Gave a verbal to DePaul today. I really hope we ceased recruiting him and he didn't choose a mid-major over us. That would be yet another kick in the balls. Man, this program needs some good news and fast.
I guess I have never considered Depaul a "mid-major". But I agree it would be nice to get some good news on the recruiting front. Hopefully it is coming soon.
Not in terms of conference membership per se, but I was speaking more in terms of talent, history, prestige, etc. They were arguably worse than we were last year, and that's saying a lot.
You must be really young. Please Google DePaul Basketball and some coach named Ray something.
From what I understand, Coach McCaffery would have had a difficult time getting him to qualify academically for Iowa, so we moved on. But I am also very anxious to get some good news. Seems as though everyone else is signing recruits and we are still waiting for decisions. Not discouraged, just antsy.
I completely agree with this. It seems to be getting very late in the game right now to not have any recruits ready to jump on board. This staff has had a long enough time to get someone to commit here by now.
DePaul is in the Big East,has a new coach, and Brooks is a local kid. Brooks is a academic question mark,possibly,also....just saying.
I think we all know they are waiting on Olgesby to finish his visits to Minny,Ill,and ASU ...the next three weekends,and he will decide in the first two weeks of October...that is part of the process and not much you can do about that. I suspect many recruits are taking campus visits in Sept and we are waiting to hear from other also.
I do fear that if Oglesby does not fall our way that it could be a real struggle in the PR dept. I am not paniced, just anxious.

I guess I am anxious over worried as well. And from TOS Brooks gave his transcripts here and he wouldn't have been able to get in here.
IAJay,
I would've guessed that DePaul had higher standards for admittance than Iowa.

Depaul, former power in the Big-East, is now a mid major. They have been bad lately but Depaul is still in an power conference. In fact it is in the power conference, stacked top to bottom. By this argument, Iowa is also a mid-major for bottom feeding in the Big Ten for the last half decade.
Yes and Iowa St is right there as well, now why don't you just get the **** out of here. All you do is bring crap up about how bad Iowa is or they have no chance to sign this kid or that kid but yet ISU has all these transfers so look out in 2011.
I simply stated a fact, posted by idiot posters. Kool Aid drinkers abound in this forum, especially on the basketball site. Why don't you find a job?
Seriously are you 12? The only idiot in this thread is you. Run down Iowa's program over the last 5 years when ISU's hasn't been any better, now that is smart.
