Is Fran going to end up with a recruit that held one other major offer? Yall should just stop spending money on recruiting.
Why change the subject? Try and stick to bloating the offer list for ISU commits.
And yes, I consider Cincy a major offer and they are in on Ogundele and it sounds like he is Iowa bound.
How big will the meltdown be on CF if Foster chooses Iowa?
Blackwell said he held offers from those schools. Period. Those coaching staffs were actively recruiting him. Offers of course change as recruiting classes take form. Good luck with Foster! Itll be a meltdown for whichever fan base that misses out (maybe both).
Iowa been recruiting Ogundele for all of 10 days. Highly sought after recruit there.
His biggest drop was from when rivals brought him down from a 4 star to a 3 Star. From what I heard he had a pretty poor summer scoring wise in a good number of tournaments. Every other recruiting service still has him as a 4 Star but since the rivals ranking holds the most weight besides 247's rank in the Composite score he fell pretty hard.
How long Iowa has been recruiting him has no impact on if he’s highly sought after by other schools.
What would you expect from a program who’s coach shoves an opposing player?
When did that happen? He had a 47 spot drop in a month span back in the summer of 2018, a 51 spot drop in June of 2019 and then another 47 spot drop about a month ago.
He's also dropped 70 spots in 247's rankings since his initial ranking so it's not just a Rivals thing.
I do not think the meltdown at CF would come close to the meltdown here if he picks ISU. Many of the posters at CF are so young they do not ever remember a prized recruit from Iowa picking ISU. I do not ever expect it to happen since it has been almost 20 years since ISU signed an Iowa kid in the fall signing period that stayed in Ames and contributed more than one year. Hawk fans however do not have experience losing in state kids to ISU. I honestly feel he will be a Hawk until he says otherwise.
Do Iowa fans hang out on their boards or something? Half the people posting on here are inbred sheep fornicating Clown tards.
This board is joke.
He has fallen no question about it but Rivals is the biggest reason for his overall composite score drop. 247 has him as a 4 Star and the #124 Ranked player, ESPN has him as a 4 Star and the #91 Ranked player, Hoop Diaminds has him as a 4 Star, Verbal Commits has him as a 4 Star, Future150 has him as a 5 Star and the #18 Ranked player, Rivals has him as an unranked 3 Star.
No need to go to Cyclone Fanatic. Cyclone Fanatic comes here.
Ha, this is the same moron who constantly talked sh** before the football game this year, then Iowa won. Chickensh** changed his name so he could come back, lol, what a life.
I like Chris Williams. I listen to The Fanatics and prefer him to Ross Peterson. Wish they would get a Hawkeye that was more informed and in particular the Hawkeyes than he is.
I don't think Foster is a make or break recruit for either team. He may actually be more important for Iowa considering how they play with two bigs and their reliance on in state recruits. I think though that for either team he is a guy that will be coming off the bench his Freshman year. I think more important for either team is that they keep their best player next year in Weiskamp and Haliburton. That hurts teams like Iowa and ISU more because they rely on 3-4 year guys and when you lose guys early it kind of sets you back.

This conversation actually raises a good question about recruiting services. Which service is best or most reliable?
I tend to rely on ESPN because they have, or at least claim to have, the largest and most stable group of contributors (less change from year to year) and a pretty consistent set of metrics. Plus, ESPN is not throwing any undue love in the direction of Iowa recruits. ESPN typically has a larger base of HS coaches contributing so they are picking up guys from small towns, small states or little or no AAU participation. ESPN also seems more focused on college potential rather than NBA potential.
Josh O has dropped hard on ESPN also. He's down to a three star 76 grade. By comparison, Cordell was a three star 77 after his injury.
BTW, lived in DSM for almost 40 years. Our sports media is not particularly well informed or insightful compared to similar urban areas around the country.

This board, IMO is definitely stricter on Iowa fans when it comes to dropping the ban hammer. Trolls can post here all day long, but the minute you joking respond to them, banned. At least in my experience anyway.
It just gets old. I really don't care to banter back and forth on the sports boards. It's kinda fun on the OT board but here I just want to read about topics on Hawkeye sports without opposing fans hijacking threads.
The mods do a good job of letting a lot of stuff slide, which has its pros and cons. Sometimes, though, it gets old.
