Seems like the player type that we have been unable to get over the last 5 years, a down low force. We've been swinging and missing for along time. What to expect year one? Am I making too much of this?

No, you're not making too much of this. This is a GREAT signing!

Here's Evan Daniels' report on him:

PROJECTION
Power-5 Starter

A strong, tough post prospect, Sanogo impacts the game with his energy, rebounding and physical play in the paint. He has a sturdy, wide build, and just OK athleticism. Sanogo consistently plays hard and leaves his mark on the backboard. To go with his motor, Sanogo loves to compete, has fine hands, decent touch around the basket and is confident in facing up defenders and attacking out of the high post.

I love that he's so competitive and always plays hard. He's gonna buy right in to Dan Hurley's style.

Exciting to hear about Sanogo, sounds great. My favorite quality deli sandwich was the "Woody Allen" a pastrami/corned beef monster at the now closed Carnegie in NY. You can actually get sandwiches like my avatar at Harold's in New Jersey where everything is huge and decent quality. They do a group sandwich which is served on its side and stretches down a table. Be prepared to tax your credit card and take home leftovers.
