2020 Recruiting: Adama Sanogo to UConn

[jibsey]

Somehow the RJ calls will land us in the crosshairs of the NCAA.......you just know it

It’s allowed for kids to call other kids as long as they are not directed to by a coach. That would be impossible to enforce anyway.

 

[businesslawyer]

May want to reference Borges article (in this thread) quoting Sanogo's coach for a possibility.. I know what I wrote ..Believe what I wrote.. It only means that DH/staff are recruiting extremely talented kids who have NBA skills.. It's all good.. You can certainly correct my use of the English language if you want to.. DH has already said that 2021 will be a critical recruiting year for Huskies

I don't understand. Why would you say "you can certainly correct my use of the English language if you want to" when it's much shorter to say "my bad" and everyone following this knows that you just made a mistake? Can't you just admit it and move on? He didn't accuse you of kidnapping the Lindbergh baby.

This is the profile of player we've been craving since Drummond left.

From Sanogo's highlight videos, he doesn't look lost out there like some recent big men we've had coming out of high school. He's got the mobility, positioning and the look in his eyes like he has an above-average b-ball mentality for a big man out of high school, along with the physical build, height and soft hands. Will naturally take him some time to adjust to the D1 game, but he's going to be a beast.

It's like if Rakim Lubin could play basketball.

This is really the type of player we couldn't get for the last several years, whether it was because of the AAC or the ineptitude of the previous coaching staff. How exciting... now to wait 6+ months.

Hey, at least SHU's got a nice set of steak knives coming.

This is how we landed Sanogo. Zoomin into the Big East.

OMG! This has to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the yard!

Landing Adama Sanogo shows UConn means business in Big East return.

Consider this a warning, a missive to the rest of the Big East. UConn is back and it intends to reclaim its throne.

Anyone have a link to either of the game tapes of him dominating Rutgers commit Clifford Omoruyi?

 

[UChusky916]

Looking at his highlights, what sticks out most to me is that, for a big strong "bruiser", his touch is incredibly soft around the rim and in the lane. To have that kind of frame and tenacity but also having control when shooting is really impressive.

Sure, he can dunk easily with power when near the rim... that's great.

But I can't help but think about all of the missed bunnies in the lane or at the rim that have hurt us (Carlton?)... and how Sanogo looks confident converting in those spots where we struggled. Obviously, everyone shoots 100% in highlight videos, but you can just tell he's capable and he's got "it".

Physically, he's ready to contribute at the college level as a freshman... When's the last time we could say that about a freshman big? Drummond?

Can't wait for the season... It needs to happen.

There's one in this thread somewhere, I think page 2

 

[Kenny11]

Is he implying dirty tactics?

it’s hard to say what he’s implying. These recruiting guys can get great info but are usually bad writers. I guess he’s saying that things can be more clear when uconn is allowed to comment but I doubt hurley is going to get into details about a battle against seton hall’s coaching staff.

Great day for Rutgers. Now if either Cliff or Sanogo make bank in the league they win.

My bad..Next time I'll start with..In my opinion... If you look at some of today's commentary on the Yard.. I think you might be able to deduce why I wrote what i wrote.. My bad.

 

[husky429]

Full games or closer to full.. not a lot. It something.

Yeah good luck. I was on this morning for the news then took 4 hours off to golf and am now trying to get caught back up. Exciting day.

For clarification purposes..What was the "mistake"?

When you said a *minimum* of 5. That implies 5 are a lock and there could be more, there's a minimum of 3 and could go as high as 5 or 6

 

[UconnU]

LMAO at this quote from the Zags article on RJ Cole recruiting Sanogo.

“Cole has seen video of Sanogo, who averaged 13.3 points and 7.8 rebounds for the Celtics this year and was a monster on the boards, out-playing Rutgers-bound big man Cliff Omoruyi on several occasions.”

OK.. I apologize for using the word minimum.. I do believe what I wrote in the post... People on the Yard are already suggesting (as are NBA scouts).. That Bouk is probably gone after 2020.. It means that if the Bouk projection comes to pass.. One more player leaving the Program for whatever reason brings it to 5.. I respect the players and the Boneyard's protocol for not getting into any detail on player movement.. I was simply responding to a post .. I will not get into any detail on why/who I was referring to.. I do believe that there have already been multiple posts today that could lead you to some candidates.. I'm a new guy on the Yard.. Trying to enjoy a huge day for the Huskies.. Cheers..
