I like the Tre King comp (with less 3pt shooting) but 4 inches taller and 20lbs heavier. Dishon is going to help out our half court offense with his low post presence. He is also a 70+ FT shooter this year.
Charlotte Transfer Dishon Jackson commits to the Cyclones!

I used to say it wasn’t if it was when for TJ leading us to a final 4. It’s now changed it’s not if it’s when we win it all
I was thinking Shaq until you said free throw shooting. Then realized that this kid is way better!
If this coaching staff offer him I don't need to see any defensive tape. It is a given that he plays good defense.
The portal does have a double-edged sword feel to it. I still think there needs to be some level of commitment, because every year it feels like open season where every player on your team feels like they could abruptly become a free agent. Previously you expected players to transfer if it was obvious that they didn't get along with their teammates or coaches, or if they weren't getting the playing time they thought they should be getting.
Now we have to worry about players transferring if they're too successful but still have work to do to improve their NBA prospects. It doesn't happen to us very frequently because of ISU's position as a P6 school, but when it does (e.g. Tyrese Hunter) we can at least begin to know what it feels like to be a non-P6 school.
Those P6 players have to ask themselves a hard question of if they want to max out their NBA/WNBA aspirations or max out their college payday.
So far in mbb and wbb the high major to high major transfer does not seem to be worth the risk of giving up a position as star player for a winning NCAA tournament high major team. I mean that girl who transferred from Louisville to LSU was literally crying on the bench yesterday playing against Middle Tennessee State.
This is another good point. One could argue that the relaxed transfer rules have actually brought more parity to the sport, because players who are not making an impact on the P6 level could "transfer down" without feeling like they'd be taking a risk by losing a year of eligibility. But time will tell over the next few years as COVID players start graduating and we start to see the return to normalcy in terms of player eligibility.
Played at Washington State before Charlotte.

I am one of them. What was Pinkie Tuscadero thinking when she tried to fix her car "during" a demolition derby?
Hard to be the best team ever when your team the year before won the National Championship right?
Iowa fans a sweet Sixteen pipe dream for us it's just another year. LoL
Thanks for this. I thought it put us at our limit but wasn't sure.
Could one of the metric geeks ( term of endearment) let us know what kind of defensive metrics Jackson has?
Looks like he has more offensive skill than Rob and hason so should help open up the offense too. Not too worried about defense as our system and coaches will get him to where he needs to be
I'm afraid it's the new food chain in the jungle. Blue bloods poach the P5 non-blue bloods, and the P5 non-blue bloods poach the mid-majors.
We just need to keep the blue bloods away from Tamin, Milan, Keshon, and Curtis.
Unpopular opinion: The only thing next year's team really needs now is a 18 mpg garbage guy/rebound specialist to clean up on both ends of the floor.
