Kassoum Yakwe

You have got to be ******* kidding me...

What he said.

 

[Rhoadhoused]

Honestly just skimmed it. But if Mannix is an assistant coach he could still come here, is the way I see it.

Yeah. They aren't promoting a GA to assistant coach at Iowa State.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Nope. Even if fired he can't come here.

You sure?

ISU hired Tim Mannix as a graduate assistant in video editing and player development this past summer. Mannix had previously worked with Yakwe as a coach in the Team Scan AAU program in New York. Under NCAA legislation, programs that hire former AAU coaches to positions below that of an assistant coach position are unable to recruit players that staff member has worked with for two years - See more at: http://amestrib.com/hines-hoops/yakwe-talks-future-while-isu-visit#sthash.QHh0DGOc.dpuf

If he got promoted to assistant coach, this wouldn't apply, would it?

Didn't Kentucky hire an old coach of Diallo? I hate the NCAA

They hired the guy who was recruiting him at Pitt, I believe.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Do we really need a video editor?

This. Not even sure what that job entails, but with a video editor I at least expect more hit tapes. (Probably completely unrelated)

 

[CyForPresident]

LOL

Only at Iowa State could hiring a recruits AAU coach back fire. SMH.

 

[peteypie]

NCAA is stupid. It's ok to hire the kids dad as assistant coach, but if we hire an old coach as video editor and director of player development, it's against the rules. SMH

 

[Final42b]

They aren't going to fire him, he's here to help get Diallo

Nope. Doesn’t matter. RT @belknapcody: @TravisHines21 Could they move the Grad assistant up or fire him?

 

[Final42b]

So umm don't reclassify Kassoum

 

[madcityCY]

Hahaha. Welp, it's KU for both Diallo and Yakwe.

 

[madcityCY]

On a less cynical and more factual note, Jason Smith, Brewster Prep Head coach is now following Yakwe.

Not even game time yet and we already need our nut cups

Brewster has been good to us. Hopefully that's where he ends up

 

[CyArob]

Of course that rule exists. We are Iowa State.

 

[isu81]

This concerns me a bit. How would he get any minutes playing behind McKay, Georges, Diallo, and Nader? He's good an I wont deny that but I don't think he's going to want to reclassify just to sit on the bench. Only way I see this playing out as a positive for us is if there is more than basketball behind him reclassifying. It just bothers me that St. John's is also going after both and loses 7 senior for next season too. Even after I thought of all that seeing he's reclassifying has me excited that we could pull in 2 big recruits at once.

you think he's worried about playing behind Nader?

 

[CoKane]

you think he's worried about playing behind Nader?

Since Nader will start next season if we don't get Diallo, yes, I do think that.

 

[madcityCY]

Brewster has been good to us. Hopefully that's where he ends up

Brewster has also been very good to KU.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Since Nader will start next season if we don't get Diallo, yes, I do think that.

Nader will not start even if we were to bank the two scholarships imo.


Oh, and **** the NCAA.

 

[Knownothing]

That guy can be promoted right?
