Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

Well I trust his offer list and the coaches who wanted him over you or some ranking. Alabama, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Georgia, Indiana, Louisville, Northwestern, Virginia Tech all wanted him, so I'm happy Iowa got him.
Ha...reminds me: I went to a school with D3 athletics and I remember a teammate getting grief for having a '4-year tat' that was a badly drawn mascot with his scout-team jersey number that he only had his freshman year. I don't think he ever really played but he had no choice but to stay in it.
I know. That's why I said I wouldn't want him, we don't play bad basketball
I guess those teams I listed above all play bad basketball too then according to you.
Louisville and ND don't but they're always looking for big practice bodies
Lol, this Garza kid doesnt look like he'll run anytime soon but to say we dont need below the rim bigs, isnt that exactly what Niang was?
Dude, what? Did you just compare Garza's game to Niangs'? Just because he is big and slow doesn't mean he is anywhere near as skilled as Georges
Not at all, he looks alot slower and less athletic. What I did say is Niang was a below the rim guy also and that worked out pretty well.
Okay, whatever helps you water down what Garza actually is.
Just so I'm clear, we're now comparing an Iowa high school player (Joe Wieskamp) with 3 offers all from within the borders of Iowa, to a kid that plays for Oak Hill and had 16 offers? Despite what the early ranking say about Wieskamp, he's not on the same level as Wigginton.
Weiskamp is going to end up being Matt Thomas, which is fantastic, but hok fan expectation will probably destroy him just like we tried to do to MT.
In contrast, Lindell Wigginton is going to be Lindell Wigginton if that makes sense.
A 4-star center with other power 5 offers? Not too shabby, lets not act like he's some fallback recruit like Kreiner.
Wanted him or offered him? I know hok fan is far far out of the top circles of recruiting so I forgive your ignorance.
Got a question for Hawk fans, and ISU fans if they have an opinion: Besides Tom Izzo, who is the best coach in the Big 10?
Thats just weird because according to composite recruiting service of all the other recruiting services, they both have exactly the same .9823 rating.
You know more than recruiting professionals now?
They'd be lucky if he has a career like Matt, but yeah, the comparison seems legit. Joe is going to likely take 2 years or so to adjust to the college game whereas Wigginton will be an immediate impact starter from day one.
