A warm body in the frontcourt. I'll take it this late. Do you know when Ernst will be cleared to play? Aren't ACL's usually about 8 months?

 

[Freebird]

Welcome fellow River King!

 

[DurangoCy]

Welcome aboard!

Nice scoop! From the video, looks like he's a good dunker. To me, it sounds like Giorgos won't return.

I like it. Iowa boy. One less guy tearing us up for the Bulldogs or Panthers. Nice athleticism for a big.

I'll assume that he is a back to the basket post, without an outside game from the video

 

[RotatingColumn]

Never heard of Clinton U. How many years of eligibility does he have left?

My thoughts exactly, I'd rather take a chance on a guy who can give us depth and maybe develop in to something useful for us. Rather than let UNI grab him and have him go off for 20 and 10 against us. I hope he can be of some use for us moving forward!

I would think this means the Greek isn't coming back

 

[baagoe]

Thought he was more of a mid major guy but not like there's a lot of guys left to fill 2/3 schollies. Would think that he redshirts next year with the ACL. Welcome aboard Brady!

I thought it was referring to Clinton High School.

 

[Clonebydesign]

Welcome aboard! Man I wish I could dunk just once, feeling down now.

 

[DFWClone]

There were a lot of white kids in that highlight video. That's for sure.

Would really like to see him redshirt. Iowa kids tend to be hard workers, let him build up some strength and could be ready to go by his redshirt sophomore year.

I like the jump ball highlights

I like it. Iowa boy. One less guy tearing us up for the Bulldogs or Panthers. Nice athleticism for a big.

He finished 2nd in the 2014 4A State High Jump clearing 6-6.
I found some basketball game footage on Hudl.

[HGPuck]

A very likely redshirt candidate so he can get back to 100% and continue to develop. In the mean time will give another big to practice against and a small insurance policy if we have an injury and are desperate for another front court player. Wouldn't think this has any bearing on Tsalmpouris or still looking for a JUCO/grad transfer front court guy for next year.

 

[Bigman38]

hmm, a mid major guy coming off an ACL tear. I assume that means Giorgos is likely gone and Prohm felt he had to take a big for insurance.
