Eli chooses, Fran loses

[Expert]

So just to clarify you think Fred is a better recruiter at Nebraska than TJ is at Iowa State?

I think its way too early to tell.

 

[Thinker]

So Wisconsin doesn't get the cream of the crop from the state? Got it

Oh but they do. Look at how consistently good to great they have been for 20 years. Best program in the area by far. Even more so than Illinois.

If TJ doesn’t get credit for Tyrese Hunter, he doesn’t get credit for Grill either.

This literally makes no sense.

 

[CyTwins]

So far, and in the past, yes Fred has been better. Not much of a comparison.

Fred's 2020 and 2019 classes were absolutely brutal. Like Fran level bad

 

[CyPunch]

More so for you guys yes. Iowa does not recruit the Wisconsin area hard. Wisconsin usually gets the cream of the crop up there.

Well this couldn't be more wrong

How did Fred do with getting guys to Ames? If Fred pulled in the transfers TJ just did you guys would have been scratching your heads.

Fred was great at getting guys in Ames. He's been horrible at it in Lincoln

I'm not worried at all about TJ's ability to get players to Ames, he played a significant role in building those rosters.

Not going to lie, I worry about Shaka Smart recruiting at Marquette

I'm not sure why you say this. Shaka wouldn't touch the caliber of player Fran likes to bring in.

Tyrese was a Prohm recruit. You guys got Haliburton, and Matt Thomas out of Wisconsin in HS. Who else am I missing?

Harder to do in Lincoln IMO. That place is just awful all around. But, he has gotten talent there. It is much harder to do now than it was 5-10 years ago.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

They do, or a blue blood sweeps in. Haliburton was only a 3* that Prohm developed into an NBA talent.

I disagree. Stylistically I think playing for UW-Madison is a turnoff for a lot of players.

You said Wisconsin gets the best talent in the state. They never get the top kids lol.

 

[NDMARTIN2015]

A lot of past cyclone players mentioned TJ was who got them to ISU. Look it up. Fred Hated recruiting and he took some big L’s at ISU.

Really? Dekkers ring a bell?

 

[BCClone]

So it takes you 13/14 years to know if you want your coach?

Likes to mull it over.

His 2021 class is pretty dang good though lol

Patrick Baldwin Jr, Tyrese Hunter, David Joplin, Brandon Podziemski, Jalen Johnson, James Graham, Tyler Herro, Joey Hauser, Tyrese Haliburton, Sam Hauser

Fran has done good, not great in Iowa City. I have accepted that and as long as he is here, I will still cheer for Iowa.

 

[CyTwins]

Oh but they do.

No they really don't though

Wisconsin has 3 four stars in 2021 and none are going to Wisconsin

Wisconsin had 1 five star and 1 four star in 2020 and neither went to Wisconsin

2019 Wisconsin didn't take an in state kid

2018 Wisconsin had 3 four star recruits and none went to Wisconsin

2017 Wisconsin had 1 four star recruit and he didn't go to Wisconsin

2016 had 2 four star recruits and neither to Wisconsin

I think this is where I insert the mic drop gif
