Ndiaye, a 6-foot-9, 200-pound power forward, spurned offers from Wichita State and Nevada-Las Vegas and announced he would sign a national letter of intent with ISU.
The native of Senegal averaged 27.2 points and 14 rebounds in half a season at The Nation Christian Academy in Saint Lucie West, Fla.
Woodbury, who is The Nation's coach, said the Redbirds “just landed one of the country's finest” players with a wingspan of 7-3 and a deft shooting touch. Ndiaye visited UNLV and Wichita State after coming to ISU on April 20-22 and later canceled a recruiting trip to Mississippi.
