Pretty good company, eh?

Tremendous improvement for sure. The last several games he has gotten much better at passing the ball back out if the situation or position is not quite right. watching his and Dre’s progress this season has been so much fun
 
Is doing a much better job(this year) of establishing position deep in the paint to receive passes.. Frequently from Andre. Am also impressed with his hands. Soft hands for a big fella.

Props to SnC Program.Improvement in his hops/fast twitch muscles are noticeable. All good for a deep run.
 
Becoming a UConn all time great? Only time will tell but I like where this is heading!
 
Every time I watch him play I think about how lucky we are that we beat out Hall for him with just a Zoom call.

More important recruit for Hurley to set the tone of this program than Bouknight, Jackson or Hawkins.

Idk where we’d be without him down low.

Not to mention it’s awesome to see how much fun he has out there.

What a beast.

The best part about Sanogo is that he can be a three or four year player for us. Next year is going to be awesome with him and Jackson both progressing.
 
Sonogo is gone after this year,what reason is there for him to stay,a degree in forest management?there are nba teams salivatating over his size and skill set.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what makes the Boneyard so awesome.
 
Sanogo. I don’t know how long we have him but it’s a beautiful thing we have him now. Just give me 1 more year, please.

I think we had gotten into a pattern where bigs weren't sure if the team could really accommodate them. Sanogo will help us going forward in similar ways to how Bouk did: it helps show that this is a place you can succeed and grow.
 
Here’s another thing which has been brought up here that Sanogo is rebounding against his own guys, like Jackson who many nights has 8 rebounds himself. Martin is a rebounding stud. Whaley. Akok. Cole has a nose for rebounds, had 6 last night.
 
.-.
The other plus we get from a Sanogo, Whaley, etc. is that Danny can sell UConn to anyone regardless of position. No more they are Wing-U, don’t go there, though I still like the sound of Wing-U. If you have talent come here, learn to play D and we will get you the ball. Then when you leave you will make money playing.

100%. We haven’t had a big like Sanogo since AO, and in the college game there is absolutely still a place for traditional bruiser big men.
 
Sanogo is getting better every day. The biggest jump is that he is improving as a teammate. He gets the ball out of double teams. He getting better position to receive the ball. And has stopped flinging the ball at the basket, every shot has purpose and it has made him more fluid and effective.

Part of his improvement is that his teammates have become better at delivering the ball. The chemistry between Jackson and Sanogo is off the charts. That's why he numbers are climbing.

If this keeps up, it will move him up drafts boards and make it impossible for him to stay.

I almost agree with this, largely because recruiting bigs takes on a life of its own, and if you develop a reputation for neglecting bigs (like Ollie did) it becomes self-fulfilling in recruiting.

Sanogo's success, development, and being featured in the offense surely helped get Clingan.

3 points for him to focus on

  • Get a Jumper
  • Understand when you are too far away from the hoop and pass out and reset. Sometimes he still tries his post up too far from the hoop.
  • Pass out of doubles / triples

Not NBA ready yet as his athleticism / strength are the main reason for his success. NBA everyone's bigger and faster.

I love his improvement though, remember watching Brimah for 4 straight years doing the exact same post up and turn around floater regardless of where he was. That was so infuriating he never got better in.

Remember when we would have been super excited with either him or Cliff O? Not sure how he’s doing at Rutgers but likely can’t compare to AS.

Right. Not trying to diminish the impact of having lottery picks like Bouk does for recruiting, but Sanogo is a tone setting type of player who showcases the type of culture Hurley wants in the program.

Sanogo is the epitome of what successful UConn basketball looks like, both past and present.
