That list is almost a who's who of "dirty" programs

It stings when we don't even land in the top 8 of the top player at our position of desperate need. Especially considering he is friends with our top recruit, we can offer him 4 years of starting at PG at a Top 25 ranked Big 10. Part of the blame has to fall on the shoulders of the coaching staff for not closing, but from the schools the kid likes, part of this falls on the kid's desire to get paid to play.
LSU, seriously? They had the #1 player in all of college bball last yr and barely made .500. Cal was known as the biggest underachiever in college bball in 2016. UNLV/WKU? Good ol SMU, fresh off its top 25 season where it was banned from all post season play.

If he put that Iowa uniform on I could get past it.....I don't need a neurosurgeon.
How do you close on a kid like that?
I was thinking the same thing.

Well kid is from Illinois and only has one local school in his top 8, which is his home state. Most likely wants to get away from the Midwest and is just entertaining the Illinois offer. All of his schools are in bigger cities except two and are in hip locations. You can see where his priorities are, good chance this kid doesn't make it to the NBA or through college for that matter.

Their, there, they're. Really? People need to quit putting down recruits who say no to Iowa. I would love to see him come to Iowa and still think an effort should be made for him to come check things out. It's very doubtful he will find the quality of facilities at the other school that he will find at Iowa.
Regardless I wish the kid the best where ever he goes........ Unless he is playing against us.

Sometimes people get what they wish for.
Just talking hypothetically here since I have no inside knowledge, but if our coaches recruited an athlete based on the values of our program but the athlete wanted to go where he would receive money to play, thus his final college choices as listed were places where he had such offers of money to play, is this a bad reflection on our coaching staff? If so, I'm happy they have such a poor coaching staff because I don't want to be a part of a sports program where we sacrifice values for the sake of winning.
Again, not putting blame on other programs as I certainly don't know anything about their recruiting processes, but the failure to get in a player's final 8 schools may be a good reflection of our program.

I would hope our staff wouldn't waste time recruiting a kid twice if there was money being exchanged. I don't see this situation as a good reflection of our program considering Moore is exactly what we need
