Their plans didn't change in the last minute.
Well, if we do get Gant, he probably wont be able to play for us because he apparently has an agent already. I talked to someone who is closely linked to Justin(more than just a friend) and that is when they told me. Maybe they were wrong, lying, or something changed. I don't know. Of course you seem to know everything about him and every other one of our recruits.
As it relates to the IU game, they were just wrong. As for the agent stuff, that's silly.
Do I seem to know everything about Justin's recruiting, as well as every other one of ISU's recruits? :bigsmile:
"Every" is an exaggeration, but I would say the Indiana kids and certainly the 2011 kids.
Yeah JimR your knowledge seems to extend beyond Justin Gant - I was at the Classic game and I thought that Gant got really caught up in the moment and you can say that would happen to about anyone in that same situation, but I wouldn't agree with that. The Smith kid didn't provoke him to do that - Gant is a physical player and he kind of just throws people around and thinks he can get away with it. He dropped the Duncan kid with a bow or something when they played the Lions and it would seem that he would be tough to take down.
Trueblue that talk about the agent is kind of silly, no chance that he has an agent. He might have someone that is offering guidance or advice but that doesn't make them an agent!

Oh I didn't get what you were saying, I guess I didn't read it that way... My fault.
Little Eddie
The All-MVC Level
Everyone is so testy lately...don't know why as the team is 9-4 and playing decent of late.
This will be an intriguing process for Gant...will he choose to stay close to home and play w/ lots of guys he's familiar with ((RJ, Jake O, Jake K, the Eitels and Kitchell) or does he go elsewhere, possibly BCS to make a name for himself?

You seem to be saying that he couldn't make a name for himself at ISU? :bigsmile:
I have always wondered why kids think they have to go to IU or Purdue to "make a name for themselves?" Go to a Big 10 school and be just another good player, or come to ISU and stick out like a sore thumb. Think Stephen Curry gets as much attention at Duke as he did at Davidson? I doubt it. Think Larry Bird gets the same "legend" at IU? Don't think so. Same thing can happen at ISU today. Lead ISU to the Sweet Sixteen - you'll be a national story. Why don't kids get that?
BTW, Eddie, I knew what you were saying. Just havin' some fun with 'ya!!!
I don't think I know everything about Gant's recruiting. It just works out that way. :bigsmile:
As for whether or not anyone would think you think he had an agent is up for grabs. You've presented bad information about his recruiting and insisted it was true, with perhaps a last minute change. It's hard to tell when you're joking or not. :krazy: :talktohand:

Who's to say I presented bad information? I even talked to a parent of a North player last night at the TH North game who told me they were told he supposed to be at that game as well. Maybe you have bad information as I am going to stick to what I was told. Why is it so hard to believe he may have been asked to go to the IU game? I mean Michigan had him as a guest at a football game.

It's not hard to believe he may have been asked to go to the IU game. The fact is he didn't go, and he didn't have plans to attend that game. I don't have bad information.

me. I don't have bad information.
Ok. That's fine. We've beat a dead horse. I may of had bad information. It wasn't on purpose. You can ask people on this board. I've always been dead on with my information so I could be wrong this time.
I didn't suggest or think you did it on purpose. I don't post information about a kid unless I know from the kid (his parents) or the school. I just think that's the best way to go about things in the world of instant communication.
'11 F Justin Gant Video
The older this kid gets, the more his confidence builds and the stronger he plays. He has some great post moves and unlike most guys his size.....he is athletic. Check out this video from a home game earlier this year. (I was at this game and these were amazing plays, especially the second one in the video)

A cool photo I came across but forgot to post. It's a block Gant made in the Martinsville game.

How in the world you get beat by Martinsville with Gant and Anderson inside is beyond me, either Gant aint as good as advertised or some coach should have done lost his job. What a joke, this year's North team only scored like 30 to 40 points a game, how do you do that with a big man like Gant who is getting looked at by major schools across the country? Turble man, just turble....

The Wade Level
Agreed.
Kind of hard to work the high low and feed the post when you don't teach your kids to make a simply post feed and the player posting up doesn't know what he's doing. I don't know how many highschool basketball players I have watched in my day not be able to make an entry into the post. Granted I had my flaws, but if their was one thing I could do it was pass the basketball and making a post feed (done correctly) is actually not all that difficult to do.
I mean if they would work a high low game with Gant and Anderson they would be sick. I would run my entire O with the ball in Gant or Andersons hands in the high or low post - not at the top of the key like North did. Silly, Silly, Silly....
