Hines never said staff, just that someone he talked to was still "kinda"optimistic-ish. Others are indicating not happening.
Updated Rivals150 for 2016:

Kassoum Yakwe: 49
Malik Monk: 7
Tyler Cook: 80
Miles Bridges: 28
Amir Coffey: 47
Maverick Rowan: 43
Those are the guys I can think of that we're actively recruiting but the upcoming evaluation period will bring even more names up for our 2016 prospects.

Good thing we have room! Although I think I remember reading he'll likely be a Florida Gator but I may be incorrect.
I think you can add #70 Nick Ward to that list as well although we're not listed.
The Ames Tribune's Cyclone Slant podcast from today has some pretty good input from Travis Hines.
From what he gathers, ISU is pretty much out on Diallo so their recruiting strategy of swinging for the fences with top ten rated guys will probably end going into 2016 unless they make sense geographically or there is a relationship there.
He specifically mentioned the Malik Monk recruitment will die out this summer mostly because there is no geographic or relationship advantage for ISU so it will end.

In his opinion (which is an informed one). It does make sense to focus on the Georges and Monte's of the world (50-100) as a team full of that type of kid can easily keep us competing at the top levels of college basketball.
In Hines's podcast, he said they are shifting their recruiting strategy and used him as an example of someone they won't try to recruit going forward.
Top 10 guy with no natural ties to ISU. Basically a waste of time.
I didn't think Hines ment ISU will "only" target 50-100 type players rather players that make sense regionaly and have strong AAU contacts with Fred's assistants . If a top 10 player is in Minnesota, Kansas City, Wisconsin, Brewster HS (OTZ) and Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois (Mann) I expect the staff to still recruit them.
For example, ISU is still focused on Bridges who is top 30 and Coffee who is top 50 and could move up if healthy.
Yeah, that was my assessment of his comments as well. Just going off on my own tangent.
