Ha. Screw it, I'm leaving it that way.
Stinson Jr. "Spurned" Iowa State?!
- Thread starter NorthCyd
- Start date
I don't follow recruiting super-closely but it seems weird to me that a guy has offers from Iowa State, Nebraska, and Missouri, and chooses to go to North Texas?
Interestingly, journalism is 85% sensationalism 15% news; a dramatic shift from when I grew up where it was the other way around. I started seeing the transition when the internet started replacing brick&mortar. I can't blame them because they're in survivor mode. I've always looked for point/counterpoint as a means to let the truth bubble to the surface. But, now it's more confusing than ever.
North Texas vs Houston in the NCAA title game next year. Book it.
Well, headlines are designed to get your attention to get you to read their article. Even if the headline is misleading, the verbiage used apparently has worked
And for the record, I don't like misleading headlines, even if the headline is not written by the author. It's a quick way to lose creditability

Maybe he wants to play 1,000 minutes as freshman instead of hope for an injury to players in front of him to maybe get a couple hundred minutes.
I think we'll see this more often as kids realize that they can grow a lot more by playing somewhere for their year or 2 then transferring to the bigger schools.
Agreed.
Went from the #49 recruit in this class back in 06/23 to # 207 currently.
ISU did offer him back on May 9, 2023 according to 247. I would think that TJ pulled the offer when he didn't develop as expected.
I gave you a "Dumb" reaction. Not because of the post, but because JLH should never be spurned!!
I personally think it'd be pretty cool for him to develop and play well with the Mean Green, and then come back home. Not saying that is what will happen, but it would definitely make for a better article than this crap.
I don't follow the high school recruiting very closely, but is there a Will Blaylock, Jr out there?
We might end up with "Post Tamatic Spurned Disorder."
You haven't done enough, apparently. This is coming from someone who had a 35-year career in journalism and for much of that time, was the guy who wrote the headlines. Yes, some writers may suggest headlines, but they are rarely used in my experience for a variety of reasons. If they were going in a newspaper, the reason might be the suggested headline didn't fit. If they were only going online, where they like to use a lot more words that someone might be googling, the reason might have been the suggested headline wasn't nearly descriptive enough.
In today's NIL world absolutely nothing surprises me. Daniyal was recruiting him and wanted him so he told the collective to get him. That's how I assume it went down.
Or
Curtis is betting on himself. Like one mentioned above, he is going to go and hang some stats at the Mid Majors this year then enter the portal and make more with a resume than he could out of high school. This is a different different world. The only ones who will survive are the rich and those who are able to think outside the box.
Likely similar to how he transferred to a Prep School for his senior season of HS. The Valley bball team was stellar with or without him, so I don't think he really got to shine like he wanted.
I think your take is a really good one and probably pretty accurate. It would be significantly better for him to get some early playing time at a school like NT, then transfer to a bigger program as opposed to sitting on ISU's bench without any meaningful film to transfer out.
