RECRUITING: New Isaiah Stokes information

[Bestaluckcy]

Meh. 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 6, 6. Lots of elbow issues

A little more beer with help you get past her elbows.

Not a single "expert" has changed their crystal ball prediction to Florida. One is "foggy" now.

Duh, they don't change Crystal Ball picks after a player signs.

With the NCAA's myriad of rules, I'd be amazed if it was legal for Florida to keep under wraps the fact that someone had signed a LOI.

Who knows but I'm certainly not worried about anything coming down on ISU.

Famous last words when it comes to ISU and the NCAA... :/

Florida must have some kind of Animal House double secret letter of intent exception.

What's the deal with Stokes tweeting at Scout and then deleting it almost right away?

From the Ames Tribune story: "After Scout’s report, Stokes tweeted at Daniels, “no i have not. Could you take this down please.” Stokes’ tweet was deleted within minutes of its posting."

I wonder if he wanted to be the one to announce the signing.

 

[Bestaluckcy]

So 1 He signed.
2 Got held up by compliance
3. Two weeks is up today.
4. No comment.

Maybe realized whatever he had to say it should be in a DM and not a public tweet.

So if he signed, didn't tell anybody/Prohm & Co., then it was basically baiting us into violating NCAA regulations by continuing to have any sort of contact with him, based on the fact that he attended one of our games and we sent staff to watch him play in Florida?

There's nothing illegal about him coming to watch Iowa St, or Iowa St coaches watching him play, even if he was signed. Nobody ever said they talked with one another.

 

[CarlHungus]

Sucks, but we'll be fine without him.

 

[Prone2Clone]

What in the wild, wild world of sports is going on here?

 

[acgclone]

What is the deal with Small's recruits? It's one thing after another..... lol

You're killing me Smalls!

 

[isufbcurt]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was like the Sedrick Johnson incident where a parent who wanted him to stay close to home filled it out, signed it and sent it in without him even knowing.

Probably far fetched but we know it has happened before.

 

[Prone2Clone]

[Dingus]

So I assume this is how this plays out:

1. Report that he's signed with Florida.

2. Stokes denies report.

3. Stokes deleted denial.

Tomorrow:
4. Stokes announces he's signed and/or verbally committed to Florida.

WTF, he signed 2 weeks ago!?

I think he's from Tennessee so not really staying close to home.

It makes zero sense for FL not to announc this 2 weeks ago then...zero...every single program and player announces once signed for numerous reasons one of which is to make sure no one else contacts your signed commit..

I'm still trying to figure out Stokes tweeting about being at the ISU/Gonzaga game on 11/27 when he apparently committed on 11/16. Free tickets are free tickets I guess.
