I wonder what our chances are without Abdelmassih.

I would guess if Diallo doesn't come here (which I don't think he will) they aren't great. I do know they expect him to go to prep school and not reclassify to 2015 so who knows

Is there a deadline for reclassifying, I mean, short off the start of the season.

I don't think so. Dillon Brooks reclassified in August last year and went to Oregon.

nickname should be Yakkem (watch towards end)

Quick thread derailment: I still think Brooks would be a Cyclone if we would have had a scholarship available.

I would think it wouldn't change too much, as Yakwe wouldn't play with Diallo regardless. Not too mention that Yakwe seems high on ISU on his own. Yakwe is able to come up with his own opinions so I don't believe he will mindlessly follow where Diallo's going.....unless Diallo comes to Ames.

Not to mention one of his former coaches is on the staff.

I hope Otz gets in on him or his former AAU guy.

I was thinking about this as well - thought with another year yet to go, that the staff would be even less likely to stick with it (sans Matt) than Diallo. but...

Fred recently followed some recruits on twitter including Yakwe and Tyler Cook. Cook makes some sense to keep after as TJ has some relationships in the Kansas City area. As for Yakwe - IF he chooses to go to prep school (makes more sense to me than reclassifying) and ends up at Brewster... well then it seems to be a perfect transition for TJ. Still probably a long shot, but it would make some sense.

Crossing my fingers for Coffey and Bridges though.
