RECRUITING: New Isaiah Stokes information
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Ridley and Gathers rode the pine alot against ISU. Big plodders like Purdues bigs would've struggled. PUs guards were not good, at least in the tourney. Physical guys that could run the floor like Devin Williams and Baylor's guys other than Rico gave us fits. Purdues guys could not run the floor.
I read this in Walken's voice of course.
ISU got another Crystal Ball for Stokes yesterday... up to 50/50 vs Tennessee. Which is nice. 
(I realize most think it is Florida vs ISU at this point. strange the Gators don't have one prediction. It is what it is.)

Switching from ISU from Tennessee is implicitly kind of picking ISU over UF at this point, else the picker would switch into Florida when they go to do it?
Sorry to be posting all these highlights today, but am home with a sick child. I found this game from last week and am surprised no one has mentioned it. I bet this was the game Phrom was at. Pebblebrook vs. IMG. Collin Sexton vs. Trevon Duvall. All I can say is that I am glad Sexton chose Alabama and not KU. I was surprised to see that Stokes doesn't start for IMG. I think he was the first or second guy off the bench. He looked good and is huge. Here is full game. It looks like he comes in about halfway through the first quarter. Must be nice to have an ESPN top 60 player coming off the bench. He has a good nose for the ball and has great hands. Hope we get him.
Thanks for the link. Stokes looks really good to me. He is very skilled and appears to have a really good feel for the game.
Thanks for the posted video. Must admit I cringe when I watch those things, tho. I mean, do any of those coaches coach or work on defense? Ugh. No wonder college coaches spend countless hours/years teaching defense to catch up these guys.
No but he did clap for us a few times as we were on that big comeback run
Dear Mr. Stokes --
Thanks for your recent attendance of the ISU/Gonzaga game.
As you know, we ultimately came up a little short.
However, two major points about that...
(1.) We're in the championship game in the first place against a very good Gonzaga team. UF was not -- defeated by a larger margin, not in a close game.
(2.) While a very good ISU squad, some of our flaws are easy for any keen basketball eye to see, such as a lack of interior size, depth, and offensive post presence.
You would be a godsend to each and all of those.
You are just what we need.
Additionally, given that Holden, Bowie, and Burton are moving on after this year, the opportunity for immediate playing time is right there. You would get to play with an exciting, up-and-coming wing in Nick Weiler-Babb and, of course, an ace PG recruit, with the same fun-and-gun offense that ISU is known for and a renewed intensity and commitment to defense.
In summary, please come to Ames. The water is the best, too.
Sincerely, ~Sigmapolis

P.S. You can't spell ISU without the initials I.S.
