He said nobody was contacting NN for two months, I said he didn't know that. I structured the sentance poorly.

Hoping Georges keeps him from finding out about CF.
No kidding. I always picture when a recruit sees their name on this forum and the initial excitement they must feel, only to have utter disappointment when they read through the thread
Yeah....now forgive me...it's 12:30 so this may not be a great idea....but I'd like to see a pinned thread that's content only. Could be a player, coach or someone on the know tweet, article, or story that the mods approve and there's no discussion or posts (not that one couldn't be made). Could also be content a poster finds....some of you guys are really good at this.
or just something where people who are not on often can come find recent information that don't want to dig thru our endless individual comedy routines or bickering.
This thread has got off topic so many times that I stopped going through every post. I was pretty sure someone had posted it but I was too lazy to read through pointless convo.
Haha, I suggested that a few months back, and got ripped to shreds. CF'ers will resist anything that is too logical. The argument was that the spammers and trolls would purposely come in and muck up that thread, and it would be too much work to police it. Cause you know...we can't make rules and expect anyone to follow them.
Surely there is a way that the admins on here can figure out how to approve posts prior to them getting posted. My Lord you can do that on Facebook in groups....pretty sure it can be done here.
No biggie just an idea. Would be nice to see content only then decide if I want to get into a thread and sift thru all the filler.
Some people think this is a news site? What everyone is describing is a news feed, not a forum thread.

Just do the team stream app from Bleacher Report. That's what I do and it gives me breaking news an twitter updates on anything ISU related from national news outlets, Hines, Lagesse, etc.
So it should be called "Cyclone Facts",the truth, not lame opnions. I'm all for a "FACT" blog.
Post the source, leave the information and leave it at that.
I was reviewing the Rivals 150 list and there are quite a few highly ranked kids that not only never had much interest from the blue bloods, but little interest from ANY schools. I think your main premise that if NN is good he would have many suitors is faulty from the beginning.
I don't think you're hating on NN. I just think you have a bad assumption on why or why not he is being pursued by other programs.
The real reason is there is no incentive for the site owner to make it easier to get information.
Like a grocery store putting milk as far away as possible from the door.
I think it's a faulty premise that this late in the game the entire country doesn't have a spot for him at this point. This late in the game, there are not many options for teams and many many more missed on their top options than the teams who are too talented to consider a top 12 PG in the country.
Personally, I think two things:
1. Nick Noskowiak is a top 10 talented HS prospect left uncommitted in the country, to my amateur eyes and the eyes of the recruiting services.
2. There is no public record of any major attention for him for 2 months from anybody, let alone the type of programs you would expect.
Looking at number 2, I just wanted to look for a reason for that to be the case, and the most likely scenario to me (not the only possible scenario, or even over 50% likely) was that there is a gap between college coaches evaluation of him and the recruiting services. This was not a popular opinion, and I got roughly one million replies about how stupid I was, to which I replied. I got a lot of crackpot answers and people got mad that I didn't immediately accept them, but almost every answer has some flaw to it.
Other explanations I got were the NCAA tournament was in the way, he is risky because he didn't play basketball for a bit, nobody has room for him.
I'm going to go ahead and say nobody has room for him is absolute ********. I'm not expecting there to be 60 teams after him, but a handful would be, you'd think, considering the rarity of recruits with his talent level.
Another option I was given is maybe he was being super secret about his recruiting for some reason those two months and he was getting tons of offers and he was just waiting for TJ to come back to ISU and offer him because ISU is his dream school, and nobody recruited him after that because it was so obvious he wanted to go to ISU.
My best guess is the NCAA tourney slowed it down a bit and maybe he was being very patient for something to open up. The radio silence on his recruitment for that long is very weird though, there's no getting around that. It isn't normal for a kid ranked that high to have zero information for that long that late in the game. Looking at that VCU decommit gives context of what I would've expected to happen.
But anyway, I'm sure he'll commit shortly and maybe we'll get more details then.

There's been stories about his dad being way too involved. Also this probably doesn't help after he continues to switch schools.
