Niang's ranking wasn't higher because they didn't know how his game would translate to the next level. There's a reason why Fred is a coach and these guys rape people willing to pay for subscriptions to this stuff.

Monte will play guard. :smile:

Pretty sure ESPN can gather he'll play guard, but you know there is this crazy concept in basketball where there are two types of guards.

How ridiculous is Kansas' class? #12 Wayne Selden, #28 Joel Embiid(previously not even ranked), #43 Brannen Greene, #47 Conner Frankamp, #134(rivals) Frank Mason.

#1 Andrew Wiggins considering Kansas, and #3 Julius Randle visiting Kansas on Saturday for the game vs Texas.

WOW!

Little depressing to be honest. How people keep signing up to lose at Baylor is beyond me. AND TCU? How in the world with the ****** facilities and fans support they have, are they getting 4star talent?

Wow and to think we were top 25 before the update. If Vaughn committed here he would probably instantly drop to a 4 star.

WOW!

They could sign 5 random guys off of the street and by the next update they would have a top 10 class.

Signing up to lose? UHHHHHHHH didn't they make the elite 8 last year? Isn't that the 2nd time in 3 years? If that's losing, sign me up for that too.

I remember when Brackins committed to Iowa State as a 4 star.....

He finished as a 5 star.

These people are not out to get Iowa State

That's a different way of being out to get us. See, raising the stars raised our expectations and told us that a national championship was on the way. Just what they wanted us to believe.

Then it turned out that he was only a very good player with an explosive ability to score. We were deflated, disappointed, and realized that we are Iowa State. They got us coming and going.

They don't respect Iowa State either though. It's hard to deny Thomas and Morris wouldn't be ranked higher if they had Kansas or Kentucky by their name.

Have you seen what the ESPN analysts have said about Fred Hoiberg the last 3 years? They LOVE him! There have been more positive articles written about Iowa State basketball in the last 3 years than there were the 10 prior to that.

They respect Hoiberg and Iowa State.
