Best of the three mentioned today.
Played D-1 ball for 3 years.
Better stats and less risk than the jucos.

Stats-wise, he seems to be a Biruta replacement. He's immediately eligible:

Rats! Iowa State gets everybody and they seem to have
25 scholarships open every year.
I like the idea of a D-1 guy with better stats than the jucos mentioned.
Better competition is important.
Plus jucos sometimes have bad habits.
X Munford was a huge exception. of course.

It has been known for awhile that Olivier was going to transfer, but this is day one since he's been released from his scholarship, so there will be dozens more schools reaching out. Obviously that list will not be all-inclusive.
