Oriakhi or Pelle?

**BryceC** · 03-21-2012, 06:46 PM

I'd take Oriakhi. The guy has been through 3 college seasons. He knows what it takes to be competitive at this level and I think we'd probably only get Pelle for a season or 2.

Nah I bet he is a good friend with Pelle and they talk everyday.

100% this!

I'd take either one. Doesn't matter to me. Both are and were 5-star recruits in high school.

pelle is going to sdsu

I think we need a long term solution without a lot of baggage.

Royce is a big loss, but I am completely comfortable with Gibson, Ejim & Booker in the post next year. Add Niang & Railey and we are good.

If we can get a Hs/prep school kid I'd go that direction. If not i still think we could use another 3pt shooter.

Ya, exactly. Transfers are thugs with baggage and it's a horrible strategy to get players that are immediately ready to contribute ala Royce, Allen, Babb and so forth.

Not to mention, Pelle has 4 years of eligibility left.

As a program we need to upgrade our talent.

Percy Gibson didn't sign until May 22nd last year. I don't think anyone that has been discussed will be on campus next year. If we have a transfer then we can just go after someone who left their school and is a 4 year starter or a JUCO to even things out.

Oriakhis won a national championship.. Ill take him

**mattyice** · 03-21-2012, 08:24 PM

Id take Pelle easily.

Oriaki didnt win that championship....Kemba Walker won that title. He didnt exactly light it up this year, and was getting limited minutes. Dont get me wrong.....id love to have him....but not at the expense of losing Pelle.

Pelle's visiting SDSU...hes not for sure going. Id imagine he didnt visit ISU because we didnt have any scholarships at the time. No point in loving a school that has no room for you yet.

But yes....Nerlens Noel is the correct answer to this question.
