Wow, his highlight video is impressive. Looks to have great foot speed/athleticism for his size and a nice jump-shot. Can’t wait to see him in cardinal and gold (or black).
He does seem to have very good skill and quickness, aggressive moves to the bucket, nice shooting touch both inside and out. Saw a few nice blocks in there as well.

I wonder how his overall defense is? Could be a reason he wanted to play for TJ, better himself in all facets, including defense. The teams Iowa State is putting out lately, appeals to him.

I'm hoping we have a good one here. My Cyclone colored glasses are on.

God I hope not. The Lawrence Welk Show brings back scary memories from my childhood.
LOL, same my grandmother would come out for supper most Saturday nights us kids had to defer the TV. Lawrence Welk every time, Bobby,Sissy and the champagne music makers every time. Still makes me shiver.
Talented yes something a kid wanted to watch nope.

Anyone want to see me get lots and lots of rainbow emojis on a post?

Disclaimer, I am not seeing well now.

That said, I watched Domynikas’ highlights and looked at his Instagram posts.

Then, on a hunch—please note that I have watched little college basketball this year, and that only ISU—I pulled up some Cooper Flagg highlights.

I don’t read well right now, but can recognize length, explosion and athleticism. All I’ll say is…interesting.

Given that TJ clearly scored big on Killyan Toure, I think that Pleta will be okay.
No rainbow emoji from me. Just a simple…stop it. And I’m not saying that in the Archer “I can only get so erect” kind of way.

Just…stop.

I had two years of German in elementary School, one year in high school (best teacher for anything) one year in college, and worked with a company where I was fortunate to travel to Germany. My first trip (never let on I could speak German. Anyway, we were in a meeting and during the break I just stayed in the room. After listening to my German counterparts speak about they are smarter than us, I walked outside to speak to my colleagues about issues they perceived. After break, our team went right into discussions about shortcomings that we missed (ha). Blew them away.
Next trip over same BS, only this time I spoke German during the break. They were all shocked by the fact I understand them clearly and were embarrassed on how they demeaned the Americans.
We received all contracts.

just an FYI, if I entered the numbers correctly on the metric conversions, Dominykas’ X profile lists him at 6’8 1/4” 227.

2.08m 103kg. Feel free to check my fumble fingers.

Edit; I’m wrong on the height. 6’9” and 9/10ths?

In German, yes. 'ei' has an "eye" sound and an 'e' at the end of the word will sound like an "eh"

So hi-suh is how I would write it phonetically. Unlike English, these rules are pretty uniform across the language - only words imported from other languages might not follow those rules.
