RECRUITING: New Isaiah Stokes information

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.

And retweeting the fans that want him to play at isu during the first half. Wired situation - but these are 17/18
Kids who probably don't how to tell someone that is recruiting them that they met someone else better because of the attention they are getting.

Florida made him sign under duress. Jk, weird he didn't announce but the cats out of the bag. Maybe he's had a change of heart but I doubt it. No ill will toward the kid, time to move on.
 
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..
Unless Florida has other potential bigs they're trying to recruit...which you definitely would still want to do if Stokes has academic issues or qualifying issues. Florida wants their cake and eat it too. Typical SEC morality.

Who said Iowa St gave him the tickets? And he may not have invited the Iowa St coaches to his game. It's possible, at the time, Iowa St coaches thought they were still in, and they were close, so they just went to watch.
 
Darn it!!!! I really wanted this recruit. I thought with him, this freshmen recruiting class had good chance at a final 4 run sometime in their career here.
 
The only weird thing I don't get is why he tweeted that he had not signed. I understand the rest of the stuff we don't really know what happened. The school he goes to is loaded. We could have been there to watch someone else. He might have came hoping the gators were playing and when they were not he wanted to watch the friends he had met.
 
Well, oh well. I'm still curious what happened.

But if he wants to play in Gainesville, well, good luck to him.

On to the next one.

bring on the grad transfers
 
Best of luck to the kid, on to the next for the staff. In prohm we trust!

Get a grad transfer and a juco, and focus on bringing in Race Thompson in 2018, who is higher rated and looks more skilled than stokes.

Idk about the more skilled part. This one hurts even if you don't want to admit it.

Lol sounds like he was trolling us.
 
Well put this one in the glass case next to the Skype machine and Harrison Barnes. Can't be surprised by anything these young men choose to do. Makes me really appreciate Cyclones like Naz, Georges, Melvin, Monte, Matt, and all the other multi year players we have had the pleasure of watching. Great reason to never bash our players. Good luck Mr. Stokes. Now let's go find another true Cyclone, coaches.
