What makes the difference if the players come from Iowa or not? How many conference tournament championships has Iowa won with their instate recruiting? I think it is ridiculous there is so much hate especially spewed by the Iowa fans. That might be expected when the teams play each other but we should all be for all of Iowa's schools the rest of the season. I guess some people just cant help themselves but to have bitter thoughts all the time. I call them bullies.ISU just signed Ernst (late) out of Clinton...he is the first Iowan to commit to ISU since LA Pomlee (remember him?)...and that was 2008...zero Iowans in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 .. either ISU coaches don't do a very good job recruiting the state or don't put much emphasis on it ... Hoiberg included.
Iowa has signed 7 Iowa kids since 2008...so far in the class of 2016 ISU zero...Iowa 3. Iowa is way ahead of ISU when it comes to in state recruiting. That doesn't mean Iowa should sign a kid just because he is from Iowa...but its' pretty obvious why a Wieskamp verballed to I O W A when ISU came calling.
ISU can call themselves STATE ...they just don't have very many state of iowans on their basketball team...like 2 in the last 9 years.
