UConn offers Rashad Vaughn

You would be very surprised at people's opinions of Ames versus Storrs. I've known people who worked in Ames. They were vastly prefer being in Storrs.

No, Vaugh may avoid KU. Playing time. The twin brothers won't give in. Not so impressed with Vaughn. To be fair, Boatright - much smaller - can jump higher and is faster.

Boatright is faster and can jump higher than most players. While that certainly looks cool on a 5-10 kid, I doubt Boatright's vertical makes up for the fact that Vaughn's got 8 inches on him.

That is, of course, what she said.

Does his highlight video truly have a shirt and skins pick up game? And him crossing over blondy all game dosent impress me.

Guys he's the real deal. Done deal. Say what you want but if he came it would be a huge get for Ollie or any other coach in the country.

I agree, real deal. Not sure how much better he is than Hill or Terrell though. All three are different players, but all very good. Carrington is probably a half-step behind right now because of height/size, if he was 6'5-6'6 or 220 he would be in their league or better.

Not sure why the comparison to Boatright or the twins at UK. Boatright is a PG and the twins will be one-and-done at UK (a class ahead of Vaughn).

You realize they're talking about an Iowa State coach that's from NYC, right?

Sure, New England does, but if you've lived in Iowa City then you know that there's a hell of a lot more going on there than in Storrs. And I've never been to Ames but given that it was just named by some publication one of the best college towns in America, I would bet there's more going on there too.

Also, if "UConn will be on the rise yet again in but a few years" is what we have to offer, who in their right mind would come to play here? There's a post above scoffing at the idea that a kid would be more attracted to playing at ISU than UConn right now. All things considered, I don't see what's so unreasonable about that.​

I don't know but a quick look at that thread suggests that a few people there think the contrary....

Well, I suppose that settles it.
