2021 Recruiting: Adama Sanogo and Samson Johnson

Nice! Sanogo is one of the best big men in his class. I have no clue who Samson Johnson is.

 

[husky429]

Sanogo is underrated. Stats at every level are better than you'd expect. Just a little undersized/earthbound.

Sign him up. Could be a beast of a college player for 4 years.

Wasn’t there talk of a Sanogo reclass?

Maybe this is why Zionn is saying not to lose any sleep over the Omoruyi recruitment?

Wasn’t there talk of a Sanogo reclass?

I haven’t read anything to indicate it’s likely, but I believe he could reclassify.

 

[Cuse Socks]

Seton Hall has been on him the hardest, he's gone too numerous games and Willard is always checking in. But I think he'd have much more playing time here, Seton hall's front court is pretty deep next year.

I want Sanogo more than Cliff bc of his rebounding ability. Looks like Kofi-lite

Anyone else worried about the chance to be Sanogo'd on this?

More amused than worried at this juncture.

Being Sanogo'd may be a very good thing. Not at all similar to being Kasongoed.

and climbing. I’ve seen him a couple times he looks like an Akok clone, literally a long slender 6’9 3 and D carbon copy of Akok.

sounds good as long as we can land another center that weighs more than 200 lbs (but less than 265 lbs cough carlton cough) to pair with him...

Sampson Johnson.

Phenomenal name. Much respect to his parents to go with that one.

I've seen Sanogo type players on many opponents over the years that have been really tough to handle but don't recall anyone we've ever had with his body type except Ed Nelson. Am I forgetting a power forward in the 6'7" to 6'9" and 230-240 pound range?

Jeff Adrien

Jeff Adrien was not 6'7" to 6'9", although he did have the weight. My thought was an Elton Brand type body (taller than Adrien, maybe same height as Nelson) that could dominate inside.

Google his name ... height listed as 6'7" ... it's on the internet, it has to be true.

We may not want those types of players. If we’re going to run strictly man-to-man D often pressing full court and spread motion offense you need mobile kids with endurance. You can find those types of kids that are mobile and can operate on the perimeter but they’re the exception not the rule. When we had Nelson, Adrien, etc we were running much more tradition half court stuff.

Watching Sanogo's footage he runs the court very well and isn't an offense clogger
