Pretty sure we'd take every one of those guys if given the opportunity. Niang, McKay, and Nader will all be Sr's in 2015.
If we get any 2 of those guys I'll be pleased.

Forgot about Clark. Would be a terrific front court. I think they can all shoot too except Diallo and Illikainen.
Illikainen is a very good shooter. Mainly an outside player right now, very skilled, not a post player.
Illikainen can shoot or operate in the post. He's basically Georges Niang +2 inches of height with fewer post moves.
6'9" players are post players, regardless of how they shoot the 3. You're not playing a 6'9" guy at the 2 or 3 unless you have 7 footers down low.
I thought Ellenson was the taller version of Georges. In all the Illikainen videos I've seen I think he's only taken like 4 jump shots.
Agreed. If we get one of Diallo, Ellenson, or Illikainen I will be ecstatic. Personally I'd be surprised if we got any of them.
@TravisHines21: The Indian Hills team and Iowa Western's Darien Williams ('15) expected to be at Hilton Coliseum today, per a source.
From what i've seen in videos, they're quite different. Ellenson is already enormous (6'-10" ish, 250 lbs) and runs the court like a deer.
Ellenson would also fill a void that we're currently lacking. A rebounder with size to be exact. We've got to stop losing on all of the 50/50 balls that are in the air.
Ellenson is about tops of my recruit wish-list right now. Size and skill set fit great with a Hoiberg team, perfect situation for him to walk into for both sides, with 3 Sr-to-be forwards on the team currently (McKay, Niang, Nader), only 2 of which are actual post players.
Williams, Washington, and Bobbitt please. Oh, and if Scott and Medford want to switch over to the good guys, that would be fine.
