JT certainly isn't as athletic as Ward, but he does have 4 inches on Ward height wise. Hopefully that will fill the gap with blocking shots.
Charlotte Transfer Dishon Jackson commits to the Cyclones!

Sound the sirens! This program doesn't rebuild. it reloads!
Now if we can also keep all of our assistant coaches for next year, too!

Dunked on Filipowski's head, I am sold
A more athletic version of Solomon Young, but 4 inches taller? Not knocking Solomon either.
He saw how much fun Ward is having caching lobs and signed up imediately.
Love the add. Now here is to hoping we get one more big in the portal, assuming at least one guy transfers out, which pretty much always happens every year. I see this guy as a Tre King replacement more than anything and I'm hoping Watson makes that big jump into next year like Ward did this year. He has many of the same tools as Ward to pull it off. Give JT time to develop more next year and let another transfer big fill the Big Rob role. If all that happens, WOW, we will be dangerous. If we don't add another big, we should still be alright, but could use a bit more depth down low.
Watching the highlights I noticed Charlotte's home court is Holton (Arena). So playing in Hilton seems like an easy adjustment.
Jackson averaged 26 minutes/gm this season so the remaining isn't huge. I could see a scenario where we add a really good 4 such as Jackson's teammate in the portal. This could allow Rock to work his way into full-time backup later in the season while getting a handful of minutes early.
Sat next to Fish's mom on Saturday. Does not sound like he wants to go anywhere.
Was very nice person, suggested that after the ISU visit, everything was compared to ISU and nothing measured up. Suggested UNI are very good people, just like ISU, but ISU was just plain better.
Also suggested that other programs provide "options" that aren't on the up and up. If I understood correctly, she works in compliance in some way. She does not appreciate that stuff at all.
Very nice family members, really enjoyed that talk.
Loved his highlights, I know he was playing against weaker competition but he looks like he has some offensive ability with a dibble. He also can hit some med range shots so there is a chance we can stretch the floor a bit more than past years. The guy reminds me a bit of the Jones that we faced against WSU.
I never realized, Aly Khalifa (BYU big man) played at UNC-Charlotte with Dishon. They will know each other's game when they face off.
TJ: Do you want to join a team with great culture and kicks ass?

Damn, 260! He certainly moves like he's lighter than that. Heck of a pickup here! He looks like a double digit points and 7+ boards guy in the Big 12.
Huge pickup. Exactly what this team needed. ISU should be a pre season top 10, likely top 5 depending on what else happens in the portal, and if Omaha stays and takes that next step, next years team could be the best ever.
I was going to say "well, if he played for Kansas, he could play Thursday" but....
And he seems like he passes pretty well and might have a free throw line / 18 footer jump shot.
Welcome to the team! Great news!
