Yep, Chris Williams guaranteed it in a different thread.
***Official 2017 Transfer Thread***
- Thread starter Messi
- Start date
No pre existing connection. He did go to a prep school in Chicago out of hs so maybe DRob had a connection that gave him the heads up.
Related to prep school; even though Talley just finished his RS sophmore year, he's old for his age
2016-17 RS sophmore at ODU
2015-16 RS freshman at ODU
2014-15 Redshirt at ODU
2013-14 prep school
2012-13 senior year of HS
Is he eligible this year? I love his game. Shooters are much easier to find than guys that can defend multiple positions.
Randy Onswuasor granted release from Southern Utah
G, 6-3, expected grad transfer
Big Sky leading scorer in 2016-17 (23.6 ppg, also 6.6 rpg, 3.2 apg)
College stats
Based on schools-with-interest from the ESPN article, ISU not in the mix, but he's available.

Also has had 3 suspensions for violation of team rules. Too much baggage in that regard? Or would a re-focus attempt pay dividend for one-season impact?
To be determined. We've seen prohm lay down the law sitting players for violating team rules so if Talley is added to the team I'd imagine prohm and his staff did their due diligence and feel he's improved on the issues that caused him to be dismissed
Possibly, but Prohm's way of handling violating team rules is a lot more strict than Hoiberg's teams. Idk if it is the type of guy that Prohm would be considering, but I guess that is an assumption
Anyone know when ISU is eligible to do another overseas trip? This year would have been a perfect year for one.
I don't know, but I'm sure he's using the Maui Invitational next year ('18) as a selling point, too
Teams are able to do an overseas trip every 4 years. ISU last took one in 2015 so still 2 years.
Along with Messi's response above, makes sense. Close to how I view it.
I also am not familiar with team rules when it applies to Tally. "Violation of team rules" is one of those vague categories you can't always gauge "what" it is (or if he had 3 violations, was it similar thing each time, or varied).
Probably got to Lawrence and realized that Self loves transfer bigs as his backup to higher upside FR players
I suspect he got to that bball dorm and decided that Hamsterdam wasn't the place for him.
