busticket Posted April 15, 2016 Report Posted April 15, 2016 Jordy has a 6'11" team mate named Malik Eichler. He's a German import, and being the giant Standhardinger fan that I am, I wouldn't mind us taking a look. Kind of slim pickins at this point looking for big men so why not, especially if it could help us land Jordy. Quote
FredsSlacks Posted April 15, 2016 Report Posted April 15, 2016 Is he visiting ever..? supposedly still plans to visit us and arizona. Quote
ajb5856 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Posted April 15, 2016 Is he visiting ever..?supposedly still plans to visit us and arizona. Last weekend of this month supposedly although it's been pushed back a million times. Quote
hhcmatt Posted April 15, 2016 Report Posted April 15, 2016 Is he visiting ever..? supposedly still plans to visit us and arizona. It's good to be a big man...why sign now when you can go on free trips and slow play things? Minnesota and Arizona are two schools where Jordy is going to be a backup immediately so if playing time is the biggest motivator you still need to like our chances regardless of how long this drags out.

Dead Dog Alley Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 Gaston Diedhiou is to Jacob Hammond what Jacob Hammond is to Bill Walton in 1973. Minnesota can clear some space if they need to. Quote
big red22 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 If we don't get this kid I may give up hope at ever landing a Big Man... We are basically saying... Jordy you can come in and play in the Big 10... No literally, we have no one else with your skill set and there is not a school in the country that needs you more than we do. Do you also know that we have one of the best practice facilities, and also one of the the best arena's in the country that is almost always sold out? I guess I don't get what the F*** goes on in these kids heads. His opportunity here is ridiculous, and he's possibly going to pick Minnesota or Boston College? I'd get it if it were a big name like Louisville, Syracuse ect... but no Minnesota and Boston College Silverbacked1 1 Quote
49r Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 could it be possible he's like, REALLY allergic to kudzu and wants to stay as far north as possible? Did you ever think of that? bigFRED 1 Quote

I'd get it if it were a big name like Louisville, Syracuse ect... but no Minnesota and Boston College You can substitute Jordy's name for any other C recruit the last few years. And substitute the list of schools for whoever is recruiting the player. I wouldn't get your hopes up as nothing has panned out the last few years and we've been in the same situation. Frustrating yes, but I wouldn't give up hope. A Leslie Smith type player at this time would be great IMO. Quote

I don't know why this decision is so hard for him either. One article I think Robin had on him early on he specifically spelled out that he wants to go to a place where he has the best chance to play right away. Quote
ajb5856 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 We should hear of his visit soon if it's happening. Before his Minnesota trip he was going to come here the end of this month. Quote

Jordy mentioned the delays in taking his visits were due to his brother's knee surgery. Jordy wants his brother to come on the official visits. Quote

But now he's headed out on visits. I just think there has to be something to it like m and r mentioned. Otherwise, wouldn't we hear when he's coming? It keeps getting delayed and now we havent heard a date. Robin would have something up if there was a date. Quote

bball23 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 There we go! This should make people much more happy! No guarantee's, but great they are both visiting! Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Maybe they can become besties on the trip and both want to come here. Kind of like how you hear it happens with the football team. Quote
AuroranHusker Posted April 19, 2016 Report Posted April 19, 2016 Better late than never. Go. Jordy. Go! GBR Quote
