Juco recruit per Van Coleman

**Whitey** · 01-26-2007, 10:02 AM

Van Coleman was on Cotlar this morning, and he said that we might be adding a Juco recruit to next year's class. He said the kid was about 6'8" 245 lbs. He's averaging something like 15 pts. and 10 boards in 25 minutes of play.

Does anyone know about this kid? Do we have one scholly left for this guy?

Two different guys from Chipola College (Mike T's JUCO) have ISU listed.

Supposedly we don't have a scholarship available, but we were going to make when we were going after Stinnet and McFarland so I think it is a possibility.

We might be recruiting him just in case we lose someone. I don't think we have any open schollys.

I heard Coleman was just raving about Dykstra, the '10 commit. What was he saying about him?

I don't think the staff is targeting either of these players from Chipola. I also think Van Coleman is misinformed on the juco player but anything is possible.

I don't know. Van actaully is at the events and speaks with the players and coaches

I guess we'll just have to wait and see if ISU signs any juco players soon. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Only time will tell.

Just thinking about this. He probably started recruiting a JC kid because of the way Jiri was not adjusting and figured that Jiri was on his way out of town after the year was over. So I imagine Greg was recruiting a kid until something clicked a few weeks ago with Jiri.

Van just said that Dykstra is gonna be a special, special player.

Pretty impressive that he also has a wikipedia entry.

Maybe Chizik should show some interest too. Indiana's player bio states he runs a 10.8 100m, not too shabby.

He could be a great tight end if he had any blocking ability.

**seneca4MVP** · 01-26-2007, 01:19 PM

Take what Van says with a little grain of salt. He has many times in the past, said that ISU is going after such and such player, only to never hear their name again. Usually we never contacted that player.

Cem Dinc is rather old news. There was some level of interest in Dinc some months ago but I'm not sure he is still a target. It's possible but unlikely according to things I have heard.
