Was Ulis there today?
Yeah he tweeted he was having a good time at Iowa but it was time for a nap.
It's common for basketball recruits to leave at halftime. It's not newsworthy.
that's kind of weird...
If he were to choose the Hawkeyes, it would be nice if he would do it sooner than later for gathering teammates which compliment him. A SF who knows Ulis is on board would be more likely to sign.
Ulis is visiting MSU and Kentucky both in the next week or so. He has already said that he will not be giving a verbal to UK on his visit and I would imagine the same would hold true for MSU.
It looks like him and his dad are taking their time with this and want to discuss everything once the officials have been taken. The longer the process draws out, the better for Iowa IMO.
I think he wants to go to MSU but he doesn't want to be one of 2 pgs coming in the same class. And MSU just like what Iowa did with Gesell and Sapp seems to want to do that.
Where would you go if you were in his shoes? It would be a huge pickup for Fran and set a new trend for the basketball program. My son just graduated from high school last year and one of his friends is an All-American rated wrestler. Guess where he brags about going as he puffs his chest and he chin up in the air? Yep, he is going to be a Hawkeye. It's going to be difficult for Fran to compete against programs like MSU and Kentucky just as it is for other wrestling schools to go up against Iowa because of Iowa's reputation for being the BEST. If Fran pulls it off then I say give that man some of KF's salary. I am not saying it isn't possible but the odds are not in our favor.
This may be true. But if so, why is Iowa even still in the picture? Why isn't it just between MSU and UK? The Ulis camp has been up front in saying how much they admire Fran's forthrightness, loyalty, and style of play. I think his actions say that the star power definitely is a factor but not the only one for Ulis and his dad. Even if we don't get him, it is obvious that players like him consider us maybe not on the highest level of programs but back in the national picture. If we're the right fit, we can compete.
