Conditt After the Game Last Night
- Thread starter clonehenge
- Start date
He's had a winding journey as a Cyclone, but you can never question his love for Iowa State. Cyclone through and through.
Love George. One of the nicest guys to meet, and definitely a Clone to the bone.
And as bad as the last two years were. He’s been a part of two good teams. That’s not nothing. Guys like brackins and Garrett can’t say that.
Nice young man. We saw him sitting outside the performance center after an early football game as we were walking that way to the car. At that point one of the few basketball players we would recognize. My husband is awkwardly elbowing me and pointing and I am just rolling my eyes and hoping he doesn’t bother George, who kind of laughs and waves and says “hey.”
I can’t take my husband anywhere.

Carvers4Math....I LOVE your statement..."I can't take my husband anywhere"...What a Classic Post!
...and remember GO CYCLONES!
Seen enough personal accounts from peeps on CF about nice interactions with him at football game etc (pictures with little kids and all) to have a big like for this Cyclone.

So sad to see, George really is such a good guy and very kind. I hope he has a good post college life
Two or three years ago we saw him at a women's game and he took a picture with our son. From that moment on he has been his favorite player. I can't remember if it was that season or the next that my wife posted something on Instagram about it and tagged him. He invited us to a game as his guests. Other random pictures at football games since then.
We waited last night hoping to get one last picture but George was obviously overcome with emotion and we got kicked out before he was able to be consoled. Our son was crushed but we couldn't have asked for a better role model for our son the last few years.

George is a true Cyclone. I've seen him at various Iowa State events. He was even front row for the Iowa wrestling dual. He'll be missed.
GC has taken in the entire experience too. Always supporting other programs. Good dude.
Maybe it’s not “it” for him. He is eligible for another year.

He was sure acting as though last night was it. But we have seen that before so who knows.
He has been a stand up Cyclone and I am glad that, if this is it for him, he will end his career in the NCAA Tournament.
For sure. Initial reactions look like “that’s it”, but it wouldn’t be because of eligibility.
He could come back, but watching that video, that looks every bit like a young man who knows he's played his last game in Hilton and was taking his time to take it in and say goodbye.
I think you hit the nail on the head. For George and others, putting on the cardinal and gold hits differently than just wins and losses. Senior night can be tough no matter what happens on the court.
It’s somehow more poignant that he waits until the place is practically empty.
George and his family are perfect examples of Cyclones for life. I hope that we will get to see the next George join the Cyclone Family. Thank you George for everything that you have done for us.
Never have questioned his passion and commitment as a Cyclone. Great kid that represented ISU well. I think his emotions after the game are a pretty good indication he probably is not coming back for another year.
He's the lone 4 year guy from the 2018 class we had high hopes for with 2 guys now in the NBA in THT and Haliburton and Zion Griffin who is now with UIC and having a decent year I see. Prentiss Nixon was a transfer from that class as well.
