Think it is open signing any time after Nov. 13.
Andrew Rohde for Virginia may be a name to keep an eye on if he enters the transfer portal.

Nice length
Given we have three 6’3” freshmen combo/pg, it would make sense to target a bigger 2/3
I just assume that’s who he is talking about since Virginia has a guy with an almost identical name on the team
I would like to see Abdi Bashir Jr, 6-7 guard that plays for Monmouth and is from Omaha, NE transfer to ISU.
His twin, a top juco recruit as a 6’7” pg, recently committed to Auburn.
Both are good 3P shooters
Thats awesome. Hope we start to see posts where he can score and don't turn the ball over soon. That is not a slam btw. Really glad we got this guy
His defense reminds me a lot of Keshon on defense but he is more athletic than Keshon on offense. Better jump shot and will go to the hoop with some power.
We’ll see.
Matt Thomas was an elite shooter in high school and as a professional
He struggled in the Big 12 as a freshman. So did Milan
Lipsey and Hunter got the job done as starting pgs as freshman. I’m not writing off Toure or the other two, but I suspect as freshmen they won’t be better than Gilbert
You mean every recruit won't be at least second team all-Big 12??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Won't have to be starting PG as a freshman since we'll have a senior Lipsey as starting PG
Of course.
The point is we’ve had two freshmen be competent in an even more challenging role, so I’m not writing off hope that a freshman guard can help, but claiming things about their capabilities with respect to Gilbert is a “we’ll see” situation for me
When was the last time you seen Keshon dunk a fast break? Or get the ball under the hoop and take 1 or 2 steps and dunk it? Keshon's 3 pointer, he jumps about 2 inches off the floor and he really doesn't have much of a 10-15ft jump shot. Killyan has that explosiveness and his jump shot is much different.
I would argue that Keshon is one of the top gaurd defenders in the country. The kid is a menace and as quick as anyone. If Killyan is even remotely close to as good as Keshon on defense, he's gonna be pretty good as a freshman. And I see a lot of similarities in their defense. Keshon has really set a high standard in that regard.
When was the last time we saw Toure against older P5 players?
We’ll see. He could have a “better jump shot and will go to the hoop with some power” compared to Gilbert.
But a lot of risk he’s not that as a freshman
I assume the crapshoot that is high school recruits is why we’re adding three 6’3” guards. And yes, I know they’re all a bit different.
