Chieck Diallo rumors

Its fine to make sarcastic jokes, after all this message board is full of them. But, just because Diallo truthfully (and I do believe him) states "no one knows where he's going" , doesn't mean he hasn't told the ISU coaches that its not here. He still could be deciding between KU & St. Johns which I think is likely and he'd still be stating a fact that nobody knows yet. Look, everybody has a right to remain hopeful, but that doesn't mean you bash those that give their view/info/slant, etc. I still hope the Cubs win a World Series, too....and I don't want people telling me there's no hope when deep down I wonder if it ever will happen. So, yeah, I get the "there's still hope" thing.

Well then ISU would know so he would be lying saying no one knows

What???? ISU doesn't know where he's going. I never said they did. Even if they've been told it won't be here, and have moved on, doesn't mean they know where he will decide to go. He's saying no one knows where he's going, and that would still be the case. And this has nothing to do with being negative or pessimistic. What has that got to do with anything?

...... OKAY, you win.....I guess you've all talked me into it. Our staff is hopeful, recruiting the heck out of this guy down the stretch. He might come. I'm with ya.
 
Why does this guy (and others) right this stuff? It's one thing to give facts or pointed opinions on how you disagree with the "Kool-aid" but I saw your last post slight us at "we still thought Vaughn was coming to ISU even after he played his first game at ULNV...". Didn't we recruit both McCay and Burton heavily. Both went to other schools. Both play for us now.

I just don't get why on our board we'd post such negative comments when we have a style of basketball that is unique in the NCAA, a top 10 coach, a top 5 fan base, a media dandy, a power 5 conference, a projected pre-season top 2015 five team... I hate the attitude of "odds are against, why try". We land the first 5 star, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th will come that much easier.

I don't like Tuco either, but at least he has a take (albeit weak ones) but at least we know his loyality is to another team. Yours?

Lol
 
Ok, Mesa, then it works both ways.... You say some are misreading/exaggerating info or "pretending to know", then I ask you... Is it a FACT that you absolutely KNOW what you stated above; that it's not true our staff has given up on said recruit, as in we're still calling him, trying for a last push or even a visit? Cuz if you know that...then that makes me happy. Very happy. Not delusional.

Not what I said. I don't know. You don't know. And if Fred Hoiberg knows, he's not telling...and if Fred Hoiberg has given up, he hasn't told you about it. So my point, which should have been crystal clear, is that you don't know diddly squat and neither do I or anyone else posting on the board. Perhaps Chris Williams has gotten hints/indications from the staff...but he also has yet to unequivocally say we are 100% out of the running. Yet you claim to know with absolute certainty what even he has not claimed.

The difference between you and reasonable posters is that you are pretending that you know something....as a certainty...and the rest of us are happy to admit ignorance as to Diallo's choices though we understand its long odds.

If that doesn't clarify the situation for you, I can't help ya.

I hope Diallo isn't reading this message board as one of the criteria for deciding which team he wants to choose. After all the hard work the coaches do in recruiting showing the positives of playing at ISU this negative board could chase them away. That doesn't mean you have to be positive he is coming but there is so much bickering. Sure can tell who has been drinking.

I have a question, are you purely a fan or do you have a very close connection to the program?
 
He will come here to play for a great coach who will improve upon the talent he already has and do it in a high competitive conference oh and not to mention in front of the best fan base and home court in the country.

You can call me an unreasonable poster all you want but don't tell me I'm pretending to know something. Because you have no idea. You say I don't know diddly squat, because why? Cause you "do" know the opposite to be true? Or because if most don't know, nobody else should? Guess you're saying Hines was not a reasonable tweeter at the time then because of his "dead as can be" tweet a few weeks ago. There's plenty of other posters that discuss what they hear, yet protect their sources. Pretty much they're all put down, called trolls or pessimists, or worse. But you're right, been down this road before, ... I will work on my "happy to admit ignorance "as you say. And I mean that seriously. Most importantly, I know I have to quit posting in situations like this. I really do just love the bb program and come on here to see info and support the team/staff. I need to stick with just reading CW's, Blum's, and Gray's stories and updates. And that's okay. Lesson learned. No beef with you Mesa.

You are stupid for thinking this because I know stuff and people need to stop thinking Diallo is coming here and just shut up about it.
