BASKETBALL RECRUITING: Hoiberg/Otzelberger watch 2012 PG

[Clones85']

Not everyday that you see a right handed kid finish with his right but dunk with his left.

I like the sounds of long. As mentioned, he would be a nice complement to Sledge. At 6'-4", it would give us a lengthier option should Sledge have problems guarding or running Offense because of a particular matchup. It's to be seen if he will have problems with this, but Long does sound like the yin to Sledge's yang.

If he was joining at semester it wouldn't affect the commited high school players for the class of 2012. Unless he paid his way for a semester.

Yep, there is a schollie available for the Spring 2012 semester that Long can claim. As of now, there is not one available for Fall 2012 so it's possible the staff has some inkling that a current player or a committed 2012 recruit will not be here for Fall 2012

Long would add depth for this season's team and if issues emerge with PG play this upcoming season, he would be a talented alternative to address those issues.

Also, he is capable of playing WG, too, so he and Sledge would have the potential to play alongside each other.

Where is that spring schollie coming from?

We have an open scholarship this year so he could use it this spring

[Psiclone]

Ahhh, good point. It looks like he was/is high on Mizzou as well.

6'4" - "Long" for a PG, definitely a plus at the position ala Diante. Definitely like that we're recruiting another guard who can full-court press.

We're late to the table but worth a try.

[Cydkar]

He's more similar to SDW than anyone else on the roster.

[Cyforce]

I don't see the advantage of joining at semester. how much help can a freshman PG be after being that far behind?

He could redshirt this season and still get the advantage of practicing with the team.

[Yes13]

I got a Diante Garrett vibe from him in that video.

[MC CrappinHawks]

Because Georges is all-in, and SDW just committed? just guessing.

Okoro IS coming. One of his twitter posts yesterday was just the hashtag CycloneNation about 12 times. He will be here, and hes pumped to be a Cyclone.

[ChrisMWilliams]

Possible Fred already knew NWC was a Mizzou commit?

Not the case at all. I actually believe that NWC would have gone to Iowa State. Cyclones felt a need at PG and that's the route they are going IMO.

Do you have any info on where the scholarship is coming from for next year?

[Cydkar]

So if NWC wants to go to ISU will they turn him away?
Reworded: Does he still have an offer?

In my opinion, no, he does not have an Iowa State offer.
