RECRUITING: Zion Griffin commits to Iowa State

[Bewilderme]

Woo! This feeling is why I tolerate the dregs of daily CyFanatic-ery. When I hop on the board and see some completely unexpected news. Woo!

Also, Kansas must be destroyed

For those of you that have had the time to keep up with recruiting this year, how likely is Halliburton, Conditt, and Harris each?

Didn't think all three were possible because I assumed Griffin would go to KU. Now maybe it is. Prohm just keeps knocking out of the park!!

I saw Griffen at breakfast on Sunday morning. And, to be honest, I would have guessed he was much taller than 6'6". He looks like he is ready to play basketball.

What an amazing way to start the 2018 class (both surprising and wonderful).

You gotta thank Fred for packing the snowball but Prohm has shown he is well equipped to roll it down the hill.

Results are to be seen, but seems CSP has already out recruited the HS ranks? Probably a few quibbles to that statement but what the hey - I'm excited!

Speak of the devil, I think Fred's son Jack played for a different Hinsdale HS than Zion. I wonder if they played each other.

Holy crap! I thought this guy was the longest shot of all that we were targeting

Shwing!

Excited to see Zion playing in Hilton. He has the versatility to play multiple positions and is already physically ready to get minutes as a HS senior.

Credit Prohm for identifying and prioritizing Griffin. Happy for the staff for one of the "diamond in rough" recruitments to pay off after a little lull.

Zion welcome to CyclONEation!

Daniyal Robinson and Prohm are who he mentions in this article

http://www.suntimeshighschoolsports...sdale-souths-zion-griffin-commits-iowa-state/

Reading that article, you couldn't ask for much more...and we closed the deal to the degree he didn't even visit KU.
