RECRUITING INSIDER: Rasir Bolton decision coming soon (commits!)

[Cyclonepride]

I'm not saying he's the greatest shooter of all time I was simply saying he was a pretty good shooter who took and made some tough shots throughout his career at CSU. He also had a full year of practicing his craft and competing against really talented guards during his off year.. If he isn't better now than he was at CSU, I'd be a bit disappointed, but we'll see. I'd be completely fine with Halliburton breaking his guy down when we need a shot, get by his man and kick it to an open player / shooting the ball himself.

Tyrese seems to me like a guy who might peak around 14-16 pts per game, since his game is more about efficiency than volume, but who could fill a key offensive role next year by doing exactly as you suggest.

I'd be completely fine with Halliburton averaging that while also averaging 5-6 apg.

Lets not lose sight that Kansas lost out on their top recruiting priority yesterday to a pro league in New Zealand. Double win for ISU.

Yup, the KU payouts this year were less than what he could make in NZ, evidently. Tough times in Lawrence.

Don’t be ridiculous. When they handed over that shoebox full of cash, they didn’t ask for a signed receipt. Kid isn’t dumb—he gets both.

"Rasir's visit to Ames also featured something else ...

A conversation with former Cyclone and current Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris."

""He’s in the NBA playoffs — but he’s taking time off to talk to me," Bolton said. "It was pretty cool just talking to him, learning about basketball and how he sees the game because he’s so good — his assist-to-turnover ratio and how he plays, and of course he's in the NBA playoffs. So just trying to get the game from that perspective."

To Ray Bolton, Morris' willingness to spend time helping his former coach recruit a player showed how Prohm forms lasting connections with his guys."

It helps when you have actual NBA guys talk to kids about a program rather than Iowa City All stars

Generally speaking, when something like that boils out into a public setting, it's happening privately, but worse.

Imagine what happens in Iowa City

I always thought the exact opposite. I felt like George embraced it immediately, and it took Monte half a year to come around. Also the displays between Monte and Prohm's son show their bond in his SR year.

Pretty sure Georges and Prohm started off great with Prohm having an open office for Niang all the time to talk about bball life whatever, and CSP picking Georges' brain about approaching his senior year.

Same here. Seemed like Georges was a critical piece in the transition.

I’m shocked. Two Hawk-obsessive posts in a row—in a thread that has absolutely zero connection to Iowa.

That does it, Brady committed. Now Iowa won’t offer, so that they don’t have to say later that they pulled it “because they like someone else better”.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Said this before but I’ll say it again —

The way Prohm won over Georges, Monté, Naz, Matt, and Deonte tells me all I need to know about the hands the program is in.

Hok recruiting prospects get to listen to their parents and relatives talk about the Fry and Olson days.

Careful you may be called “obsessed”

Man, that program is reeling right now. Remember when we had people claiming no signings in the first two weeks of the spring was a sign of trouble? Sounds like first world problems compared to what these guys are going through.

Penn State right now reminds me of the McDermott years. Everytime we thought we had a good team. Something would happen like Wes Johnson transferring.

At least Penn State is making the NIT.

Also, the upperclassmen got together and decided that it was important to buy in and make the most of the new coaching staff. It takes effort by both sides (those who come in and those who were already there) to make a transition like that fully successful.

Very true, though if the new coach steps on his crank a few times, it's really easy to lose the room.

And I just want to add that my comment wasn’t that I don’t think Georges didn’t work well with prohm or that he didn’t trust him or anything like that.

It was simply that it has never seemed like they had a close relationship. I think Monte and prohm did.
