I would say ISU still has a lot of work to do but I wouldn't count Prohm out. I have no idea what Carton is looking for in a school but it certainly wouldn't shock me if he picked Iowa bc they have been recruiting him so long.
****Official Class of 2019 Recruiting Thread****
- Thread starter LLCoolCY
- Start date
And ISU has considerable ground to make up on those top 3. IIRC, Carton has never even been on campus in Ames.
Not sure why Prohm did not offer him earlier.
With Carton wanting to decide by late summer, I like where Iowa sits.
Matthew Bain on Cyclone Insider the other night said he feels like Indiana is in the lead at this point.
I assume Prohm wanted to see what happened with Wigginton and if he were to leave this year, next year, etc.
I've heard his top 3 are Indiana, Michigan and Ohio State in no particular order. We've made up some ground but still have a lot of work to do but I do expect to get a visit
So sounds like he wants to play at a Big 10 school that has a good shot at making the Big Dance. Or, at least play for a coach that’s made the Sweet 16.
i think carton goes to iowa. close to home, he's buddies with patrick and weiskamp, and he'll start from day 1 and be the man.
i don't worry about the fran/prohm recruiting "battles" - they are such different kind of coaches if a kid wants to play for a coach like fran, so be it.

Indiana securing a commitment from Romeo Langford earlier this week could have a domino effect on some top-tier 2019 recruits picking the Hoosiers - including Carton
Why?
Langford won’t be in Bloomington when 2019 recruits get to campus, in all likelihood.
I don't think Langford has any bearing on Carton.
I get what your saying, but I think most can agree Archie getting this commitment is huge for their recruiting going forward. There's a buzz around IU again. It doesn't cause kids to automatically go there, but it certainly peaks their interest some when they see a player like Romeo give the new coach a chance.
Wrong.
"it seems Michigan and Ohio State could be slightly ahead of the pack with Indiana, Iowa, Marquette and Wisconsin likely right in the mix."

That also pretty much echoes Matthew Bain from the DMR:
"Iowa and Iowa State are squarely in this race, along with Ohio State, Indiana and Michigan. Marquette and Wisconsin are also in the picture, but the other five schools are the major players right now. Carton told me he's already spoken with Ohio State, Indiana and Michigan about setting up summer visits. He also said he wants to visit Iowa City and Ames this summer. His high school coach told me Marquette wants to set up a visit, too. Carton is trimming his list down these next couple weeks, and he could decide as early as late summer."

Carton WILL NOT be going to ISU barring a minor miracle. Maybe a major miracle.
I read the article but that’s not what I was referring to in my post.
He posted on the HR pay board that OSU, Michigan and Iowa are 1A, 1B, 1C right now.

I don;t think many ISU fans are expecting Carton to come to ISU. I was surprised Prohm offered, not that he isn't worthy but there wasn't a long relationship. DJ getting this attention in this thread due to being an instate recruit and the local media following him IMO. Matthew Bain for instance is now discussing DJ as the top ISU target which I doen't agree wit but it doesn't hurt his story clicks.
Kira will be getting a rating boost soon.

"a lesser-rated prospect, Kira Lewis, that also stood out and has seen his college recruitment soar in recent weeks. Arguably the fastest player in America with the basketball in his hands, Lewis has had a standout past two weekends on the travel circuit, leading to new offers from UConn, Indiana, TCU, Virginia Tech and Florida State.
A two-way producer that brings tremendous toughness, energy and potential to the perimeter, Alabama and Iowa State were two of those out in front for Lewis prior to the two evaluation periods last month. Now, the four-star guard has begun to take phone calls from Kansas and Kentucky, seeing his stock skyrocket like no one else in his 2019 class."

Agreed. That write up has me worried, however.
Prohm needs to start developing that relationship with mom
