This Kid is a little different got into the States late and that really hurt is recruiting ranking. He would be a top 50-75 kid if not. He is one of the top European Prospects in the 2019 Class and has offers from some very good programs. If he wants to come to ISU and we have an opening you have to take him 100% of the time.

I would love to get him but how do we know this?

Yeah, this sounds like a Dom Uhl type of assessment...

I would say it's more of a "Look at the teams that have offered him". When that many teams offer one kid he is normally a top 75 kid. Now if the Dukes and them jump in. You could say top 50. He would most likely at least be a top 100 kid with all the offers he has got.

His offers and interest show you that the kid would be a top 100ish recruit. TCU, WVU, Tech ISU, Georgetown, Arkansas, Ole Miss,

George Conditt was ranked 326th and had offers from Virginia Tech, Maryland, Houston, Arizona State, Washington, Colorado and a bunch of others. Hell Zion Griffon had a Kansas offer and wasn't even top 100

This late in the recruiting year, who really cares about offers or rankings? If he had a skill set that can help the team, go for it. Even more, I think Prohm and the staff have shown they can pin point talent, and that should be trusted more than ever on a recruit like this that's a little out of the ordinary.

The other side to this is, it doesn't really matter if he works out or not Unless we lose THT and LW, there won't be a ton of PT available for a guard anyway. The only way we are depending on him for next year is if we have a mass exodus of players. Otherwise, if he doesn't work out, he'll just transfer in a year or two.

Prohm likes to play a 7 or 8 man rotation so a couple schollies are going to be irrelevant every year. There isn't much risk in taking a kid with this kind of athleticism/upside. Besides, if we do get every back, we aren't going to be able to attract the level of grad transfer we'd want, a great transfer isn't going to want to come off the bench.

Would it be transfer or could we “waiver” him right in?

Do this no matter when he’s eligible.
