New foreign commit - Giorgos Tsalmpouris

[SpokaneCY]

I think of it this way. Fred is a basketball master chef, and a 7-footer is an ingredient he has not tried yet.

And much like meat, it is best served with a little age. My video scouting skills usually tell me a 7'1" european skill player will need some time to adapt to the game. Especially when that kid JUST turned 17.

Will be fun to watch him progress...

beware of greeks and the gifts they bear.

Or "bare" if you fall in with the wrong crowd.

 

[F5cy]

maybe a lost in translation - visiting Iowa State vs. attending Iowa State?

 

[CyBroncos]

So is this guy basically our Adam Woodbury or is he not a total project?

18 next month. Where are you getting "just turned 17"?

 

[Rabbuk]

do we have him...or...

Fred is so afraid of the development that Woodbury is expected to make on his game this summer that he's decided to go out and pick up a 17 year old to counter him.

Stay tuned.

(Actually this is an elaborate scam by me to get my points up for thread views)smile:

He's a 2014 guy.

So he would be on this years team? Oh Yeah!

 

[ISUAgronomist]

What the hell is going on? Is this a whole ***** thing again?

FIFY. Don't use that kind of language around these parts :wink:

 

[Aclone]

All I can say is, he's clearly no Brad Dudek.

Let the ************ begin.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

What are you talking about? No one has questioned the fact that he was given a scholarship.

No but you and many others are saying he won't do anything. We finally get a 7 footer which is what we have been waiting for so I can't believe all the doubters I'm seeing here.

 

[Jacktronic]

I haven't cared this much about news out of Greece since they almost destroyed the Euro.

Maybe if NBA scouts were looking at him, it would be different. Oh wait, they already are, never mind.

I just read the whole thread. I haven't seen anyone say he won't do anything.

I've seen some imply he won't be an immediate impact player, however--which is hardly a stretch to say.

You beat me to it.

Sorry for the duplicated tweet copy/paste, y'all.

What?
That is what we have been waiting for? Doubters?
