If this kid comes in for an "official" visit before his senior year, that's some serious business for Fred and the coaching staff. Which in all reality means we are that much closer to being a big time program. One or two more years of this kind of recruiting will put us over the edge for a "name" program. The blue bloods will be worried.

Agree, and the fact we're his first visit is a great sign that we're in serious contention for not only him, but Diallo as well. If, and this is a (Naz) Long shot, he for some reason decides he wants to come here, it pretty much ensures Diallo's commitment as well.

Zags blog article on Yakwe's visit on big Monday.

http://zagsblog.com/articles/kassoum-yakwe-to-visit-iowa-state-others/
"St. John’s, Syracuse, Iowa State, Villanova and Kansas are working hardest for Yakwe, one source said.
Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com saw Yakwe at the recent Our Savior-Linden game and came away impressed by Yakwe’s athleticism.
“He’s a freak athlete,” Givony said. “He guards, he rebounds, he blocks shots. He has an amazing body with a long wingspan. There are not many guys in college with those physical attributes. If he develops a reliable corner 3, he is going to be an NBA player.”
Iowa State is also among those recruiting Yakwe’s teammate, 6-9 2015 forward Cheick Diallo, who was named to the McDonald’s All-American Game."

Hopefully he enjoys the game tonight. IMO if we land Diallo he might follow with the whole guardian thing.

Yakwe is super raw from the games I've seen of him. He's an athletic freak but I don't see him coming in and lighting the world on fire.
