Eastern has to sit out, right? If he does I’m not sure if that impacts JCL at all because I believe they still have one scholarship available.
The fact that they are pursuing Brown now makes me think they might know something about where JCL will be going, or not going.
Did not initially see the date and was like WTF how does this kid still have eligibility.
Well, it does feel like it's been that long since the basketball season ended.
There has to be some tampering going on there. Kid wasn't in the portal 2 days and has a home with a conference rival no less
Kind of like NFL and NBA free agents all have $50+ million contracts in place somehow even though the free agency period has been going for <24 hours.
Not really. I mean we landed Tyler Harris pretty darn quick after he entered the portal. Prior relationships help a ton. Wanting to play for an NBA coach that is well known. Ton's of reasons
I read that in the NBA evaluation process many teams wanted to see him at PG, and that he didn't think he'd get that opportunity at Georgetown. I know a place that needs a PG, and a coach with a pretty good track record with PGs...
Sorry if that was confusing haha. Figured that one was far enough removed.
Wild story that Spike played the game of his life as a freshmen in the National Championship loss to Louisville and then had a pretty unremarkable career. Injuries played a factor too if I remember correctly.
Don't disagree but ISU isn't listed in McClung's initial contact list.
"The schools that have reached out to McClung so far are Florida, Auburn, Texas A&M, Arkansas, USC, BYU, Wake Forest, Tennessee, Gonzaga, Utah, Arizona State, Oklahoma State and Georgia, sources tell 247Sports."

I haven't actually seen Prohm involved with any of the recent transfers, unlike back in April where it seemed ISU was associated with 4 out of 5 after they announced. The optimist in me leads me to think the staff is confident with a couple of names they are farther down the portal with.
The NFL has the "legal tampering period" before free agency opens to help it not look so obvious.
Yeah, so now they just announce the deals immediately when the tampering period starts.
That doesn’t mean we won’t reach out, that or we did and he didn’t care to mention us.
But hopefully that means they think they can get Harris a waiver, and/or feel good about the three known guys we are linked to. Also maybe someone we don’t know about.
Or maybe they think they can get a recruit or two in next years class to reclassify... although most don’t like big classes(not that it matters much these days).
I'm sure that some kids reach out informally through intermediaries (friends, family, coaches, etc) to schools that interest them before entering the portal.
