Cheikna Dembele

[CloniesForLife]

My guess is that they would prefer a grad transfer to another 4 year post player. Considering both Lard and Dembele are considered raw but talented.

That's a good point.

I think it's likely down to a grad transfer that can play immediately. Like Jones from STJ.

What? Since 1999 (17 seasons), they've won 6 conference championships and 5 B10 tournament championships. They've been in the Sweet 16 12 times, the Elite Eight 9 times, 7 Final Fours and a championship.

NCAA tournament results are equal or better than Kansas or Kentucky in all categories, as well as North Carolina or Duke with the exception of them each having 2 championships. Am I missing something? Am I on Impractical Jokers?

But, but, do they wear blue, like the other four teams you mentioned?

This guy, while full of potential, looks very raw and very unlikely to stay more than one or two years not sure other options aren't better. You take him if he'll commit though

I'm sure the staff knew about Lard well before we all found out today. They've probably been recruiting Dembele while they knew what the Lard situation was looking like.

You think they'll still try to get another big?

Probably. I'm guessing the staff has known about Lard for a little while at least and have still been recruiting

I think they want to land one more whether Lard is eligible or not. Outside of Burton and Bowie, every other big hasn't logged a college minute. I'm sure they want another guy with experience or a guy like Dembele who could battle with the other newcomers. As awesome as the Lard news is, the coaching staff could still know something we don't and it's always possible they are planning for him to not be eligible.

Yeah, they hired the former New Mexico State HC last week. No idea what system he runs or what kind of relationship he could have built in a week. I can only assume he already have the visit planned and decided to see the strip.

Unsigned 2016 big man Cheickna Dembele will take an official visit to Missouri next weekend per a source. Visits UNLV tomorrow.

It's called a coach "du jour".

Articles earlier in the spring made it sound like we were a main player in his recruiting. Visit announced to UNLV and Missouri (both would have immediate playing time, I assume) but no visit to ISU yet? Anyone no if we or CD have cooled on the situation? Really unfortunate that our staff will be "in limbo" for some time yet on both Malou and Lard. Don't see how ANY coach could like recruiting.

That sounds good. I'll have that.
