WINTER IS COMING!

Welcome Darien!

Nice.   A guy 6'8 that can shoot the 3

A surprise a day. Tomorrow could be fun.

Sat out this season after shoulder surgery.  Here's his bio from the Iowa St website.  Has 3 years of eligibility:

Played one season at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Iowa before transferring to City College of San Francisco…averaged 16.1 points and 6.7 rebounds for the Reivers…shot 51 percent from the field in his only season at IWCC…also connected on 41.1 percent of his three-point attempts…earned All-Region XI honors as well as ICCAC Academic All-Region XI honors…scored in double figures in 21 games, including a season-high 37 points against State Fair Community College…played his high school ball at St. John Bosco in Bellflower, California

A surprise a day. Tomorrow could be fun.

Sima...and SLice?

Yes! This is actually a huge get. Can space the floor, has size and can play SF and PF for us (depending if we get Diallo or not).

Great news.

Welcome Darien!
So Jon Snow is our new DOBO?  Boy, can Coaches Chris and Matt really recruit those international stars.

More good news to follow today and tomorrow

Welcome DW. It's great to be a Johnnie.

is this what your hearing.

Great news. His size, athleticism and outside touch will be huge additions to this squad. Welcome Darien!

Looking at his size on the video he appears broader than anyone since Sanchez which is good to see for a change.  Glad to see he has 3 years and his shooting is not just under the basket.  Does anyone know why he needed operations on both shoulders?  How does this impact Diallo?

Great news. Has anyone seen him play? If so, who would compare him to? What kind of player is he?

Yes he is no twig. Can mix it up inside and run the floor. Didnt see much long range shots in the videos but his stats say he can fill it up from deep.

Welcome to the family Darien! And keep em coming Matt A!

Can you share the videos you've found? I only see one flying around that must be damaged or something because it's so choppy.

That's DOBO - Director Of Basketball Operations

Iowa State had to give him a release . I am wondering how healthy he is, given that he missed entire year with surgery on both shoulders. Anyone know what is physical condition is?
