Nice source bro, I think I'll take my sports news from sites not named sharknado

He's going to UCONN. Book it.

Why would UConn want him? They already have a skinny 7 footer in Brimah. Are they planning on using twin towers?

Probably for the same reason that NBA scouts are looking at him, and that Fred wanted him. That being said, I'm sure UCONN, Hoiberg, and the NBA scouts are wrong, and I will defer to the Cyclone Fanatic expert recruiting analysts that say he's Ellerman Jr.

Hey bro I'm not saying this is legit or anything. Just was searching for him on twitter and came across this so thought I'd post it. No need to be a dbag about it.

So seriously he coming or not? I want CW on the phone at 1 AM trying to get an interview with him.

 

[MaccloNe]

Talked to a guy from Greece and he said this kid is legit. Also, said his English is good and won't be an issue.

Dang. Can I blame this brain fart on the hawks? Life was different before I got old.

Blame it on Jeff Horner, I hear he's a *********. Or the greatest guy in the history of the world, depends who you talk to.

I thought people said he's Dingleberry 2.0.

NOTHING online re: this, not even on UConn sites, so not worried. Info could be prior to the commitment as the article is a few days old.

Chris Williams, Travis Hines, Randy Peterson and Fran Fraschilla have all reported that he committed to ISU. If those 4 all say something is the case, then it happened.

However, until he arrives on campus he will continue to be recruited by other programs and anything can (and does) happen.

We have a REALLY good track record of bringing in 7' Canadian/Euro type of players once committed to ISU. ( Theo Davis, Ivan chiriaev).

No way is this kid not a cyclone.

At least their is video of this kid playing... no one had seen Chiriaev play before and when they did.... whoa boy.

Thankfully foreign scouting is a tad better than it was in 2004.

I dont think Fran would say that unless he is. That doesnt mean that he wont end up at UConn if someone in his camp wants some $$$$$.

Oh you!

 

[Cydkar]

Commitments from US players doesn't often mean squat. I'm not sure why this would be any different.

To be fair, international scouting peaked in 1994 with Jimmy Dolan.

Except Theo Davis wasn't 7' tall, but don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

The real question that needs answered is does the NBA need Giorgos Tsalmpouris?
