So not knowing a backup pg says you’re not a fan? There aren’t many nba fans then.
Xavier Foster
- Thread starter mtdew_fever
- Start date
Nobody knows the backup point guard.
Wrong! All NBA fans have every roster memorized, including all the G League teams.
Hooper - Count me as one that appreciates your insights. It seems like Iowa State’s sources are hearing that everything is pointing towards Iowa. Are you hearing similar things? TIA!
Capp Timm on Cyclone Alert seems like an in the know poster. He claims to have sources inside the program and they are positive he's going to Iowa.
Their whole forum is in meltdown. I've seen them ripping on Fran, Iowa's recruiting class (which will be higher ranked w/Foster than their own) and ripping on the Foster's.
Only if it is bad news!! You will be lauded as a prince if you say what the masses want to hear!
I'm telling all you clowns that Morris is a name in NBA circles. He is the most well known Clone currently playing in the NBA. I'm not talking about from an Iowa or Iowa State perspective here.
He's a decent backup and as you said, most well known Cyclone. That proves my point; when your most well known NBA product is a backup, recruits hardly see your program as an NBA developmental program.
The HR cynics value their own opinion over the truth. Their rips unfortunately carry more weight than they should.
Or you more accustomed to the stupidity that flows from deranged Cyclown forums, that include the mentally ill like CyTwins.
CyTwins, to my knowledge, does not post on CycloneAlert, the forum you said was in meltdown. Twins is a moron. If he is there, it is not under that screen name. If you are being honest, the Cyclone Alert forum has for a while been very even keeled on the recruitment. If ISU gets him, great final piece to the class. If we do not, then life moves on without him. I have seen no meltdown there. If you are referring to a meltdown on CF, I do not post there so you could be entirely right about that.
I haven’t seen any of what you are describing on the rivals Cyclone site. Just not true. Most assume he’s going to Iowa, but will wait and see.
"They really needed Foster, but their recruiting class is still very poor." (Myth: per 247 Ulis is > Walker and Perkins > Dubar)
"I do feel bad for the kid, he's clearly getting horrible advice from his coach and parents. Hope he enjoys NIT trips." (Myth: round of 32 is > than losing to the 11 seed in round 1).
"Iowa is at best a bubble team year in and year out, and the kid just won’t have much talent around him." (Myth: next year could be playing with 3 other 247 four stars)
"I'm mostly excited to see the massively overstated expectations that will come from this. They had Sibley as an All-conference pick just a few weeks ago." (Myth: never saw any posters crowning Sibley all-conference; he's a 4 star talent worth recruiting)
"Have fun with that mid major roster." (Myth: Iowa has won 2 of the last 3 head to head and per Kenpom is higher ranked this year).
"Foster must be impressed with this competitive low major game tonight." (Myth: Iowa won by 27, covering the spread).
"That Evelyn transfer is horrible. Nunge looks like a freshman again with more weight. Toussaint doesn’t look as bad as I thought but he’ll get sick of Iowa and Fran and transfer back east I’m guessing." (Myth: Moss transferred as a 5th year senior. ISU meanwhile just had two freshman recruits transfer).
Well, there are but they're all Red China. How do you say Morris in Mandarin, or is it Cantonese?
Meh. They are acting no different than a lot of Iowa fans when it comes to the "other school."
I dont Understand Iowa State fans bagging on Iowas program right now. Over the last two years we have more wins, and more NCAA tournament wins. I dont think what we’ve done is impressive by any meams, but ISU is right there with us. Finally, their last two recruiting classes have been just like ours, what am I missing?
I think nearly everyone who is close to the program or follows it closely has a pretty strong feeling about what school he will choose. However this is Xavier’s show and he ought to be allowed to run it.
True, we all saw how the irrational Iowa "fans" acted after losing in football this week. You know who you are.
I don't get it, either.
Many act like their basketball program is miles apart from Iowa's. Over the first half of the decade, that was certainly true. But the past four or five years? I don't think so. And head to head, it's been whoever has home court lately.
The best is that Capp Timm had Cyclone Alert believing XF was a silent commit over a month ago.
CyTwins was telling Cyclone Fanatic it was in the bag.
The absolute arrogance is unraveling on them.

So now you are copying and pasting from subscription forums? Isn't that a no-no? Should I copy and paste your own posts where you express concern about Iowa's recruits other than Foster being Brandon Hutton 2.0, Foster's Dad being like Lavar Ball and mock Fran's demeanor? All the things that you say ISU fans are saying that constitutes a melt down? ISU fans are just being typical fans, but I see little to no melt down.
Oh boy, I'm really giving away Insider information with what I posted. Feel free to report me.
As for my other posts, I see nothing I disagree with. The entire recruitment of Foster has been strange and has primarily run through Dajuan. That is abnormal. Go look at any other Iowa football or basketball recruitment and rarely is the dad the primary source quoted.
The Hutton comment of course is taken wildly out of context. Every recruit has a risk of being a bust. 3 stars can be hits or misses. I like every current recruits' potential but was prefacing that everyone also liked Hutton and Fleming too.
You're so full of wild generalizations but can't argue one factual point made in my post.
Well for starters you’re using Iowa States worst season in a decade to make a claim that our programs are in similar places. But hey, no room for rationality on this board right?
Obviously it would be slanted towards Iowa since it is an Iowa board. Are your cyclone boards rational?
You blast ISU fans for saying the same things you do. I easily found where you questioned Foster's family, question Iowa's recruiting class relative to ISU's and mocked Fran's behavior. It is just funny to me is all.
Both programs are even. Maybe a slight edge to Iowa St. With that said, historically Iowa's program had been much better than Iowa State. NCAA Appearances, NCAA wins, final four Appearances, head to head matchup... Across the board it's all Iowa. As if this moment they are about the same though.
Are you referring to the quotes I extracted from ISU posters or where I labeled them as myths?
I don't think you understood the point of my post.
So you can't use the last 3 years because that's not enough sample size for you and makes Iowa look better.
Also can't use the full history of both teams because that would also make Iowa look better.
Maybe you can pick the ISU favorable sample size for us Twins.
I think u might be going away for awhile...someone is definitely going to be disappointed tomorrow but I tend to believe that won't be Iowa.
