Cheikna Dembele

[WastedTalent]

Speaking of front court transfers, what ever happened to the guy from UNLV? Goodluck Okonoboh? Did he disappear off the face of the earth? Haven't heard anything about another school and he left UNLV way before 2nd semester, I'm pretty sure.

Never did hear of a commitment. I know he went on a visit to Arizona St, same time Elijah Thomas from A&M was taking a visit. Thomas chose Clemson.

I wouldn't be surprised of Goodluck just tried the draft this year. He'll make money somewhere for at least a couple years.

That is my guess.

Wherever he goes. Goodluck to him. Sorry had to say it.

ISU should be near the top of the list no matter who recruits due to the huge opening at the 4/5 with an elite backcourt returning. I hope we get this guy.

Heard this type of thing before. Never seems to matter.

It will probably help now that our head coach wont be telling recruits he might not be here next year

 

[cyclonespiker33]

I'm unsure if this has been clarified. Would he have 4 years of eligibility?

We were his first major offer. That usually holds some weight. If he commits, I just hope he is ready to contribute. i'd hate to see us not make the tournament with Morris, Long and Thomas as seniors.

It will be interesting to see what his time frame is for pulling the trigger. I would suspect he will wait until closer to the May signing date. He is just getting going from the sounds of things and that way he can evaluate the roster after early entry players declare.

We will likely have some major competition before it's all said and done.

Thanks for the link. BUT.....I really wish I wouldn't have read this. Now I feel teased. If he's blowing up as much as this article is hinting, big dogs will come hunting. Are we a big enough dog?

Not really much new information, but I thought I'd post it anyways.

Edit: Just realized this may be premium content

The NBA wants Cheikna Dembele. The NBA NEEDS Cheikna Dembele.

I think a much bigger issue is his eligibility for Fall 2016 given he got to the USA in November.

Agreed I'm a little skeptical about that too. Hopefully that will keep some of the big boys away and then he will ultimately become eligible.

 

[ISUTKD]

Is it pronounced "Cheek-nah" or "Shake-nah"?

 

[Knownothing]

It seems like there is always one late foreign recruit that makes a big splash, everyone offers, then we never hear from them again
