We really have something special

[CyDaMan]

George Niang is gonna be or golden child here in years to come. So calm and graceful for his age. Mix in Morris, Thomas and we have a hell of a team

 

[Final42b]

Kid is an animal, going to score a lot of points wearing the cardinal and gold.

 

[ISUKyro]

Agree - think we just saw the kid grow up a few years in just 5 mins. If he can play like that AT KU then anything is possible for his future.

 

[CyCrazy]

Agree, its going to be fun watching him grow and get even better.

 

[istater7]

You jinxed him!

 

[nhclone]

Reminds me of a taller, lighter skinned Jamaal Tinsley.

 

[Austin4Cy]

Niang's game tonight reminded me of Craig Brackins Big 12 debut against Baylor...I think this season could be alot of fun as well!

 

[BigBake]

Game was lost when he fouled out...sadly. Dude brought some energy tonight.

 

[MIClone]

Niang is better than advertised. It's great that such a great guy is also so great on the court.

 

[bosco]

Too bad he is the only player with a brain.

 

[SC Cy]

His post game interview was great too. He called Hoiberg a "legend".

 

[tee1up]

Too bad he is the only player with a brain.

There have been a lot of times I have said this same thing, but tonight isn't one of them. Melvin had what, 19 pts, close to 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 turnover, and guarded Withey much of the time. This was a great game. Will be up to Fred and the team to make this a positive and win a bunch of games in a row. Could very easily let this affect them and lose at home to Texas.

Next year may not be as much of a drop off as many think if the guards are as advertised. Niang and Ejim will be a solid base to work from and if Percy can step up his D our front court will be a strength. If one of these JC kids ends up being good we could be dangerous

 

[Cyhart]

Too bad he is the only player with a brain.

Ha! I expect more out of you Bosco! You forgot the jimlad.

 

[Final42b]

It's funny how those recruit rankings go sometimes, did anyone come away from that game thinking that Perry Ellis is better than niang?! If anybody looked like a 5* between those two it was Georges.

 

[CyFan61]

George Niang is going to win at Phog Allen as a Cyclone. More than once.

 

[CYUL8R]

George Niang is going to win at Phog Allen as a Cyclone. More than once.

Preach it, brother!

 

[CycloneErik]

His talent is amazing. I hope tonight finally taught him to stop jawing at the refs. That technical has been a few games coming.

I agree. He is fearless, but needs to let his play speak for itself. That was a cheap shot by Young, but you can't respond.

 

[Cydkar]

Too bad he is the only player with a brain.

So much so that he got a 'T' that ultimately played a large part in losing this game.

I'm not blaming him, by the way.
