Yeah, transfers have been through the process and know better what they want and don't want, and have an idea of where they would fit. It's also a lot about trust, and I like Coach Prohm's chances in a contest of character and sincerity.
I don't know if Martin actually was talking to him though. I think Mizzou fans were hoping he would ask out of his LOI. Brad Underwood went to Groce's recruits and talked them into reaffirming their commitments.
Go get that Bacon Prohmy (Or just hire their dad!)!
yes the top players from Council Bluffs and Cedar Rapids would know each other pretty well.
More and more I'm not sure that character and sincerity is really what most high level transfers are looking for.
I would like to believe that is what they're after, but I don't see it very often.
Not all. A lot see the name on the jersey and little else, but there's some of the more mature guys out there, and that will be enough.
Boy, agc got caught in one of the multi-post time warps (I got rid of the duplicates). Posting on mobile?
You do realize that guys at that level play AAU ball together for years? Do you think all the Iowa kids that play for the Barnstormers don't know each other? There are kids from around the state.
Big gets are coming, hopefully. They'll never have more to sell.
Alright well when Marial commits to ISU and cites his relationship with Naz as a key reason I'll gladly eat crow.
I doubt it's a great connection, not one that wins you a commitment. But it's enough to gain you a chance to recruit him, given what we know about transfer recruiting from around the country the past several years. Even a close mutual connection is often good enough.
With a new staff that came from lower levels and mostly spent their careers at low majors (except for Hobbs) we don't have the advantage of previously recruiting the better transfers.
