Charlotte Transfer Dishon Jackson commits to the Cyclones!
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Was just thinking the way he looks and how his body moves when he plays. Reminded me of Solomon. Except this guy is much taller and seems to have more all around skill.
But if we were in Germany I'd have to make your bunk.
Our 6'11" Magic Johnson!
I think JT will surprise many people next year. I think his length will help him on defense. He should be able to challenge shots and rebound using that length. On offense I would expect him to add a new skill set in that he played a lot around the 3 point line in AAU. He can shoot better than any of our current 5s and is a threat to shoot from the top of the key and not allow opposing bigs to sag off so much. I hope he has been working on his quickness and overall athletic ability this year, that is where I think growth would benefit him most.
He moves so fast and jumps so high and so quickly. Sometimes it seems like his hands can't keep up with his legs. The athleticism is so obvious and so enticing.
I’ve been impressed with how much he has already bulked up from where he started this fall. I haven’t seen him play obviously but I think physical growth is the biggest issue for bigs. I don’t expect him to be great by any means but I think he will be serviceable
I do remember thinking that JT has a really good stroke for a big man. Now that I think about it, he could be an enticing piece NEXT year, easily getting 5-10'/game, if he can hit some 3's, rebound, etc.
As he gains experience and gets older, he could be a force inside AND out.
I feel really good about transfers coming in now considering how high profile ISU's style and work requirements have been. There is no longer any concern that kids coming in don't recognize just how high the commitment and effort level must be every day.
At least that is what I tell myself...

Even if it's mainly as a junior and senior and as a reliable role player...you never know when there might be some matchup issue in a tournament. Thinking Clingan as an example if we can beat Illinois. Playing under TJ I'm confident he can coach him up to at least have a defensive body against somebody like that and then like you and others said stretch the court with the 3 on offense.
Another good one is Santa Clara. They took 2 dudes considered to be power conference busts and in 1 season made them lottery picks. No tournament for them yet but they got the NIT last year and would likely have again if ESPN wasnt trying to **** over all Mid-majors
I generally tell myself that I'm not as good-looking as everybody says I am. I like to stay humble.
Suddenly I am really looking forward to the pre-season top 25 and a friendly little tournament in Hawaii for some reason!
Welcome to the family DJ! I predict you'll love Ames and Cyclone Nation as much as we love you!

Before this news, I was thinking: There have already been a bunch of 4/5 type players announcing the portal. How will TJ & staff sort them for recruitment? Then they grab one, along with a freshman for 2025, while preparing for a tournament run!
Had to be some advance knowledge or connection.
