I'm sure someone has mentioned this but 11 of the last 12 predictions for Iowa State on 24/7sports. Wow.

Pretty much what you're saying is SCOREBOARD! But that's the truth.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I understand UNC has obviously landed more recruits, but lets be real...its freaking North Carolina.
They are a traditional blueblood program with tradition back to Dean Smith. He better be able to recruit there. I'm confident that if you put Fred in that position, he'd be able to bring in some talent.
But he's not in that position and Roy is, so props I guess.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Trust me...as ISU fans we know all to well that Roy is a great recruiter, probably one of the best out there (w/ Calipari and Coach K). He continuously steals recruits that could have / should have gone to ISU. (Hinrich, Barnes, etc..)
But....we also know that Roy is not good at getting the best out of the players he recruits (IMO his coaching totally misused H Barnes when he was there), and Fred has as many if not more NBA connections than Roy. I think that these reasons are why we are so optimistic about Vaughn, it feels similar to the Royce White situation. ISU is close to home for him...we have an exciting offensive scheme which will showcase his skills, and Fred has many NBA contacts.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
I hope you guys get vaughn and you do lead for him. But lets mot throw stones
I like that response... all I know is from what I read something went bad there... with roy usually its a handler roy refuses to go through a so called family representative choosing the fam instead. As for Barnes I love him but I thought he should have picked duke and rivers should have picked unc. Just my opinion. And no fred does not have the nba connections that unc does it isn't the cosch its the tradition of coming back to chapel hill after you have left for the nba. Btw unc's tradition dates back way further than dean smith who is from kansas I believe. It dates back past frank maguire to before ncaa was even formed first national championship 1924.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
UNC players get into the NBA on talent, about where they should be based on that talent. Not knowing much about Roy or UNC, I would guess their connections don't increase their positioning in the draft or get their undrafted players the same opportunities that Fred has shown he can provide. Based on a small sample (of course) I feel like Fred got Royce in a lot higher than he should have, and has gotten players, that normally would not get an opportunity, an opportunity to tryout for an NBA team.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
It could be a bad thing. UNC would of been out of the picture for Vaughn if Johnson would of committed there today.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
Johnson commits to UNC, it would take UNC out of picture for getting Vaughn. UNC was early favorites to land Vaughn. Talk has died down between the two quite a bit. Just had a in home which tar heel fan said did not go well. Still has a offical with UNC later this month.

Re: Rashad Vaughn
If it didn't go well, I have a guess that Roy wanted a commitment and tried to pressure him to do so saying there wont be a spot for him if he doesn't. Vaughn called his bluff and things got awkward. Yep, just made it up, can I work for CNN please?
