if NCAAB recruiting was WWE, Vaughn would be picking Minnesota while giving Pitino the 2-sweet NWO salute simultaneously while Norwood announces a home and home series with ISU starting next year in Ames.

Iowa St boosters couldn't come up with enough money in the end?

LOL, that's pretty over the top.

Kind of pissy of an assistant to act this way via twitter. If he was convinced of his hashtag, he would be over it already. Cardinal Strict is a nice school and Rashad might start right away.

Wow. This comes off as pretty childish.

UNLV had the #1 pick in the NBA draft last year and is bringing in a potential top 10-15 national class in 2014-15. I'm guessing assistant coach Stacey Augmon knows something about what it takes to get to the NBA. It's also an area of the country that he is now familiar with and a fun city if he's just looking to play one year of college. Plus, they draw okay, even better than Minnesota.

Guess you're right.

Why are we blaming Rashad Vaughn (or his "people") for a ridiculously speculative article written on a Minnesota website? There is absolutely no evidence that he had anything to do with this. We are way too quick to demonize teenagers whether or not they've done anything wrong. I think some of us are watching too many re-runs of Jesse Ventura's show. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Demonizing the kid? He jumped into the shady side of recruiting with both feet, bolted with his "mentor" to sin city and then was all butthurt when the Star Trib had the audacity to write an article that questioned their relationship. And now, magically (wink, wink) he ends up at UNLV, a small drive away from this prep "school" he now attends. Trust me, this demonized teenager of which you speak loves any and all attention he gets. And he certainly is no victim.
 



The ISU staff are acting like complete babies. Spilling the beans on a kid's college decision because things didn't go their way.

hilarious. The meltdown on their board is the best reading material I've seen in months
 


I really hope recruits remember this about the ISU staff and how bitter they are and doing what they can to ruin the kid's big announcement because they didn't get their way
 


I'm OK with this. Out of sight, out of mind, playing in an obscure conference. Have fun with all that!
 

Reading the ISU board...Something I've never understood is why people put these kids on a pedestal and then when they go elsewhere they trash him. A recruit no matter how good he may be doesn't make or break a program. He would of helped their program but ISU will be there long after Vaughn's short college career and more importantly the U will be here long after Vaughn's short college career. Both programs will be fine....unless Hoiberg is coaching the Wolves next year which is starting to look likely.
 

ISU thread is pretty amusing. first it started out with everyone calling the initial report BS and saying stuff like don't ever believe a woman reporter, than someone posted a tweet from an assistant apologizing to the fans and saying he tried the best he could, and than they all said he was probably referring to the game against wvu, then it was noted that said assistant coach unfollowed vaughn right after making that tweet, and then the story turned into this probably joke that RV and the coaching staff are in on together, than wolfson, james, and isu writers started to confirm that he isn't going to ISU, and then it finally dawned on them he wasn't going there. For the most part they have been classy about it, most blame the handler, and saying fred should never recruit a player with one anymore, and others think he just wants to play with his buddies at unlv. Was really interesting to see all go down in front of my eyes with minutes

You could have your own preposterous statement tournament solely of posts from that thread

Uh oh! Cue the 'Pitino to ISU' rumors. He commented on how cold it was on his show last night a couple times. He might be drawn to the tropical climes of Ames.

Not saying you specifically, but weren't a lot of us guilty of the same thing when Travis went to Stanford? Admittedly and regrettably, I was among them.

Not proud of it, but somehow my day has gotten a little better with this news.
 


Loving the meltdown they are having while denying they are having a meltdown.

kinda interesting that ESPN has Vaughn visiting NC this weekend. Why would he do that if he weren't going there. I have no idea how long it has been up there.
 

They have an 853 page thread on this kid on CycloneFanatic.... W...T...F....

First, I'm glad ISU didn't get him.

Second, I want to know where Kaffey ends up in all of this. Vaughn doesn't sign until the spring, and I cannot imagine UNLV would mention that Kaffey got hired today. My guess is that Kaffey gets named to an assistant at UNLV sometime on a Friday night when March Madness is going on. I'd probably go with the first Friday. That way, they can keep it as quiet as possible.

I think the decision was made last summer and it is only a matter of time before the Kaffey announcement is made, I like your timing about that.
