RECRUITING: The latest on Talen Horton-Tucker

[ChrisMWilliams]

Recently picked up offers from Michigan State and Kansas, which obviously isn't ideal.

It seems like Iowa State is going to stay the course though. I do not expect the Prohm staff to bail out early on this one. They feel like they are in a good position. We'll see.

Situations like these usually don't turn out well for Iowa State - especially ones that extend beyond the summer. Usually top high school prospects who sign with Iowa State are ones that commit early.

That's the latest though. Expect the Cyclones to keep pressing.

ISU can still offer an opportunity to play immediately. I don't know if I could say the same for MSU or KU.

I think both could depending on who leaves.

You can always say that about them.

I thought THT was going to be a fall commit. Did he change that to spring or am I thinking of someone else?

We need him to be a fall commit.

Coach can tell him that the last time a PG picked ISU over Michigan St, it turned out petty well.

MSU didn't offer Morris.

Izzo went on record saying he regretted it a couple years ago.

This is the key. Probably no harm in recruiting him this fall, although I'm not sure I would turn down someone like Zion Griffen or Ahrens to wait on a unicorn.

If he pushes his date back to spring, you know it's over.

We are certainly not going to get all the highly rated players that we recruit, but we're going to get our share. If you look at all the studs that have passed through here, almost all of them had opportunities to go to some big name schools, and chose Iowa State instead.

Have we ever beat KU for a recruit?

Have we ever beat KU for a recruit?

Dunno. But I do know we've beaten KU recruits.

 

[srjclone]

Have we ever beat KU for a recruit?

Probably not, and that is the exact reason why Bill Self threw out this scholly and the one for Shakur. I'm sure of it!!!!

 

[CyTwins]

Malou who never showed up.

Problem is, usually those guys have committed by now. Wigginton is the one example who went the other way. They could very well pull this off but generally in recruiting, the longer these deals go, the worse it is for ISU.

I don't think we're going to get out first commitment for a month which is going to seem like an eternity.

When does Tyler Harris Officially Visit?

 

[Knownothing]

The thing that sucks is it will come down to us and someone else and they never pick us it seems like. Even though recruits have done just that plenty of times. I always forget that guys like Wiggington did pick us. I just remember all the failures. Hopefully we get some good guys commiting soon. I hate having to wait till the spring to start signing guys. usually when that happens the guys we get are not even on the radar at this point and are back up or back up to back ups options.

The same weekend we beat UNI

Terrence Lewis didn't recruit until August 9th. We got most of our commitments last year after September, even if half of them didn't stick.
