A few defections should be anticipated. Four signed with one or two left.

Thinking mostly out loud here, but I wonder if at least one scholarship will be left unused as a sort of self-imposed penalty, assuming ISU's internal investigation turns up anything. Or is too soon to consider that?
 
Probably not a huge surprise there... he was a super late signing last year, probably never really fit that much in O'Brien's plans (just needed another body), so not a big shock that he wouldn't fit with Evans.
 
A lot of athletes didn't fit in the O'Brien mold. Just to have another body is a poor excuse to sign someone. I wouldn't sign a player if I didn't think he could play or that I didn't intend to use. The player is better off going somewhere else to begin with. Now, that being said, a freshman going into any program must realize that he won't get much playing time his first year, unless he is a top notch player. The article didn't give a reason, but ISU probably said "for personal reasons".
 
In the last year for O'Brien, I don't think his enthusiasm was any higher than those that left the program.

I think Evans will bring back the pride of ISU, at least I hope. One thing that will help is to show more interest in your recruits, especially the new comers or freshmen. I would assign a freshman and a jr. or sr. as room mates, and it would be their job to encourage the younger player.
