Marvin Clark

I can. That paycheck is out there as soon as you go to the NBA. Why ruin your last chance to play for fun by following what really amounts to pocket change compared to what you will be making. Have fun in college and play where you want to play rather than following the benjamins. If injury is the concern, you can get an insurance policy for the amount of any under the table payments in college pretty cheaply.

If that is really the best environment for a player - great for them. If a player is making the choice for the wrong reasons it is really stupid.

When you got nothing, 30k or a house in a different neighborhood, or even an apartment paid for your family in a different neighborhood or whatever the going rate is a lot more than pocket change. If he's from Antioch like his Rivals says then getting your family out of that craphole might be the difference between life or death. How much is that worth? Would you want to wait for a couple years until you get to the league to make that happen?
 
what makes you say that? i have watched him with the team and one thing is obvious, he's a real leader, something this year's team sorely misses on the floor. i've never seen him play myself.

He visited ISU before KSU last summer and our staff didn't feel he was Big 12 caliber.

Fair enough. His situation may be an exception rather than the rule. Or it may be nothing like that. I guess I was taking the comment in general rather than his specific situation; my mistake. Cam Newton's family really needed the money.

Most of these kids aren't from Brooklyn Park :wink:
 
just curious if they, like others, didn't believe foster was big12 quality, as you say was the case for edwards. and i truly don't know about edwards, as i've never seen him play a lick. i do like his way around the other guys though.

Its not like Foster was some complete unknown. Rivals had him as #40 PG. OU offered him. ISU happened to have a PG already in Monte Morris who has worked out pretty well for us so far. Kind of stupid to bring Foster up when ISU didn't even recruit him.

well, we'll know soon enough on clark and next fall on edwards.
 
Lot's of teams might have looked at and turned down Foster, but ISU simply didn't need a PG. Morris covered our need there and has been one of the best freshmen (especially non 1 and done) in the B12.

Neither am I originally.

By the way, as long as we are joking about it have you ever been to Brooklyn Park? It's no Antioch but not all of it is a walk in the park, if you'll pardon the bad play on words. There are kids that are trying to get out of some parts of Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center and North Minneapolis as well.
 
Is Marvin still expected to announce tomorrow?

From yesterday:

Just spoke with Marvin Clark's AAU coach Buzzy Caruthers, who said Clark still has not set a definitive decision date. We'll have more details in the VIP Room today, but Caruthers said he still expects the decision to come towards the end of the week, but wouldn't be shocked if the decision even came next week.

My money is still on that decision coming this week, but we'll see.



Also, if I'm understanding correctly, he also now holds an Indiana football offer.
 
Too lazy to look up the link, but I read from a recruiting expert that Iowa State is no longer in the picture.
