2020 Recruiting: Adama Sanogo to UConn

[Huskybass]

Two years ago we were getting blown out by 20 plus points routinely. Now we are legit contender on the national landscape. An absolutely tremendous job by Coach Hurley and his staff.

Really is amazing what a job he has done to turn this around and the move to the Big East seems to just accelerate that.

Hurley's plan for world adama-nation is coming together nicely.

It's a strange world

Although Sanogo, a native of Mali, was unable to take an official visit to Connecticut’s campus because of the coronavirus, he was able to learn more about the school through Zoom calls with Hurley and UConn assistant Kimani Young,

Wild, 2020 year of the zoom. Feel like the staff showed a giant chart of @tcf15 scholarship grid and he saw the one spot at the bottom remaining and it made him commit. He didn’t wanna miss out on the opportunity to see the grid update with his name on it.

In all seriousness, what a get. Hurley and the staff are animals when it comes to recruiting. So excited for the team next year and moving forward, the momentum is real. We’re in good hands.

Currently sipping coffee, blasting "damn it feels good to be a gangster", and visualizing Andre Jackson dunks, Sanogo rebounds, Akok blocks, and Bouknight nastiness next year.

I mean we gotta play now, right?

UConn men land prized big man Adama Sanogo to fill last scholarship for 2020

Dan Hurley likes to employ a defense that pressures and forces turnovers. It’s a mentality that works on the recruiting front, too, and the Huskies kept pressing until they turned highly tout…

One could be Adama. One could be Sanogo.

Wait, are you being serious? Cuz I don't live in CT but I just might drive out there to scoop ...

 

[nomar]

Did he ever step foot on campus?

Virtually

(That was a bad pun but, seriously, from the Courant article: "They won him over with a series of videos of the campus, a 'virtual visit' and Zoom calls.")

 

[HuskyBoi]

It was so early in the morning that I thought I was still dreaming.
I was not.

 

[Biteymax22]

Dear god did CT need some good news right now, thank you Coach Hurley for delivering!

 

[Dove]

Ohhhh yeahhhh....

 

[UC313]

Ohhh hell yea! We can be a legit 13 deep team by January.

From what I've watched of Sanogo, I think we'll see him at both the 4 and 5, which is to say he can play with any other big we have. Watch this play here. He catches the ball just above the 3-point line, dribbles past his man, makes a great pass down low, and then gets the offensive rebound and scores. You can't have a more impressive play than that as a big.
