I up-sized my Big Mac value meal to get extra FRENCH fries in his honor.

How do you say Cyclones in French?

Les Cyclones

 

[FLYINGCYCLONE]

TJ better stock up on French wine. Gonna need it.

He moves like he's 6-1, not 6-10. Really excited for him, but I'll temper expectations until he steps on campus.

 

[Drew0311]

Sounds like an awesome commitment!

We'll need to put him on my personal diet to fatten him up some. I guarantee it works.

Also, his name is pretty long. Maybe we can just use his initials, and call him Doctor K (DRK).

His name is Ronaldo. He will be a one name guy. That is how it works with dudes named Ronaldo

And to think my parents thought I'd never use the 4 years of French I took in high school...

 

[Cyhig]

New Euro pipeline?



Gets the culture TJ wants.

He has a message for Iowa State fans.

“Cyclone fans are used to a winning culture the last 5 years and I want to only add to that. I’m not from the U.S, I’m from France so I’m still learning the system of the NCAA but one thing I learned fast is that Iowa State an incredible fan base, that was obvious on the visit. Their energy and enthusiasm was amazing to see.”

He seems to have a large wing span. Hit the weight room and he has the measurables to be a force in the paint defensively.

Da Doo Ron Ron (or, Ron Ron Doo Run Run).

How do you say Cyclones in French?

How do you say “A Seal pushed me yesterday” in French?

 

[jdoggivjc]

but seriously... LFG!!!

 

[bosco]

I was at Aunt Maude's when he had his tour dinner. I think, just maybe, their fried chips and dipping sauce sealed the commitment.

Maybe it was their escargot that sealed the deal.

He moves like he's 6-1, not 6-10. Really excited for him, but I'll temper expectations until he steps on campus.

I've got him down for 50 and 25 until he gets acclimated and starts to dominate.

 

[iseedit]

Finally a quick offensive big guy! He'll have a good friend in Killyan.

 

[Chitowncy]

Watched a few highlights, and this guy is the perfect TJ big. Quick off the floor and rangy on the perimeter. Looks like he could guard 1-5 with his length.

Zoot alors! Ce mec est super bien! Felicitations, TJ et le staff!

And, maybe he felt like he's coming home? You know, the Louisiana Purchase from France. The Iowa state flag is based on the French flag, I think. heh

(Sized 'em both 3 inches wide but my photo editing skills ain't good.)

Bleu, blanc et rouge! With him and Toure, do we add La Marsaillaise to our intro?

By the way, I think that's the flag for Togo in that twitter post. By the time he's done with his time in Iowa, he'll be a true global citizen!

Either way, great pick-up and bienvenue chez les Cyclones!

 

[CloneFan65]

I know he's 6' 10", but he's athletic, can run the floor, and has good handles. I can see him playing at the 4 and maybe even the 3 depending on match ups.

This Togo flag? (Or, am I missing a humor angle?)

None of this matters until we know more about his elbows...

 

[CycloneVet]

6’10 I do want.

What an intriguing prospect. If nothing else he can rim run and throw it down like Jameel McKay did. Hopefully he can board, play D and block shots too. Anything beyond that is bechamel
