Cheick Diallo

[ISU_phoria]

ls he thought to likely be a one and done like Vaughn?

Would be a great get. Just the fact we're on his list is another step in the right direction for the program.

 

[NorthCyd]

It can't hurt to get this one started early, especially once Vaughn commits and Hoiberg publicly credits the thread on CF as his main recruiter.

So who is going to set up the Christmas twitter bomb for Cheick?

I would like ISU to get both players, but honestly, I want Diallo more, ISU is struggling to get bigs and this guy is a beast. Seen this guy play on TV before and he's an athletic freak

I would rather have vaughn but since theyre a different class id like both. Youre correct though and he is very similar to Embiid of Kansas if i had to compare him to anyone.

Love the description on Rivals: "Athletic big man has a non-stop motor and turns each game into a brawl around the rim. Quick off the floor, attacks rebounds with both hands above the rim and sprints the floor with purpose.

He won't be coming to ISU… but his brother(not really brother but same guardian, a grade younger and better than Diallo) loves ISU and we have a good shot with him

What are you basing both of these opinions on? Pretty lousy attitude, too.

Welcome Cheick!

Much rather have Vaughn, but hey, why not get them both?

 

[CoKane]

Is it just me or is this Cheick is type of player that seems like he will end up in Kansas?

Athletic Big man with Pro Potential? yep, sounds like a classic KU or UK signing.
That said I am encouraged CD already has visited, at least Fred and the program is on his radar. Plus if this team shows like a lot of us predict this year and next, ISU could be a serious condender for his services.

I love how Freddy is going after top 10 talent AND we can get them to make visits to Ames. Unheard of 5 years ago. Cyclone nation we need to increase our expectations as we will be competing with the top programs each year moving forward.

Can you imagine him and Vaughn on the floor together?! Fred will have a National Championship under his belt with in the next 10 years.

I'd cut that time frame in half.

We need a good center! A shot blocker/rebounder.

 

[CarlHungus]

After watching last nights game, it just reminded me of how awesome it would be to get this guy. I'm not sure how seriously he is considering us, but I really hope he is

Hey guys we should all change our avatars to pics of CD!

 

[mj4cy]

Travis Hines just put up an artcle on 2015 targets. We're going after top quality. I'm excited.

 

[Final42b]

Would be a great get, but its likely a long shot.
