Jacob Toppin

It is a no brainer. Looks to have a high upside. Long and athletic. Could definitely help next year.

Shayok's development and success as a sit out transfer is certainly a plus.

 

[Psiclone]

ain't legal for him

Yeah, that will stop him getting it from the other students.

If he wasn’t Obi’s brother or had Kentucky and Oregon after him I know exactly how’d I’d feel about this one but I just want us to land somebody and he seems like he has a ton of potential.

Probably not, but not all attention/offers are earned just based a players own merit.

My only potential worry is the only reason ISU is included with UK and Ore is a favor to Kane from Obi... Though it is just as likely that Kane made it known that ISU would take Jacob if he wanted to transfer thus made his list a day later. I believe it was a bit of surprise he left RI as he was getting minutes as a freshman.

We also have to remember Obi Toppin was NPOY Obi Toppin his freshmen to Junior years. No way that you can count on the same type of career and work ethic as his brother but Jacob is athletic and could develop that way. Definitely worth a shot on potential wing with the schollys open.

@MatthewBain_ Iowa State just completed a virtual visit (Zoom call) with Rhode Island transfer Jacob Toppin, his mother tells me. Toppin, younger brother of Dayton's Obi Toppin, has narrowed his choices to Iowa State, Oregon and Kentucky.

Cyclones assistant James Kane coached Obi at Dayton.

this is exactly the kind of transfer I figured Prohm would be able to go out and get.... a very average player at best.

Yes, lots of fun. Just not anything related to ISU basketball for a while unfortunately. This program is in real dire shape folks. Face reality at some point.

Battling Kentucky and Oregon for a recruit is a positive thing you know that right?

I get it, but if we beat out Kentucky and Oregon for a player, you should be pretty happy about that. They want him for a reason.

FIFY. this is Exactly the kind of transfer I figured Calipari and Altman would be able to go out and get....

In the, “it probably means nothing but I’ll say it anyways” news, CycloneMBB on Instagram only follows 54 people. They are all current players, former players, other basketball programs or staff members. The one exception? Jacob Toppin.

Nice find.
IF Tobbin does pick ISU by this weekend I think we can assume Kane held the puppet strings on the deal.
And I will enjoy Iowa fans reaction to ISU beating UK on a recruit and seeing Tobbin dunking on their slow lumbering center in 2 years. Revenge for the hate they directed at Obi.
Oh and them saying that neither Oregon/UK offers were commitable, which will be coming.

this is what he lives for. Iowa State to fail.

 

[CloniesForLife]

This guy would be a real nice pickup at this point. Still need a good PG though!

 

[ZZZ]

If Toppin were to commit, would he have any chance at getting a waiver to be immediately eligible or would he have to sit a year?
