HS recruiting grades

1. Tony Mitchell - .9902
2. Keith Frazier - .9837
3. CJ Noland - .9655
4. Rondel Walker - .9617
5. Hameir Wright - .9595

7. Keith Wooden - .9402
8. Demarion Watson - .9263

obviously not a future indicator of success, but Watson was pretty well-regarded out of HS...it's just yet to click at a really good ISU program

nothing but good things and well-wishes from the ISU board...this is all REALLY encouraging

DWat stepped up huge for this team in some really big spots. Wish it would have worked out where he could carve out a bigger role but I'm excited to see him find somewhere he can play and produce a ton. Will miss him for sure.

Someone is going to get a really good player and teammate , and I sincerely wish him well.

Bummed to lose Demarion but I get it. A very unique athlete and can absolutely help someone out. One of my favorite players of the last few years. I'll be rooting loudly for him wherever he lands.

The amount of love I have for DWat, if measured per minute played, is more than any Cyclone ever. He was the ultimate teammate.

Ok I’m going to get flamed for this, but oh well. I felt he was completely unutilized. He was not going to light up the scoreboard but his energy and defense was well apparent when he did come in to play. I’m also not comparing him to Dennis Rodman , but he was never a scorer either, but absolutely wreaked havoc with rebounding and defense. I don’t understand why there was never a purpose when we needed stops when the offense wasn’t doing anything for minutes at a time while the other team was scoring at will.

Sounds kinda like what we would all say about Dello around here.

We're likely gonna need a little more offensive production from Watson than what we got out of Dello, but if he's that kind of guy, I think we're all really going to like him.

I am encouraged by this.  Gives me some hope.

Sounds like coach just needs to figure out how to utilize his skill set.
