Darien Williams is a Cyclone

I really think the surgery helps us. He won't use his 2nd year of eligibility and Darien will have plenty of time to work on strength and conditioning while rehabbing his shoulder.
Wow I hadn't thought of that. I was counting us down to one open scholarships, but you're right.
So we could actually have another week like this. I'm going to have to learn to rosterbate with either hand.
If he is having what I think he is having based on the way he described it, it is serious. It is a surgery you can put off but it only makes the problem worse. Basically they cut and retie the shoulder ligaments and muscles shorter and tighter. My sockets was warn open both ways so nothing holding it in but the muscles. I was in a half body cast for 10 weeks my sophomore year and out of every activity all year. I never gained full mobility of that arm (that's kind of the point, my right arm goes up 6 inches higher than my left). So if it is the same surgery he could lose some wing span and will have major physical therapy work to do.
Agreed that would be perfect.
Still like that he has 3 years to play though. In this day and age, you can't complain about getting 3 years out of a player.
I'm really, really excited for this kid. Hoping the rehab goes perfectly. Can't wait to see him on the court.
I attend nearly every IWCC home game, this kid along with McKay will give ISU a combo of athleticism and length like we haven't had in my 3 decades plus of watching ISU bball. I can't wait to see what Morris does running the court with those 2 gazelles. The LA Clippers may have to hand over the "Lob City" moniker.
