Intradasting

Seems he was sorta highly recruited. Had offers from Baylor, Marquette, and New Mexico

 

[EYEoftheSTORM]

Looks like he could address a position we may need help with.

WHA WHA WHA WHAAAAAT? Nallen, where were you on this one?

I would be happy to land this guy.

 

[Doc]

Looks tall and versatile. He was terribly inefficient, but that's going to happen when you take 40% of your teams' shots when you're on the court. That's unheard of.

 

[Doc]

He would be our 6th scholarship big on the roster next season not counting Hogue. That's a lot.

 

[Cy$]

it's hard to think that there in nothing doing on as far as people leaving with the constant transfers interested in us. (Cosby, Davis, Edwards, now Nader).

For the record, i'm 50/50 on this. His team averaged 54 points a game and he was the only player that acted like a d1 player.

 

[Illiniclone]

Kind of ironic that rivals compared his playing type to Percy Gibson.

 

[NebrClone]

His profile says G/F. If he could play the 3 or 4 at that size would be nice.

I'm all for discussing transfers that we have known interest in.

I was only poking fun as you seem pretty in the know on this stuff.

 

[nallen34]

So he would red shirt during the 2013-14 season and be a RS Jr for the 2014-15 season. Any word if he would be eligible immediately?

I wonder if our connection to him is through Jake Anderson since he used to play at Northern Illinois...

Ha yeah I figured.

dont think there would be any reason he could play right away...

 

[iacyguy]

Isn't this the team that scored likw 4 points in a half?

My guess would be Ejims spot? Or Niangs spot when he moves to Ejims spot.

Probably just Ejim's replacement at the PF/SF. I hope he can just play SF, and Niang could play the PF; and then we can land a stud 6'9 player for the class of 2014 to play the C/or hopefully Percy is that stud 6'9 player by his senior year. That would be best case scenario IMO. I don't think Niang playing C in the future is going to be good for us at least from a defensive standpoint. Niang is more of a 4/3 IMO.

I like it but I doubt Percy is that guy but who knows.
