Iowa fans are such idiots
RECRUITING: Xavier Foster recaps official visit to Iowa State
- Thread starter JStanz51
- Start date
From 48th to 17th as of today
That's a fun read.
There's a surprising number of posters who seem to get it - Fran sucks at recruiting.
I hadn't thought about this until now, reading that thread. People keep saying the Murrays could redshirt. That would essentially mean they had to redshirt twice! Once for the prep school year and once at Iowa.
These are players Fran is recruiting LOL!
With Fran's current roster and incoming class next year Barta and Fran might need to use cars in place of pizza.
That made me laugh. Thank you for that lol.
Take your cardinal and gold sunglasses off, put that cup of Cardinal Kool-Aid down and...
Imagine picking Iowa basketball over ISU.
I can't.

I can't.
Besides immediate playing time they have no recruiting advantage over us. Facilities, program direction, fan support, sending you to the league, etc is all in our favor
Predictable post in 5....4....3....2....1....
"This NBA roster thing is a big heaping spoonful of "who cares." Funny, I don't see virginia on here, which has been one of the best programs in the country the last several years. Funny, I don't see Michigan State on here, consistently one of the best programs in the country over the last 20 years. I don't see Louisville, or Gonzaga, or Syracuse.
I do see Texas, and UCLA, and Indiana, programs that get lots of high caliber players, but haven't been really good in about a decade. Call me a hater, but I don't think Texas did anything particularly special with Mo Bamba to put him in the NBA.
Finally, of ISU's 8 rostered players, only one plays meaningful minutes. This isn't like Iowa football alum who are pro-bowlers year in and year out.
This "but our NBA players" response is a shiny narrative that doesn't mean much when you look behind the gloss."

He should be good and safe if he calls or texts him. Telling him in person is something I would not advise.
The Rutgers 2020 class has more P5 offers than Iowa.
They have one commit.

Farmer is exclusively at 247. He has no inside knowledge. At least, he's not coming to the table with anything. Several other posters there are and it's quite the contrary of Cyclone Report (surprise, surprise).
This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read.. First of all, Louisville, MSU, Gonzaga, and Syracuse regularly put guys into the NBA and always have great recruiting classes. It's whether or not those guys actually continue to play in the league or if they choose to go elsewhere to play.
Comparing Iowa to those schools, or even using them as a justification is asinine and a slap in the face to those programs.
Second of all, it doesn't matter if some of our guys aren't seeing the floor in the NBA. Do you know how freaking hard it is to get minutes?? Only 15 guys are allowed on a roster, 5 get to play at a given time, and then you actually have to be good enough for the coach to even give you a shot at minutes. I'm not knocking Iowa for putting guys into the NFL, but it is much much easier to make an NFL roster and get snaps than it is to make an NBA roster and get minutes.
