Have to say though.....I've been following basketball for over thirty years, and I've only seen one Georges Niang.

What about a George Niang?

Absolutely, he is a very special player. It is also a great recruiting tool though

Yeah we used it to try to get Esa Ahmad (West Virginia) and Bonzie Colson (Notre Dame). Both would have thrived here

But you don't tell a player you want that he can't be the next one.

Wow, I didn't even know they offered

 

[Stewo]

Wow, I didn't even know they offered

Looks like they did 2 days ago. He's apparently a Duke legacy.

 

[Cydkar]

They just did. It was game ovah if they ever did...and they did.

I don't blame him for jumping on that offer. I thought if Syracuse offered, they would have had a good shot, Duke beat them to the punch.

I'd rather have him than White

I'm assuming there is no info on the exact date yet?

 

[SolarGarlic]

Can we all just remember that when July rolls around next year, there's no reason to freak out if guys aren't visiting? There was much hand-wringing about the staff not getting kids to Ames. That's clearly not an issue.

I'm not sold on Allen, I think Sims has more athleticism and a better all around game, while, Allen is def the better scorer. I do like that we are showing some interest in the Omaha area, they have 3 kids that will play major college bball next year.

Based on what.

From the video (which isn't a ton) I've seen he doesn't look like a p5 level athlete, he plays slow, not an explosive athlete, he plays against small school competition and he's had off the court issues. We're also talking about a kid who has only played half of a season who HS bball/weight program etc.., so he will improve and has some upside but I think he still has a ways to go. Im not saying I wouldn't take him, I just think there are guys with less risk.

Teddy Allen looks like a bucket getter

Lots of people thought the same thing about Niang. Including on this board. Obviously you never know and I'm not saying he's the next Georges, but Teddy Allen certainly hasn't had a fraction of the exposure that Niang had due to Tilton, playing with Seldon and Noel.
