BASKETBALL RECRUITING: 2012 prospect Georges Niang to visit ISU
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
I would take a Kevin Love on this team. How much more effectively would this year's team have been at getting out on fast breaks if they had had a big guy down there that loved pulling down rebounds?
You would take a consensus first-team All-American as a freshman? That's bold. I'm not sure I would. Seems like a reach.
I can't take any story about a recruit seriously without a star rating. How many stars, CW? HOW MANY!!!!!!
Best case scenario: Niang brings along his teammate, Nerlens Noel, who is one of the best center prospects to come along for awhile. Noel is a 6-10 soph.

I know some folks weren't super happy about Niang after the video that was posted of him dunking. He appeared to not have a lot of hops, but you don't always have to jump out the gym to be a very good college player.
Look no further than Fizer. He couldn't jump that well and wasn't super fast, but was fluid and quick to turn.

This... Niang will be a nice addition and if he comes in and loves his time at ISU, perhaps he and Noel are close and he can pass the word along...:yes:
I witnessed Fizer's heals hitting the back of the backboard after ducking so he didn't crack his skull on it. Have to disagree both on his ups and speed.
His heels hitting the back of the backboard? I have no idea how a player would even get in this position.
Yes. I don't understand how you duck and hit your heels on the back board either.
Well Fizer didn't show this great leaping ability in games then. As I said, he as a very fluid player, but he didn't seem to have a lot of hops. I've always thought, that's part of the reason why he flopped at the next level. Anyway, my point about Niang is that he doesn't necessarily need to jump out of the gym to be very good, which is what some people were upset about.
Can't tell if you are being serious...Fixer "flopped" in NBA because he tore both ACL's. The year he was healthy he averaged like 20 a game and was up for 6th man of the year. He could score at will, just like in college.
