RECRUITING: Xavier Foster recaps official visit to Iowa State

There are plenty of guys on their team that are very entitled and frankly very salty. I know for a fact some of their players are mad they never got an offer from Iowa State and it gets under their skin big time. That's why you see JBo tweeting about Iowa State losing on the same night his own team loses.

Yep, also plays into why their team treats the ISU game as their Final Four, whereas most of the ISU players aren't from Iowa.

The great @Cydkar with an excellent effort to rile up Hoks.

Dudley Blackwell is a top 100-125 recruit. I'll add this point to since the Hoks use this all the time as a moral victory: Dudley was getting looked at by a lot of other top schools. However, its not like he was getting looked at by Northwestern. He was getting look at by Florida and other top tier programs. He's on Huntington Prep for crying out loud; They don't just take anyone.

Btw, no chance Theo Johnson chooses the Hoks.
I like how the Iowa poster calls ISU a joke and brings in football. Is ISU the best two wins, maybe Miss St, they've had since beating Ohio State two years ago? And it's looking like there wont be a better win this year unless they beat Sconnie.
So they are putting down their own program and conference with that statement.
 
Iowa on the other hand has a ticking time bomb as a coach, shows a ton of nepotism, has a tough time filling their arena, hasn't had much recent success, has one single guy in the NBA, and has a program that plays second fiddle to football big time. There are tons of Iowa fans that flat out do not care about Iowa basketball and are up front and open about it.

Actually, wouldn't it be third fiddle behind their wrestling program?

Wait did he just say Blackwell didn't have better offers than Iowa's commits?

FYI. The reason you set a date is so that you can plan for the celebration and have friends an family schedule to be there. It's not a superficial "look at me" moment; it's a celebration for all the hardwork.

Everyone wondering about the date, or why to wait. Isn't Nov. 11th the first day, or one of the first days, that he can sign his letter of intent? Makes since to just wait to commit and sign the same day.

Even though I've posted in this thread, I have to agree with Pants. I have a teenager at home and I have no effing clue what is going on in that head - and I know the kid as well as anyone. How can any of us have any effing clue what is going on in the head of a kid we don't even know.

there are people here that have pretty good connections. This is Iowa, not California. It’s about 3 or 4 degrees of separation for everyone in the state.

The best part of CP84's response? "If Iowa wins this year in basketball..." Lol

This is actually very true. The guys we usually have on our roster do not know anything about the rivalry, nor really care about the rivalry right away. It takes playing in the game to realize what it is all about.

Iowa's roster is full of kids that grew up Iowa fans and would want nothing more than to beat Iowa State. Their middle school and high school years were filled with watching Iowa State succeed and Iowa come up short, so that game means a great deal to them.

Unless something unexpected happens, I’m pretty comfortable with this one.
 
Love you, Pants. Picture of us together...

I don't know how legit any sources on here are but we have had some of theses same people be right about things in the past. I know that's not a lot of evidence but at least there are people here claiming that. The HR boards have no reason to believe he'll be a Hawk besides their own arrogance. None are saying they've talked to someone or have an inside source, its just mostly a superiority complex and faith in year old CB's. Not saying he won't end up at Iowa but I haven't seen anything other than an we're Iowa attitude. I love the gf angle, they are already prepping themselves for disappointment.

Its so weird how out of tune they are with recruiting. It’s probably the demo of hok fans. Older and in the 319 bubble or younger and don’t live in the state.

Pretty sure CP84 is yeahbuddy. When he was getting beat down on football, he would bring basketball into the conversation and vice versa. Typical tavern, or in his case, basement hawk.

Would be a real shame if this video were to reach CP84's desk today. Might ruin his day.

I agree with some of your statement, but players out-of-state know/understand this rivalry, just ask Niang.

The irony between this and the recruits they've signed is just too good.

No no I'm not saying the guys don't learn what the rivalry is and what it's about, I'm saying when guys first come into our program, they don't truly understand yet. Whereas, most of Iowa's recruits, being that they're from the state of Iowa, already know the intensity of the rivalry and usually have a dog in the fight.
