So, I searched to see if he was related to Aziz Shittu at Stanford who is going in the NFL draft, but they are not. Shittu is a very popular name apparently. In fact, there is a Yoruba clothes designer named Major Shittu.

Montverde has an absolutely absurd front court with De Souza and Montgomery also 5 star, top 10 players in that class.

If Naz Reid continues to appear Kentucky bound, I hope we can spark the interest of a player like Shittu.

Some secondary likes might still trickle down your way.

I had to triple check to make sure this thread hadn't started on 4/1/16.

Banned, banned, you're all banned.

I'm just imagining Charles Barkley giving a halftime analysis of a UConn team with both Shittu and Diarra...

 

[Edward Sargent]

Good gravy what are they feeding these kids. He is only Jr in HS!!

It's Vital that we get Shittu help with our Brown Diarra combo.

"Shittu dumps it to Diarra who flushes it for the deuce and one!!!"

Hope the locker room has plenty of Charmin!

LOL! The thought of those two on the same team is just wrong. I don't know how any TV or Radio announcer won't have some sort of long pause after saying these two guys name in succession. They'd have to be thinking, I so bad want to say something on the air, but I just can't. If it were me, I'd have to say something like, Shittu and Diarra, UConn has some serious # 2 options.

Yeah there's a couple guys doing some construction work outside my window

Yep. Shittu has exploded up the rankings.

 

[mauconnfan]

This place will be a shittu storm if he commits early.

Insanely original puns aside, this is the second time UConn has visited him in two months, and this time it was KO himself. Looks like Simi is becoming a priority, which is great because beyond being a 5 star talent, he is the premier interior passer in the 2018 class.
