Do we have even the slightest clue if he's actually coming?

I think before we make him a 1st team B12 or a kid that ends up transferring to a D3 school we should know if he'll ever step foot in Ames.

I don't know if he'll ever make here, but the news is all over the Greek sports websites. I googled his name then hit more images and clicked on pictures of him which led to the Greek websites. I installed Google translator so that I could read the pages.

It is really a blast reading the translated pages. We were called the "Iowa State Warriors" and the Iowa State Saiklons! Love that phonetic spelling.

You know Russian hackers are now watching live from your web cam and have all your account numbers and passwords right?

Really like him on the second video. Very active. Shows some quickness with his feet and passes. Nice hands on catching passes and with soft touch on shots. The only thing Woodbury has on him is strength. While unrealistic, I would love to see him get a redshirt year of weight training.

Might Hoiberg hire an assistant who focuses on the big guys?

I would like more info on this tsalmpouris Chris/Hines. How good of a player is he? Top 100 recruit maybe? What type of star rating would he have if he was on rivals? Why would the NBA tip us off to this guy that seems unknown. Also Please tell us how to pronounce Georgios or Tsalmpouris properly. The line up possibilities are huge for 2014 season. So much DEPTH and LANK (aka length)

This guy reminds me of Kravic from Texas Tech. Same build. Could run floor well for size. Kravic showed some touch around the rim at times. But I sure hope that our guy is 10x the player Kravic was.

Great news is the college champion in the Big 12 if I'm not mistaken with the presence in the final phase. Much better from playing B category.

Nah, just Woodbury. It isn't so much that Adam has white skin or lacks athleticism that makes it so he wouldn't be a good fit it at ISU, it's more that he's just really terrible at the game of basketball.

He is a woodpecker, always pecking around the edges, never really contributing that much to the game.

I am sure CFH has reseached this player much more than the expert recruitors of Cyclone Fanatic. If this kid is any good , he will eat Woodpecker's lunch as soon as Fred tunes him up to play well at ISU.
