Ending his career as one of the best Cyclones ever.

Thank you, Georges.

UPDATE: Just spoke with George. He is pumped up and in. Sounded very solid to ISU. Credited relationship with Hoiberg as key. It was a fun interview. I'll have a complete story up on Monday. Again, have that family stuff tonight that I am already late to. Plus, it is my 1 year anniversary with my wife! I am officially in the dog house.

Gonna go ahead and say bring in the doghouse was worth it.

And that speaking with Niang on a wedding anniversary should have been a sign.

Offers from ISU, Iowa, Texas A&M, Seton Hall, Boston College, Colorado, Miami, Maryland, Providence. (big schools of note)

We found him first and Freddy got him! I imagine him being a skilled 4 who can score from the post, with some nifty moves and good touch.

He doesn't rely on athleticism which will be a bit of a switch up from recent years.

I'm pretty sure it is 2012 guys.

c

talk about calling it

Wonder if this takes us out of the running with Percy Gibson.

Edit: Not to be a downer. Very happy that Niang committed, but would like to see Gibson commit as well.

This made me laugh

 

[CycloneErik]

He done good.

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

He done good.

He was okay.

Don't want! Kid can't ball

 

[Cycsk]

He'd better be [a solid player], since he's on his own in 2015-2016.

Erik, you said it well . . . nearly 5 years ago!

Had to read the whole thread again. Fun stuff. Little surprised that not one disparaging word in 11 pages. Wonder if it would be the same in today's climate of expectation.

I wish he had a little brother named Mikes or Joes.

I started typing this 4 1/2 years ago and forgot to hit "post quick reply "



Great commit! May be going out on a limb here but expect this Georges guy to be a Top 5 all time scorer, eclipsing 2000 points. Also, with Fred here now, and leaders like Melvin Ejim to learn from, Georges will quite possibly win more games in ISU history than any other player, leading us to one of the best runs in ISU history.

Also, I have it on good authority he hated his visit to iowa, got poked in the eye during a pick up game by some ogre, and will make it his mission to embarrass them every chance he gets.



Pretty crazy my predictions are coming true! Feel free to rep me if you wish!

I love this thread, I remember the day he committed and I was just pumped it was a top 100 guy committing after the debacle of the McDermott years.
