Darien Williams is a Cyclone

[Rhoadhoused]

Anyone know why he went Juco in the first place?

Probably didn't qualify. Which is why he has to sit out his surgery year in JUCO and not at ISU immediately.

Non qualifiers out of high school have to wait two years and get an AA before they can transfer to a D1 school.

Had he qualified and then blown up his first year, he could transfer out after one year.

Morris-6'2"
Naz - 6'3"
Thomas - 6'4"
Niang - 6'7"
McKay - 6'8"
Nader - 6'7"
Williams - 6'9"

I know I'm missing more, but that off the top of my head... We have ALOT to be excited about the next few years. We will have Length and Athleticism, along with CFH ability to utilize their talents. Enjoy the ride Cyclones!!

 

[mattyice]

Thats definitely accurate. Ive paid attention to this kid seeing as how he is in our backyard. He will fit into Fred's system perfectly!! Kudos to him for realizing that.

If we were on Around the Horn I would give you points for "Inside information"

 

[bigdaddykane]

can anyone find some highlights on him?

 

[LawyerClone]

Matt A. was the lead recruiter on him for those keeping track at home.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

This guy looks like a complete freak athletically. 6'9 and shoots 41% from 3, 51% from the field, yes please! Basically, going to be a replacement for Hogue. And just to rosterbate a bit....

Morris
Long/Thomas/SDW
Nader
Williams/McKay
Niang

Assume we pick up nobody (which we will I bet) and that is still a terrifying starting 5. So many mis matches all over the place.

The frontcourt will be incredibly versatile, longer than we have been, and a perfect fit for Hoiberg basketball. Georges wheeling and dealing, McKay finishing, Williams shooting, and Nader slashing...and so on.

If Georges transforms his body a little to a leaner 245-250, he will be unstoppable surrounded by these guys plus Naz and Thomas filling it up on the perimeter, and Morris and Custer driving and dishing.

I'm surprised nobody is whining about him not being a high school recruit.

 

[MaccloNe]

Might wanna rewrite that scenerio without Nadar at least for a while.

 

[Guetterdone1]

So this is what Matt hinted at having under his sleeve.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

Might wanna rewrite that ****** without Nadar.

Why

 

[stuclone]

Might wanna rewrite that ****** without Nadar.

As long as he doesn't mess up again, he will be on the team. He will probably only be suspended the first couple games next year

 

[CloneIce]

Might wanna rewrite that ****** without Nadar.

For an OWI? First year following Iowa State sports? Or just ********?

@TravisHines21: How embracing versatility helped ISU convince Darien Williams to want to "bring a national championship to Ames" http://t.co/UKt7zI7ATs

 

[Cyclonepride]

After reading about this kid, it looked like there would be intense high major competition for him. This is huge!

“Iowa State is a national program,â€￾ Williams said. “I want to bring a national championship to Ames.â€￾ - See more at: http://m.amestrib.com/sports/men-s-...big-man-commits-isu-2015#sthash.0PI8XFx8.dpuf

Can't take much more. My chest hurts. Ok I lied let's get some more

 

[madcityCY]

i tweeted this, but for those who don't follow - I'll post here too.

I recalled from about 3 weeks ago - Dinos Trigonis tweeting about Williams recruitment and Eric Bossi replied... see bottom of capture.
