Mass exodus at Iowa?

Re: Mass exodus at Iowa?

Davis is going to Minnesota State-Mankato. Kelly has family that lives in the Terre Haute area, but that's not official he's going there.

Also, a couple sources have told me Jeff Peterson may leave for Missouri State. He has family in the Springfield area and a very big fan of Cuonzo Martin. However, he would be forced to sit out a season.

Re: Mass exodus at Iowa?

for you retards...Kelly is from Marshall, IL right across the river from TH. he went to carmel his last two years of high school to play in one of the best conferences in the country. his mom moved there as well because she was raising him as a single parent. she then moved to solon when jake came to iowa, as she already had a sister living here. his mom died tragically last summer and he has since decided to move back to TH to be closer to his dad.

kelly was a pretty good recruit out of high school, despite being a little overlooked due to the depth of his AAU team.

its really not a funny situation for Jake.

Re: Mass exodus at Iowa?

Everyone is making like the recruits are jumping ship. That rivals article on Kelly made me think that Coach L may be giving people the "resign or be fired" option. He may simply be trying to clear schollies for a new batch of kids, figuring it can't get much worse than 2009.

I am guessing that JP looks toward a high-level academic school.

Peterson is looking to Missouri State, so that theory is out the window.

Mac is finding that out? Have you looked at his recuits coming in? With brackins and the guys he is getting the next couple of years, ISU has a chance to be really good. I don't think his style has hurt recruiting at all.

They are leaving because they don't want to play meatgrinder basketball. If Brackins goes to the NBA they will be lucky to win a dozen games next year. The rest of their roster has zero Big XII talent.

No. I'll ask you again, have you seen the kind of recruits they have coming in next year? They have some really good players coming in. Top 150 type of players. If Brackins leaves, they will have problems, but it would not be total devastation.

Mac basically plays the same style as Iowa, and he is recruiting well.

please you make the big 11 or big 12 sound like it is the NBA. Have you watched the tourney, teams like Purdue and Wisconsin, tough on defense go to the hoop when they can but mainly try to penetrate inside kick it out and take a three or perimeter shot. Reminds me of us. 95% of all the teams in the tourney BCS or not play this type of basketball.

A "Small School" like Cleveland State runs and never stops running. Western Ketucky also runs and runs and runs. The term meat grinder is very outdated. Pushing the ball inside and taking it to the hoop when you have a chance but also mainly kicking it outside for the perimeter shot is called smart basketball. It has nothing to do with conferences it is the way most teams play these days. They try to create high percentage shots.

I think UNI showed that they are capable of this kind of bball at a high level in the second half against purdue.

If you think meat grinder is tossing it around the three point line until time expires then that is just bad basketball. UNI is capable at that as well. And we lose when we did it.

I'm an ISU fan, but I'm sorry if Brackins leaves next year we are screwed again. I'd imagine a 10th place preseason prediction and 9th or 10th at the end of the year, ahead of only TT, CU, and NU.

Look at the recruiting classes the rest of the Big 12 is bringing in. Mac is doing a good job improving the recruiting but really we have about the 8th best class in the Big 12 next year.

What's the word on Brackins? Has he hinted one way or another? Do most people in Ames assume he is gone?

LOL, it is always next year with Iowa and ISU, last year we got to hear how Lucas Steiger was the second coming of Magic Johnson. After watching him play he wasn't worthy of the hype.

IMO Mac and Lick will never play run and gun no matter what their talent is.

BTW, there are rumors of another ISU defection today.

Nothing yet. It is assumed he will declare and not hire an agent. Most think it will be 50/50, but who knows. I wish him the best either way, it's been too long since we've had an ISU player drafted.

BTW, there are rumors of another ISU defection today.

There is a guy I trust that said it was Eikmeier.

So who are you talking about.

BTW, KWWL has the Kelly to ISU story up, so it appears it is a done deal.
