So Naz Long is visiting for the A&M game correct? If we do get a commitment from him would we have him for 2nd semester of this season 2011-2012 or second semester of next season 2012-2013? And if we do get him for second semester this season when would he be eligible to play? I know the second semester officially begins Monday January 9th so would be available to play Wednesday January 11th against Missouri or sooner than that?
Where is all of this second semester detail coming from?!
He is a class of 2012 recruit, which means he graduates in May 2012. He would arrive on campus either the summer of 2012 or for classes in Fall of 2012, meaning he would play the entire season if 2012-13.

I'm thinking that maybe he is going to graduate at semester this year and then come to Iowa State a month after he graduates. That's the only logical explanation. Chris can you clear this up for us?Quote:

Yes, it would be graduation at December to join the team for the 2nd semester of the 2011-12 season... This is why I should try to post while also working...
If he came 2nd semester this year we still wouldn't have a scholarship next year. Of course, there is a plan and Fred knows this but I think he's purely a 2012 guy.
this is just like Jevohn Miller on the football team. he was a 2011 recruit, but he graduated a month early to join the team in January of this year.
If it is second semester for this season I don't know how useful a true freshman PG will be after not playing the entire first semester and whole non conference schedule and then trying to jump into the mix when big 12 play starts. Unless the kid is unreal I don't see how it would help that much. When would he be officially eligible to start playing?
No, it isn't "just like" it, because Jevohn didn't join the team in the middle of the season.Quote:

There is no way that he would come back for the first semester of another year just to play for 4 full years.Quote:

If he plays half a season it will be a waste of a year.
agreed 100% if he plays and wastes that year because there is very few situations where a freshman could come in half way through the year and contribute. A redshirt on the other hand would put him at a huge advantage with the extra practice that he would gain.Quote:
