That’s the first thing I looked for when they released the inductees today

Dethloff and Anson are both already in. As gymnast and coach Kindler belongs in but imo no way will she except it while JP is AD.

It kinda sucks that none of us are gonna talk about any of these people besides Niang. And maybe Hunt since he was a football player (I never heard of him until now though). I have never watched any of those other sports, and I imagine not many of us have. Anyways, congrats to ALL of these new inductees.

Edward Kemboi is an all-time Cyclone great in a sport where ISU has often been dominant.

He won two NCAA championships (indoor + outdoor 800m titles the same year), was a 6 time All-American, and a 7 time Big 12 champion.

I have definitely seen the name a lot on cyclones.com. He was at ISU not all that long ago, right?

I would have guessed 5-6 years. It has been 11.

But this is no doubt the Niang class. If there is any athlete who can challenge him as the all-time greatest Cyclone personality they were before my time (and I’ve been a Cyclone fan for well over 40 years).

It is a travesty that Eric Heft isn't in the HOF.

"Everybody knows it's a Cyclone state."

"Nice, Georges."

TJ is young, so maybe Georges doesn’t take over for him.

It’ll probably be timing that dictates whether he replaces Fennelly or Pollard.

What's the problem? One of these inductees is a men's swimmer.

That was my first reaction as well! I thought I knew Cyclone Athletics pretty well until I saw that list. Niang is the only one I've ever heard of.

Jamie didn’t cut swimming. It’ll only be awkward if Jamie is still AD

Why does it suck? We aren't on this site to talk about track or swimming. I've never heard of any of them except Georges. Congrats to them though.
