He is 6'9 240lbs and strong, yes he can compete with the big boys of the BT. Three years ago he was one of the top recruits in the nation.
Those numbers are not bad considering he only played 21 minutes per game.

He would still have to sit a year correct? So that does nothing next year.
From what I understand it is due to UConn and their impending probation due to their APR that they can ask to be released and transfer without penalty.
I didn't know this kid got in trouble and got kicked off his team?????
Not every transfer that Iowa State has had, got in trouble and kicked off their team smart guy!

CWood you do this everytime. Shut up about it. A few, and not many, HN posters gripe about it or cared. Most didn't think it was a great way to build your team, how many transfers were there 5? Anyway most understand you had 3 scholly players or something ridiculous like that. The majority of us DO NOT care and think it is stupid when a cyclone fan does this condescending B.S. If he is a good player we want him. I'm sure every hawk fan would have taken Lucious or Royce too if they could have.
Just quit bringing it up, it's annoying and a bit in the past.
and kicked off their what?
Only half.
Seriously, my biggest problem with the transfers at ISU is the pure number of them, not that Fred is using them to build a team. One or two is one thing, half the team is a little different. And for the record, I don't care if they've been kicked off their old team if they stay clean in Ames (or Iowa City as it may apply).
who are the ones*
Christopherson
Clyburn
Booker
McGee (from JuCo)
Babb
Only ones that got in trouble-
White
Lucious
Allen

I do not think bringing in a transfer once in a while to fill a need means Fran is not building the program. After all Iowa still has 5 incoming freshman for next season.
But it is so nice of you to care that much about Iowa basketball to come over here to make sure our program is not being built like Iowa States.
I actually came over to here to gauge hawk fans interest of Oriahki. But thanks for caring about what I'm doing.

I do not know about this guy. He certainly sends mixed messages. He is about winning and the team but yet is looking for a school where he can be the focus and get lots of touches. He feels he can be the focal point and shoot the ball but later refers to himself as a defensive player.
I watched him play against ISU.... Big body but not very impressive. He looked to have zero touch around the basket.
I would pass on him if it were me.

And only shoots 57% from the line. Don't understand the love for this guy.
