I'm guessing we get one regular and one 5th year graduate transfer.

5th year transfers don't just grow on trees. Not saying we won't land one, but Iowa St has been very lucky with the 2 we've got. There are just way less than regular transfers.

The problem is everyone wants a sharp shooting 5th year transfer, but you are really narrowing the list when you look for a specific type. There are just not that many good players that redshirt, then graduate, and then want to transfer.

I did do some research of great shooters that could possibly be 5th year transfers, but I'm still not sure they are going to be graduating this spring or summer.

The one I did find that is a RS JR and is a great shooter.....Tyler Haws from BYU. I would love to have him, but I doubt he's on pace to graduate because his RS year was probably his mission year.

***disclaimer: I also realize if there is any kid in the country that fits this description, then Fred and Iowa St should, and probably will be, automatically on the short list of potential schools.

Any word on Bobbitt? If we landed him and either Malou if eligable or a solid transfer (Don't care if he sits out a year), I think we would be good. I have confidence in Monte, Niang, Nader and Hogue running the show with Thomas, McKay, Naz, Custer and SDW backin them up. I would feel much better if we got a solid consistant shooter at guard in case Naz/Thomas can't get it done next year.

Just wait it out. Looking at Kane's numbers would you have picked him out as a player ISU should target?

24% from 3, 40% FG%, 52% FT%

Great point. It is hard to identify these players at this point as most of the one year transfers come smaller schools and won't be on our radar until they declare the want the 5th year. Ala Kane (Marshall) and Jake Anderson (No. Illinois).
 
Maybe Matt A learned his lesson about tweeting about recruits. Bush league what he did to RV.


He killed 2 birds with 1 stone. He gave ISU fans the heads up so they wouldn't have to sit through a press conference needlessly and he upset you.

Big props to Matt.

One senior in the top 9...

There is a certain shooting guard from Niagara that is one of the top scorers in the country that will graduate in May and his dad played in the NBA, will he leave a team that has won only 6 games... most likely. There is a recent artile about him and his dad.
 
What's the update on Josh Cunningham? I saw he hasn't committed but haven't researched much new developments in his recruitment.
 
Anthony Mason's son I believe. Maybe the Fred/NBA connection plus our history of transfers will put us in the mix on him.
