Darien Williams is a Cyclone

[CycloneErik]

Yikes; I guess Fred & the trainers feel ok with it, but sitting out a whole year and not playing takes a little of the bang out.

My brother was a good baller and had what sounds like the same thing - the shoulder kept popping out after dislocating.

We've had a good # of guys sit out a year and turn out OK. I don't think that'll be a problem.

But they were playing / practicing. When does Williams get to play; sounds like he's out a while.

Why am I recognizing the name of the CC he's coming from? Did we have another transfer from there recently? I can't remember...but the name rings a bell.

How serious is this shoulder surgery? Sounds like he will miss significant playing time next year so when he arrives at ISU he might be a little rusty?

That's not the only thing.

What was that movie where the kid breaks his arm building a raft or something and after the cast comes off he throws 100 mph fastballs and he gets called up from Little League to the Chicago Cubs?

What if they fix his shoulders and he can shoot 80% from three?

It could happen.

If I a little late on this sorry. But since he's not coming till '15 and will be at a juco still, we still have 2 more scholarships available. Essentially DW will be filling BDJ's scholarship.

So you're saying that it's not over yet? Exxxxxxxcellent.

He wasn't playing at ISU next year anyway so now we get an extra year out of him. Barring a botched surgery this glass is full.

Awesome news!

Yep, even if he is a little rusty, in theory he could spend an entire year getting back into the swing of things and then contributing 2 years.

While he is mending in school next year, we need to remind him about carting stop signs and running red lights after drinking underage is currently frowned upon by the current admin. Just saying....

When I've looked around most websites have him at 6'7 but all of the recent publicity on him lists him at 6'9? Anyone in the know, know what his true height is? Its very possible all of the smaller height stuff was hs height and he's grown but wasnt sure.

And what will his wingspan be after surgery? Maybe we can add some extenders.

I'd guess 6'8" or 6'7". Watching him against IHCC he will add more length than we have had, but he would be a bit undersized if he were in a system expecting him to be a banger-back-to-the-basket type.

Welcome to the Cyclones, Darien! You are in for a wonderful time at Iowa State!

With all due respect to next year's team, 15/16 is shaping up to be incredible.

 

[cyclonenation5]

Would.

@Trey_Scott3: Darien Williams: "We went to the Sweet Sixteen .. barely tipping what we can do. This is a national program. We've got to get to the top."

Really like his use of the word "we," especially when making reference to this year!
