He said he wants to play at a higher level. I doubt he has the MAAC on his wishlist. Jon Rothstein @jonrothstein 11m11 minutes ago
Maine transfer Issac Vann will visit Iona on 4/9, source told @cbssports. Averaged 16.4 PPG as a freshman. Three years remaining.We should try and bring Vann in for a visit. Iona is. KK's head might explode. Yes. Yes it would. You all would need new shoes. Patsos should be at this kid's house. Right now.

Iona has mastered the art of roster gymnastics. Roster is never finalized until first game of the year. Seems to be the direction college game is heading, for better or worse.

They see talent and they go get it faster than everyone else. Credit Grasso, credit Cluess...they get it done. They have like 9 people visiting. They recruit by getting in with a lot of talented recruits rather than focusing on a few. They react and act quicker than everyone else.

I wish we'd recruit the guys they have been, barring any academic/character issues. My point was more on the state of the college game, Iona being a microcosm of it. No scholarship is safe. Even at Siena. Good to know were on this kid. Would be a huge get for any MAAC program.

But it's good to hear we're involved with the kid. This is the type we should be involved with.

Then name the 9 guys we have visiting If we're 'actively recruiting for 2016' in including Vann as you, yourself say...then what's the difference? Either we're recruiting him or we're not. You tell me.

You tell me. We KNOW we have one. Just because you don't know, doesn't make it not true. Iona doesn't know. They're guessing Allen (poster called him star of the incoming class) won't make it grade wise. Big difference in recruiting philosophy.

We are not getting Vann-- whenever you have a lot of competition for a kid, Jimmy usually doesn't fair well, he usually gives up and says kid wants to go higher- we cant get him into Siena etc. Ever take a look at the city Rocks roster- just about every kid they have is linked to George Washington ( thanks to Carm) we aren't listed with any of them despite one of our asst coaches specifically being hired to recruit the rocks. Maybe he is doing better in NYC Jersey area--opps ain't getting anything there either. Don't want to say Jimmy is a lazy recruiter ( opps said it) but if he is, he damn well better have a strong staff, I like Manning and Watson. Other guy isn't helping us recruiting from what I can see, head coach is ultimately responsible. Jimmy cleaned up one mistake in Luke last year and Paige this year- two mistakes left to clean up- lets hope Jimmy has "balls" to do it

It just seems like a double standard for the Standard. The Crown Jewel is perfect as we all know, but you don't know what is going on in Cluess' office.

You have to sell the kid hard, Siena has a lot to offer. Tell the kid he's playing in front of 6k plus in an Arena not some high school gym. You tell him he's going to be an integral part of the program and he's the missing piece. You tell him he's got 30 minutes a game. You sell sell sell..... Can't believe we can't recruit better ......
Patsos can talk he should be on Vann not an assistant
I'll say it again we need impact guys not projects. Right now we have far too many works in progress.

We know he took a verbal from a non-qualifier, just so he would t go anywhere else. Name another option/player for them to pull the rug out from?!
