BREAKING: Emmanuel Malou commits to Iowa State

[Dryburn]

We don't really need a true 5. I think someone like Simeon Carter can play it at 6'8" or even Young at 6'7" and 230 lbs. Nobody really has a true center anymore anyway.

Come on now! Iowa has Woodbury! Ha!

 

[IAStubborn]

Looks like we are assembling an accounting firm.:spinny:

Or an Iowa Congressional delegation.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Come on now! Iowa has Woodbury! Ha!

But he does things the stat book doesn't see.

 

[Frak]

I think you're joining the crowd on that. Is he soft? Can he rebound? Can he defend? Problem is you can ask the same questions of recruits far less talented.

Yeah, I guess you could say the intangibles are a question mark, but the talent is not. What this kid can do at 6'9 is impressive. Reminds me a little of Lamar Odom. Or a taller Clyburn. It will be up to Prohm to get him to reach his potential.

Now I think that they need the JUCO Cook, a FR guard and then save the last scholarship for a transfer.

 

[LindenCy]

But he does things the referees don't see.

Fixed.

 

[CoKane]

But he does things so the opponent can't see.

FIFY

I hope C-dub is having fun on his vacation.

Kansas has diallo

Do they..? Is he even eligible or will he ever be? In a way I am glad ISU didn't get into that mess.

Nobody?

I'd take that mess. Better that Noskowiak. At least he stays out of trouble and has a chance to play this year.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Nobody?

NOBODY!

Come on, nobody questions Clonedude.

 

[klamath632]

Just not sold on Malou. Saw him play for ABCD Prep two years ago. Seemed to lack aggressiveness and toughness.

Raised by women obviously.

 

[jbindm]

Nobody?

Sounds like a movie - Jahlil Okafor: Last of the True Centers.

Traditional back to the basket bigs who aren't stiffs are hard to find, but that's always been true.

 

[CysRage]

I love the turn this thread took.

What was said? It looks like the mods may have cleaned it up.

Dirty cheerleader poop fart.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Nobody?

He's basically describing Hoiball. Are you going to question Hoiball?

 

[Cyclonepride]

Dirty cheerleader poop fart.

You paint a picture with your words.

Exactly, before Jameel who was our 5? Georges? Hogue? Ejim? We don't know exactly what CSP will do but in Fred's system Malou could have been the 5, as could either of the guys you mentioned. I am in the camp that thinks Monte will be here next year (if he's not it means ISU had an amazing year so I'll be happy either way), when you look at the 16-17 roster w/ Monte, its already pretty solid. We would be 6 deep in the backcourt and have 3 athletic bigs. We are really just missing one big or a hybrid 3/4 type of guy.

That's Romello or Arlando, let's get this wrapped up.

How about both
