte and Iowa State and more are likely to come. With those offers will come more expectations but hopefully people will be reasonable and remember that while talented, King will still have some growing pains."

That's the first time I remember us offering a kid from Ohio. I'm sure I've missed one but I can't think of one.
Would you prefer I didn't pass along things that I read/hear? Not saying I'm always right, just that everything I've seen shows ISU as having a legit shot with Vaughn.
Som e people prefer to be pessimists, rather than realists--let alone optimists.
Not sure, but I know that Baylor and Iowa State are at the top of his list currently.
Two big weekend events to watch, the first right down in Des Moines and the second up in the Twin Cities. Both will likely have members of the Iowa State staff in attendance. Des Moines features Clayton Custer as well as Jarvis Johnson & Reid Travis among others. The Twin Cities event will include Rashad Vaughn, Henry Ellenson, Amir Coffey and more.
I kind of doubt that we're still recruiting Reader and Soumaoro after thr Edozie commitment, but here is a recent article about Daouda anyway...
