2020 Recruiting: Adama Sanogo (MD Virtual Visit)

[navery12]

The SAT/ACT waiver wouldn't apply for Sanogo. All the schools doing it are for Fall 2021 applicants

That makes way more sense. Seniors don’t normally take it during the spring of their senior year.

 

[Jbirdp5]

I am saying they have different rules for their pet schools and we are not one of their favorites

I agree with you but I don’t think much will be done about any of these virtual visits

 

[Jbirdp5]

Just to be clear, Chief isn’t agreeing with the premise “any live body will do”, I think we are targeting the right guys and will get a good player.

I hope ur right but my point is if the short list dries up, let’s not waste a spot just to fill a spot, let’s wait and see what the future holds

 

[Chief00]

If they waive the SAT requirements for one year, a bunch of guys would probably try to reclass for that year.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Well, we all know what he meant. Bouknight wasn't a 5 star top 25 recruit.

Neither is Sanogo, and whether or not we get him, people will be saying "sooner or later Hurley is going to reel in a big one" about the next guy.

First 25 years of college coaching was 1972-1997. Travis Knight and Jake Voskuhl were barely in the top 100; Jake arrived in 1996. Cliff Robinson and Chuck Aleksinas were recruited by Dom Perno. The others were forwards.

And Andrew Bynum.

And Andrew Bynum.

Bynum is still only 32. Averaged 18 ppg in 2011 and only played in 26 more games after that. Such a strange career.

Bowling ended his career...that’s pretty amazing story wise, and sad in every other way.

Auburn just picked up PF JT Thor. I assume this makes them less likely to get Sanogo, which is good news for us.

 

[UconnU]

Seton Hall fans are confident in landing Luther Muhammad. How many scholarships do they have open?

hopefully jalen green too. dont want him at memphis.

1 left for Seton Hall

 

[UconnU]

1 left for Seton Hall

Interesting....

 

[methodology]

That’s not great news. I can’t see those tests being offered again until the fall, or maybe in August. I wonder if the NCAA would consider helping students in this situation by waiving whatever SAT or ACT requirement...lol never mind we’re talking about the NCAA here.

You would have to waive it for every incoming student in the entire country and schools base admissions on those tests

 

[Dooooooomed]

Is SAT/ACT testing still done by scantron or is it digital now?

 

[CL82]

Jake was a heck of a teammate. Set some great screens, banged inside and was a good post defender. He carved himself out a nice NBA career doing these things. Travis and Jake were both great guys.

And great outlet passes. We don't look like "UConn basketeball" without them.

 

[Kemba15]

Interesting....

More movement could be coming for SHU. I wouldn’t assume they’re done in terms of players leaving.

 

[Chief00]

Excellent point. I wish today’s players and coaches would get back to that running opportunist mentality. I was fortunate enough to watch practices where Jim would have the guys practice nothing but full court fast breaks for 15 minutes both off rebounds and inbounds after made shots in the finest Celtics tradition.

 

[HanDurley]

hopefully jalen green too. dont want him at memphis.

Jalen Green to Memphis pretty much done deal

 

[Jbirdp5]

Why do u care who goes to Memphis anymore?

 

[bendm]

Jalen Green to Memphis pretty much done deal

247 only has 1 crystal ball for memphis and the rest for auburn so i hope not

Why do u care who goes to Memphis anymore?

they have the most annoying/delusional twitter followers and i dont want the aac to have any nice things

Projecting Adama Sanogo's Fit at the College Level in 2020

With the news of Adama Sanogo looking to reclassify into 2020, we break down where he fits the best.

njhoops.rivals.com

At UCONN, Sanogo would be playing for NJ high school legend Danny Hurley as the Huskies transition to their first year of Big East play. UCONN ended the season strongly in Hurley's second year at the helm, as they posted a winning record overall and in conference. On the court, Sanogo would compete for playing time with seniors Josh Carlton and Isaiah Whaley in an up-tempo system. The injury to Akok Akok, the highly-recruited 6'9 freshman who was one of the top shot blockers in the country before tearing his Achilles, might give Sanogo an opportunity to play early on.

It’s actually spelled UConn.

His conclusion:

Overall
Sanogo is a very talented player, and his decision on whether or not to reclassify into the Class of 2020 drastically affects his fit at the collegiate level. If Sanogo decides to bring his 6'10 frame and fluid skillset to a college campus this upcoming season, plenty of teams would be able to offer him immediate playing time. Based solely on fit, I think Sanogo projects favorably at Nebraska, Maryland, and Seton Hall.

mamukelashvili + obiagu > carlton + brown = more PT at UConn than Hall.
whaley would play a lot of PF if we got sanogo

maryland worries me a lot more than nebraska for obvious reasons
