[Clones85']

[cyclonepower]

It's offical!!

Go Cyclones - Milwaukee forward signs with ISU basketball

 

[Final42b]

why have i never heard anything about him?

 

[2forISU]

What year?

 

[Stewo]

What year?

2009

 

[Bobber]

I was about 170 and 6 foot coming out of high school. This kid is really really thin..

 

[cyclonepower]

I probably would have just banked it, but welcome Antwon

 

[Drive4cy]

I'm sure he'll redshirt to build up his body a bit.

 

[Bader]

So he's eligible next season?

 

[Clones85']

He is a really really good athlete and has a good jumper. Of course strenth will be an issue with him.

Question now is does he redshirt? We have Gilstrap for a year at the 3

Im very excited about this pick-up, he plays on the same team as Jamil Wilson so he doesnt get much spotlight. Very athletic and good shooter.

 

[cyclonepower]

So he's eligible next season?

yes, but look for a redshirt

Not recruited very hard. He is the guy that KG was asking about...the WJ clone with some possible grade issues.

I don't know about that. It's pretty rare for kids to redshirt in basketball. Paul Shirley and Pomlee are the only two redshirts I can think of for ISU in the last 15 or so years.

McDermott certainly likes 'em skinny. Garrett, Eikmeier, and Oliver... I hope Oliver can follow the Justin Hamilton diet.

 

[Final42b]

I'm not really sure why we got this guy, he is barely being recruited. Owell ill trust the staff knows what they are doing.

 

[BryceC]

Does the staff not feel good about Ejim and Barnes? I mean with Gilstrap here for a year it seems odd to take a flyer on such an unknown guy, and especially one that will obviously need to develop a ton.
