Single game highlights of Samson Johnson posted 4 weeks ago




The below link is for the matchup between Cliff #11 and Samson #34 from the Kyrie Invitational back in December. Looks like Sanogo sat the game out.
Kyrie Invitational 2019 - The Patrick School vs Roselle Catholic

I watched this live. He was the best player on the floor. What you don’t see is that the opposing team was hesitant to put anything up around the rim. Like I said Akok clone.

Cliffs presence as a rim protector is obvious, he's blocked Kuminga a couple times. I'd still say he looks like a project, but absolutely an upgrade for us.

Johnson up to 11 and 10 with 4 mins remaining. 6'10, long arms, very fluid/mobile. Hasn't shown any perimeter game, skinny, and disappeared for long stretches. Still someone I'd take to round out our class.

Is this being streamed?

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.

Although he was on the shorter side, he had a 7' 2" wingspan that didn't hurt grabbing those rebounds.

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.

If he is a carbon copy of his work ethic too keep them coming! AA going to bring a lot of excitement in the future. Shotblocker and a regular enforcer would round out the frontcourt nicely.

Sanago is the worst kept secret. He’s the best player every time he steps on the floor.

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

he's ishmael sanogo's younger brother i think, right? ish went to the hall so that's why they're in on him

He plays with Kuminga

Nope, not related. We need to close on Sanogo.

 

[mauconnfan]

Please close this deal ASAP make him the biggest target period.

Kuminga has been out much of the year. This kid is monster, he’s going to end up a 5 Star.

Lynyrd - Eric Hayward. Toraino Walker. Corny Thompson.

We’re doomed.

Willard doesn't put in a ton of in person time. Hurley and staff have to be all over Sanogo all the time and close on him. He would be a mjaor difference maker for us. He's a perfect fit.

To think of the work Adrien was putting in at 6'5 1/2". A double-double machine, punking guys 4 an 5 inches taller than him. The man was impressive.

 

[UCFBFAN91]

Jeff Adrian... maybe my favorite player of all time. An absolute stud

Brand is a good comparison. Footwork and hands are unreal.

Game high 18 tonight in a big win btw.

 

[Hoophound]

Adrien has the arm length of a 7’6” guy. Just unreal reach.

I'm ok with splitting Sanogo/Cliff with Rutgers. Get it done Danny.

If he’s not planning to reclassify that won’t be a factor for him
