Marial Shayok Commits to ISU

[ajk4st8]

Prohm wants his bigs to shoot from outside if left open. It is pretty obvious Solo has the green light this year to do so and has shot a few time each game this far. He is on record that was an emphasis to add to his game this summer the shot looks pretty good coming out of his hand. I think that is an aspect can be added to his game in the next year. I know the results haven't been there yet but I don't see the coaches telling him to only shoot from 10 ft in.

Beverly and Talley have the green light too. Beverly is 4/23 this year. And Talley is 4/30 lifetime.

I'm not exactly sure having a 'green light' means much. I can't believe 'it looks good coming out of his hand' is actually something to get excited about.

The difference of Solo making a couple more threes a year means relatively nothing compared to what rebounding and playing better D could be.

I saw Jacobson in practice this year and he looked pretty good FWIW. Lewis did too so take it with a grain of salt

I'm guessing you didn't watch Jacobson much, if at all, while he was at Nebraska. It's easy to see potential in someone when you watch them and like them. If Solomon didn't play basketball for Iowa State you wouldn't know a thing about him or say he has a lot of potential.

So because I have spent more time watching Young's game, my opinion of his potential is discounted? That's some weird logic.

I watched Jacobson a few times, either because he was playing against Iowa or because he's from Waukee. He is very active and is a fluid athlete for his size. I didn't see him shoot often, and he certainly wasn't getting post touches.

Are you from Waukee? I'm sorry that I see more potential in Young. It's not intended to be a slight toward Jacobson.

When you say X player has more potential than Y player, yes.

It's Nader!

Your spelling is a low blow! Literally.

na·dir
ˈnādər,ˈnādir/
noun

1. the lowest point in the fortunes of a person or organization.

Haha. Fair point. I have a Pakistani friend actually named Nadir, so I sometimes accidentally type that instead thanks to muscle memory.

Man, Naz is a great ambassador for ISU and the Clones. He takes that loyal son, forever true thing very seriously. And let's hope he's as good of a talent evaluator in his view of Shayok.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Super Marial?

Stop bumping this thread and giving me heart attacks. Every time I see this pop up I assume he's either blown his knee or leaving the program.

Me, too. We can start threads to discuss the future of the post position that don't create heart attacks.
Titles like "My view of the future of Cyclone post players" work nicely. People get the point and maintain their cardiac health.

I'd rather post a cell # and wait for the texts and calls to come rolling in. Lots of variety could happen then!

We were lucky to get these guys like Georges and Naz here at the same time. Talking about their cool persona, interviews and clever use of social media. Given these little insights into their personalities they just seem like guys you would like in real life.

I'll just start a thread that says "Marial Shayok" That should set everyone's mind at ease.

Fixed that for you

Not only that but both Naz and Niang have been great ambassadors for ISU school and athletics since they left. The are present both in media and back in Ames (when available) and I assume will continue to be.
It wouldn't surprise me that in future years after there done playing basketball for one or both to be back in Ames working for the University as a coach or in the Athletic Department.

Not just a great ambassador through his words, either. He puts his money where his mouth is. Naz has donated money to some pretty neat causes around the city of Ames. I don't know if I'm at liberty to share exactly which ones, but rest assured, Naz has made some kids pretty happy in this town.

There is absolute nothing that hits that emotional spot for me as a fan as much as seeing kids that play for us that clearly love Iowa State as much as we do.

And time.

Naz is Iowa State. His name resonates greater than all but the Orr/Hoiberg/Thompson class and there isn’t bigger surrogate for the fan base.
