Foster Visit

[CyHawk555]

Outside of Morris are any of the others doing more than passing out Gatorade and towels?

I'm not sure that putting 7 benchwarmers in the NBA is a deciding factor.

All the ISU fans act like the disparity of pro talent between ISU-Iowa for basketball is comparable to football.

Iowa actually has recognizable all pros in football. Nobody outside of Iowa has heard of the guys on your list.

Passing out gatorade and towels? Hahaha. Matt Thomas just signed a three year deal worth $4.2 million. He will make more money in the next three years than Peter Jok makes in his lifetime. Georges Niang - Three year $5.0 million deal. Where is Uthoff again? Monte Morris may very well make in excess of $100 million in his career. If you dont think this stuff matters to recruits I dont know what to tell ya buddy.

Also, the disparity of ISU players to Iowa players in the NBA is currently 9:0. So you're right, you cant draw any comparisons whatsoever. NFL is currently approximately 3:1 in Iowas favor. Pretty drastic difference.

None of them are "bigs".

 

[hexumhawk]

Does this put one of the final nails in Fran's Iowa coffin if he cant land this recruit?

 

[Hayes_30]

Technically he is not that big but Niang is a post player. More of a stretch 4 as opposed to a transitional post player.

Uthoff is with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Come back and gloat when they actually play meaningful minutes in a real NBA game, Clown.

I'm sure they're okay making millions instead of slinging insurance 9-5.

Sharing some mediocre stats about people you have no direct relationship with is one thing. BRAGGING about some mediocre stats about people you have no direct relationship with is just odd. Why feel the need to share this useless stuff on this board? Did u expect people to say “You know this guy is really smart and has some great information. I think I would like to hear more from him”.

In the NBA? I never would have guessed that he had the size for that.

 

[EpenesaEpenesa]

How’s his defense. Is he a rim protector

Consider therapy.

Or heed Legend's advice.

Was merely responding to the uninformed poster saying Iowa State doesnt send players to the NBA. Thatd actually be Iowa. Simma down now Grandpa!

 

[CP84]

Nobody outside of Ames thinks of Iowa State as an NBA developmental school.

Meanwhile, Iowa has all pros and future HOF on NFL rosters.

Kittle is the best TE in the league
Marshall Yanda is a future HOF
Micah Hyde is a pro bowler
Desmond King is a pro bowler
Brandon Scherff is a 2* pro bowler
Mike Daniels is a pro bowler
Casey Krieter is a 2* pro bowler


Osemele is about the only active cyclone in either sport to do anything meaningful.

LMAO why are you discussing the NFL on a basketball board? I openly admitted Iowa sends three players to the league per every one Iowa State does. Hit rock bottom as a basketball program when this occurs.

Admittedly, I don't follow the NBA that closely, but outside of Monte Morris I can't think of a single former Cyclone I've seen play a meaningful NBA game in recent memory.

From what I've skimmed through this thread, it seems most if not all Iowa fans recognize former Iowa players are not tearing up the League, so the only purpose your incessant posting of being the taller midget seems to serve is your apparent need of a self esteem boost.

No one gives a shit. Iowa State basketball is not anyone's measuring stick for aspiring to greatness. Again, therapy might be more beneficial to you than posting inane drivel on an Iowa message board regarding the Who's Who of NBA pine riders.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

No one said that.

Your entire family needs to be raped and pillaged for you even being alive. You should have been fed to the pigs the moment you were born.

I always enjoy the constructive feedback you give others on here.

To point out how ridiculous it is for you to thump your chest about a group of players at least 90 percent of the country has never heard of.

In other words: Iowa NFL players > Iowa State NBA bag boys

The point is to draw the clear distinction in what is perceived as a professional developmental school.

Football recruits often cite Iowa as a place that develops NFL talent. That's the reason they're in on elite blue chips like Theo Johnson. Recruits recognize players like Kittle and 1st round picks like Hockensen.

Nobody outside of Ames looks at a few NBA benchwarmers and says I think I'll go to ISU because they put a few benchwarmers in the league.

It's not a recruiting advantage at all.

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

Not sure what all this back and forth about whose is bigger has anything to do with Foster's recruitment. Sounds like we are probably in the final 2, so that is reason for optimism.

Step 2 in the "useless bragging posts" handbook is to follow it up with some personal attacks. You are following the playbook perfectly.

Yes ... love when posters carry on and on ... about anything BUT the actual topic ... I might as well toss in a 'Hey, anyone gotta a great wing recipe?'

 

[David1979]

Less than a month to go before a decision. Obviously looks like an instate battle. I think his injury this summer prevented him from getting more attention which also caused his drop in the rankings. I also think before that he was seen as someone who hadn't improved that much from the prior year. It will be interesting to see what his Senior year is like. .

 

[CyHawk555]

Uthoff is with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Already waived

Love doing wings in my air fryer. From the freezer to the plate in under a half hour.

Alot of his ranking drop off too was because he didn't play in the top level AAU Circut when he did play AAU.

Kid from Florida with offers from Marquette, Ohio State, Florida and Florida State etc.. saying what stands out about Iowa State is they send players to the league. Go figure!

 

[H4wkfan4life]

I think his heart says Iowa City but his head(not the one that thinks) says Ames.

big fan of the big farm gals?

 

[Ballhawk1221]

big fan of the big farm gals?

Big fan of the ISU cheerleader he's been dating.

 

[Hayes_30]

Really not the definition of the girl he is with but whatever floats your boat I guess.

 

[iclone]

Guards/Wings - ISU is more guard oriented, - not necessarily Stretch 4's

 

[H4wkfan4life]

Big fan of the ISU cheerleader he's been dating.

OH, ok that makes sense.

I thought he was trying to say the girls in ames are better looking or something

Sorry, I don't follow recruits girlfriends

I don't neither just seen him around osky with the same girl a few times and was told it was his gf

LOL if you think that kid had all those offers to choose from when he picked ISU.

Rivals shows offers from ISU, Florida (poster on CF confirmed this one wasnt committable), FGCU, Okie State and Pitt.

TOS shows offers from ISU, Okie State, FGCU and Mississippi State.

 

[TCOOL]

Alot of his ranking drop off too was because he didn't play in the top level AAU Circut when he did play AAU.

What do you attribute Blackwell's free fall in the rankings to?

Kid has dropped 93 spots in the composite since he was initially ranked.

 

[BBHawk]

Classless move. Typical of clone players, coaches, and fans.
