How about let's stop talking about Woodbury

Can I refer to him as dingleberry? Because one thing is for sure, dingleberry can't shoot the 3. But I do agree with your post though.....and based on my very limited info on this guy he seems like he'll end up much better than doofusberry.

Interesting. I really never expected us to sign a 7 footer with our style of play. I'll be curious to see how this pans out.

He's a stretch 5 though. Will make us better def. because of his shot blocking ability.

All I hear ever year is we need height, we won't have success with a front court that is avg. 6'8 - 6'9.

I think that's just two coach.

 

[ISUFan22]

no you're the ugly one

CyArob - I think cbro31 is hitting on you.

I'm willing to bet we are the only team ever to have a Georges and a Giorgos on a roster at the same time.

Is it pronounced 'George'?

This is going to be so confusing. This feels Hawdomish, because I usually need results before I get excited, but I'm feeling pretty excited about this next basketball season.

It's not impossible that he wouldn't redshirt. I don't see it happening. Wonder how this fits into team chem. Hard to bond with a guy that may not speak English very well.

Fred played with Julius. I can't see a problem here.

I will only be please if we can put his last name in Greek on his jersey. Full name is: γιωργος τσαλμπουρης

Nice work with the ending sigma. Very good touch.

A 7'1 lefty with shooting range? Yeah, I'll take it and worry about his strength/frame later. Even if he doesn't contribute right away, you have to love the idea of what a player with his size and skill set could potentially do in Fred's offense.

Start playing that Syracuse zone. IMO

And slow down the pace of the game so we can average 60 points a game? No thanks.

Iowa State has received a commitment from 7-foot-1 Greek national Giorgos Tsalmpouris, per a source.

Have you stopped to consider what this means about Freds longrange plans? I mean he wouldn't be picking up a project like this if he didn't plan to stick around a while. He is investing in the future!

As someone who believes that Fred isn't leaving, this doesn't prove anything either way. Coaches sign freshmen and move along. There's not a connection there.

So what fraternity will he join? :smile:

FINALLY A 7 FOOTER!

As long as he can actually play Fred's style of ball and not just be a Cardinal & Gold dingleberry.

Fred recruited this kid. He wants him I want him. Always best to stick with professionals.
