Darien Williams is a Cyclone

Yep. And with him announcing the redshirt, his value goes up a lot.
Huge get, probably even bigger for us than other programs based on what we like to do with our posts.
It is also huge to get this commitment now so the staff has a better idea on how to use the remaining two scholarships this spring.

We are a National Championship Contender with this lineup in 2016 (and not too bad in 2015 either with BDJ).
He's a lot like McKay...Morris will be throwing lots a lot of lobs the next few years. You rarely get a chance to RS a juco kid like this, he's going to be a beast in 2 years.
How serious is this shoulder surgery? Sounds like he will miss significant playing time next year so when he arrives at ISU he might be a little rusty?
I'm kind of curious about that too. It's not like the shoulder isn't important for shooting a good shot.
cool:

It sounded like it wasn't too serious but yes it sucks he has to take some time off. The article said he isn't sure where he'll spend his last year of CC. I hope he stays in Council Bluffs.
Nope, but shows once again that we have some of the best JUCO/transfer recruiters in the country. I'd take BDJ and Williams over a Vaughn commitment without thinking twice.
Also, anyone know if Williams' shoulder surgery is on his right or left, or more importantly, shooting or non-shooting?

He has 3 years. This is getting crazy.
You know, since this is a website, CW can work from anywhere. We can make this a permanent vacation, but in the peaceful and happy sense.

You would think he will stay at Iowa Western to keep his scholarship. I doubt any other JuCo will give him a scholarship to not play for them. That would be silly on their part.
Hey Dave. However, even my excitement over Darien's decision won't entice me to do the former. Sorry if you're disappointed!
Why am I recognizing the name of the CC he's coming from? Did we have another transfer from there recently? I can't remember...but the name rings a bell.
Yikes; I guess Fred & the trainers feel ok with it, but sitting out a whole year and not playing takes a little of the bang out.
My brother was a good baller and had what sounds like the same thing - the shoulder kept popping out after dislocating.
