Emmanuel Malou

Problem with his coach according to WHO-TV report last night is that he is a con man. He takes money to coach and house these poor kids, but doesn't pay the bills. He wrote a bad check to a church in DM for a van, and hasn't paid bills for his or the kids housing. The kids are actually going to get booted from their apartments 'cause no-one's paid rent.

WHO talked to a kid's mom in DM who dipped into her 401k to pay the guy $600 for 10 coaching sessions, and Alexander disappeared after the first one.

If any credentials are needed for his time at this "prep school", there might be a lot of red flags.


Ain't no place for con men in amateur basketball.
 
Academics were the issue with Malou, correct? Why wouldn't he play JUCO for a year or two then transfer to ISU? I'm sure Indian Hills or Marshalltown would like to have him.
 
Scrolled down his twitter feed a little bit and he said to a friend of his that he is coming back to the US sometime this summer.
 
Link?

With Percy gone, if Fred could get this kid into school, he'd be a great addition, whether he has to sit out a year or not.

Let it go man. This ship was probably never there to begin with, but it certainly sailed a few weeks back when ABCD prep blew up
 
He was retweeting a bunch of Iowa State stuff again the other day.

Gave up on that meaning much a long time ago. So did Temple transfer Lee, right before he commited to Ohio State. So did Vaughn.

They really didn't though. Although Lee was mostly retweeting Indiana until his OSU visit. I'm sure they pulled the now or never card.
 
What's the latest on Malou and the other players?
 
Because his family lives there. Wasn't be coming back if he isn't back already?

Is he? Also, does he even have a shot a qualifying? I thought the fallout from his "prep school" saga was that he had no chance of qualifying.

Yeah I doubt we get him, especially with the two visits we have this weekend. I'd think he'd go the Juco route but who knows. It was rumored he'd attend Iowa State not as a basketball player for a year though however that works.
