Josiah hasn't been admitted and might not be. Guess what, that's why we took Moore, not b/c we want two PGs, one very small, the exact same year, w/the same eligibility. That's what you call a hedge, my man. We have offers out to every elite PG in '14, w/Mudiaye being the #1 prority for us in the entire class. We didnt even decide to bring Moore in to visit until almost 6 weeks after he declared he was leaving ISU, and we had Jank as an in? That's a reaction to Turner and a hedge against admissions and/or Josiah's inability to straighten up.

Nick Russell (K-State transfer) is a PG and will be a senior in 2013...

Nic is a baller. Pretty much lead ISU down the stretch. I love the pick-up, b/c he's a proven commodity w/lots of eligibility. Has a huge chip on his shoulder, and likes the big shot. If you already have Josiah/Manuel/Head/Bernardi/Uche, you don't need length from Moore, just play-making. He'll give us that.
Lets get Goodman!
Nice call, absolutely correct so far (except this season) AND he spelled his name right.
Think of this though, in 2012, at one point, people were imagining a possible starting lineup of Josiah Turner, Ryan Manuel, Crandall Head, Brian Bernardi and Uche Ofoegbu with Savon Goodman possibly added in the mix and an outside shot at the Harrison twins...shows how little we've really known and how much things have changed in the last few years since Larry got this thing rolling...still so thankful for where we are now, let's go undefeated into conference play

Wouldn't trade for nic, no matter the current problems, but who would have thought after last year and Yannick in the games the second part would be relevant two years later.
