What people forget about Naz is that he wasn't a 4 year player, he was a 5 & 1/2 year player! If I remember correctly he came in at semester his first year and redshirted, then had the medical redshirt that gave him the 6th school year. But, I don't mean to belittle your point. For example Fizer and Tinsley are legends for skill, but they weren't the "voice/face" emotionally for the fanbase that guys like Fred, Melvin, Georges and Naz were by "growing up " with the fanbase over a complete college career.
Naz didn’t come in at semester. He was a 5 year player. He played basically 4 1/4 years after injuries his senior year. Then they gave him a medical year

No word on the visits this weekend. I assume that means we are waiting to see what KyKy Tandy does later this week on his official visit? What day is he supposed to arrive?

Thanks for the correction. I was thinking I remembered when he was being recruited (and we were in need of a point guard) that it was discussed that he might come in at semester but ultimately didn't. Does anyone remember that, or do I need to ask my doc about early signs of memory loss?

Kory Lucious and Bubu Palo were already in Ames so immediate need of a PG was not exactly at that time.

I don’t think the staff has a good read on Tandy and obviously like Jackson enough to take now and deal with ramifications it might have with Tandy after. Hope we can land both but gut feeling is this is the class and we hold till spring.

I was thinking that was the year Lucious was redshirting, and didn’t Bubu break his wrist and missed a bunch of games? I was thinking we thought in the fall we needed a PG badly before going with a point forward.

No, you’re 100% correct! There was most definitely talk of bringing Naz in at the semester that year that Lucious was redshirting. I think Naz could’ve graduated early from Findlay if we had wanted him to.

So KyKy is visiting today from the last I heard. Not sure how Kyky can take days off in the middle of the school year. However, I would guess if Coach is bringing him here still we still have interest in having him. Otherwise we would have cancelled the OV.
