I dont think he's gotten the redshirt already but he is expected to qualify for the redshirt.
Issa Thiam to Rutgers

interesting 247Sports lists Thiam as a power forward. Obviously he needs to put on some weight and muscle to play the 4 in the Big 10 but for those of you asking for a stretch 4 maybe he will be able to develop into one?
But regardless, good get by Rutgers. Again, with it being this late in the game..getting a 3 star prospect to choose RU over St. John's and Seton Hall is huge. Good luck to him

I am hoping so too. and you would think so right? But this is Rutgers and the NCAA just loves us ya know. Like our verbal commitments..never is done at Rutgers until it is done.
I agree with this 100%. The way RU will improve is to keep the players in the program and build depth by filling classes. If EJ can keep the players we have, get the three verbals enrolled and add a 4th recruit, the team will be much, much improved next year. The injuries are what they are but we have some solid pieces if we can only keep them together. The foot injuries are certainly a concern for the bigs, but hopefully they are OK for next year.
I doubt that SHU offered Thiam. SHU does not have any more scholarships available next year. He's supposedly a good player.
Taurean Thompsom, Alpha Diallo. Seton Hall has offered 2016 kids.
Spots open up. Not saying Thiam had a Seton Hall offer, but not having any available scholarships does not prohibit a program from extending an offer.
Could be the turnover will be the one or two many on this board imply aren't B1G caliber .
Why would that be a bad thing ?
Of course some posters are constantly implying the better players will leave.
I consider them the I told you type and if the player doesn't leave, never mention it again
like it was never said [winking]
Speaking of Freeman, it was just reported on Twitter that he practiced today, non-contact. Official determination of whether he will be out for the season will be made in 4 weeks.
I have always formulated my opinions based on what I feel fact-based reality to be - good or bad - in any given situation or for any particular sport. That being said, yes, I'm okay thanks! LOL!
Not-for-nothing but isn't that, well, the end of the season?
You can't call this a good get until
Herve was very gifted atheleticly....not many compare to him. No way a Herve type is on the board this late with few schools interested

If so then we are not gaining ground on rival B1G schools with this type of player. It sounds like Eddie is scrambling for bodies for next season.
Thiam is a guy they've been targeting for almost a year now. His commit was pretty much a done deal since October, and has been close to top of the wish list all along during this cycle.
Great get by Shoes. That's one for each of the assistants so far here in recent days...

Herve was 6-10+ with a good handle for a big. Thiam is around 6-8. Size we need, but he's not Herve.
I think it was reported Herve was actually 6'6" 1/2 in socks. Man, I wish he would have developed into the player we all thought he could be.
I'm hoping Thiam can be productive for us right from the start.
Herve still makes a nice living as a basketball mercenary playing overseas, and makes occasional appearances on the Ivory Coast national team during international events.
And he's much closer to 6'8 than he ever was 6'10
Macon landed Tripp, Bhatia landed Dailey and Thiam was Shoes.
Thiam had little interest besides RU (despite St Johns making a late push) because this essentially has been wrapped up for months.
This is a GREAT get for the program. This kid has drawn effusive praise from coaches I have spoken with. He can have an impact right away here.

ah Herve. He could have been so much more.
However, who could forget his buzzer beater at the RAC against Providence. I leapt (I use the term loosely) out of my aisle seat and landed on my rolled ankle. With all the noise, no one could hear my expletives, but I nearly rolled down 10 rows and almost onto the court. not pretty.

I remember when Herve had us rolling against UNC on their home court during an early season game during Waters' tenure. For a while, UNC really had no answer for him,
Watching that game, I was convinced that was our year to break the NCAA drought and that we were finally turning the corner.

I'm not celebrating until the LOI is signed, especially if the kid will be playing in the Northeast this winter (which will give other teams a chance to recruit him)
I don't think he was a high priority for SHU who has Sonogo, Rodriguez, Nzei and Singh.
Afraid to ask but does anyone have any idea about his academic eligibility qualifications or concerns?
