Which of the other schools on his list are losing their starting 1 and 2 and have 0 others players on the roster who have ever done anything at those positions??? You act like every other school we ever recruit against has a wide open roster. I'm so confused as to how you can talk about needing to earn minutes, then turn around and say there are no minutes available for this guy when LITERALLY NO ONE at the 1 or 2 on the 2017 roster has ever earned a minute. It makes no sense. I'm sorry, but this is as good of a situation as he is going to be able to walk right into. And no, I'm not announcing him as a starter. I'm saying there is nothing stopping him from being able to play from day 1 if he is legit. |

There are lots of 5 stars and 4 stars who were "promised" playing time and came in a sucked or had attitude issues or didn't work hard. You think a good coach is going to put them on the floor because they made a promise to their handlers? Come on Waite |

There is plenty of playing time available in 2017 at the guard position for kids who are good enough to contribute |

I believe he is on his visit to Iowa St this weekend. It seems like there is high mutual interest here. I would think it's going to come down between us and them. Just seems ISU has the advantage here with him.

If we are recruiting kids who aren't sure if they have what it takes to be as good or better than our current players...then we don't really need them. You can make playing time promises until you are blue in the face...they don't mean anything. There has to be a contingency there. "If you listen to me"..."If you work hard" etc. You can tell a kid they have the talent to play right away in ANY scenario...it doesn't mean it will happen. From what I understand Mick doesn't make empty promises...maybe he should but that's another issue |
