We made an off to 6'8" Alexis Yetna. I wonder what his status is regarding ISU. Gonna sign?

Looks very athletic. Nice 3 shot for a big man. I kinda get the feeling he might be an underrated 3 coming from France. Another Prohm lefty.

This has also been his pinned tweet since 12/21:
He's certainly been the forgotten man. It's been since Long's sophomore year that we had a significant positive surprise. Maybe McNeil or J. Long will be major contributorsI'm not convinced that he can't help us next year.
Long reminds me exactly of Sherron Dorsey Walker. Decently high rated out of high school, but might have trouble ever finding minutes.He's certainly been the forgotten man.

Perhaps, but many also thought the same (and with good reason) about Naz.Long reminds me exactly of Sherron Dorsey Walker. Decently high rated out of high school, but might have trouble ever finding minutes.
Long and McNeill will be battling for a spot. Next year we'll need a pure shooter more than anything else, We'll have the 1 and 3 covered.Long reminds me exactly of Sherron Dorsey Walker. Decently high rated out of high school, but might have trouble ever finding minutes.
Doesn't have to sign til he's ready to enroll in classes fall semester I don't think.When would Yetna have to sign by? I guess I am not aware of when the final date is for the 2017 class.

Never underestimate the playing time you can get by simply playing hard and playing defense as a young guy. That's his reputation, and it's a lot easier to adapt that way than if your game is only throwing up shots.
Probably true. Just curious, have we ever had a player that got absolutely no playing time in Big12 action as a freshmen, yet go on to be a contributor the next year or two?? I thought even Naz played some Big12 minutes his freshmen year, but I could be wrong.
Naz played in 4 games (3-4 min), all of which were decided by 17+ points. Can't compare when every games a game this year.Probably true.

Edit: My bad, didn't scroll up far enough to see the 3 games he played 0, 1 and 2 min.
He also got 2 min in our drubbing of Notre Dame, fun memory.
Long will benefit from not having the same coach as SDW in this regard.Never underestimate the playing time you can get by simply playing hard and playing defense as a young guy. That's his reputation, and it's a lot easier to adapt that way than if your game is only throwing up shots.
