Were people seriously complaining about offering Niang? Hell, Fraschilla was talking him up during an ISU game while Georges was still a Senior in HS, talking about this great skilled offensive player that ISU fans were going to love next season.

Not people with working brains he was very highly touted

Georges wasn’t that highly touted when the staff got in on him. Of course once he signed and was a senior, nearly everyone was optimistic.

Yeah, I don't remember many criticizing the signing. There were some questions about his athleticism (YCMA game) translating to B12 when he signed. More that it would take him time for him to start rather than not being able to play. Though with all message board I am sure Georges has some detractors.

Once I saw Niang play on the summer circuit prior to him signing, his ablity to play point forward and being alpha/top offensive option on his team with the #1 rated player of Noel I had not concerns with Georges translating to the college game at ISU. Boy did it translate.

I do see some flashes of Georges game in Luke though I don't expect AA honors by his senior year just very good starter.

There’s a big difference between the initial reactions and by signing day. But it goes both ways, two months after signing day, if not earlier, nearly every recruit is a hit on message boards around the country.

I can see why not all programs would prioritize all three, but Prohm cut his teeth value shopping at Murray. He generally has an eye for what is important.

Anyone can be nominated so it really doesn't mean anything. There was a kid from Ames that averaged like 2 ppg that got nominated a few years back

Totally agree, nice to be nominated and recognized but that is all at this point.

I was surprised more that Arkansas only had one nominee than seeing Leech and Jackson on the list.
