2020 Recruiting: Adama Sanogo to UConn

Nope. It the same conference. It has the same offices. We never left.

We used to use NBE as like a slur towards the league. Now that we’re back we can go back to calling it the BE.

Maybe not, but somehow though some cosmic fart in the space-time continuum, we did end up in the AAC.
The nightmare is over, we're back home. Join us and celebrate.

Never indicated I was unhappy about the move, I am thrilled.

Agree, but we don’t have to pretend that we moved out of the conference we joined in 1979 to do that.
 
Sanogo vs Diggins. Sanogo fouls out in the 3rd but is dominant at times. This is from December 2018 you can see that he’s pretty much just a big, long, active rebounding machine. Hasn’t yet added the array of post moves. Not enough has been mentioned about his length, look at how long his arms are. Only measurement I could find was a 7’2.5 wingspan! Measured over a year ago.

Patrick School at Luhi 2/13/20
higher quality version of the game vs Luhi.



Adama is a massive addition. A do it all big man.

He steps out for a feathery jumper just beyond the free throw line early on. If you’ve watched his games you’ll know what a quality finisher he is with both hands. Catches and rebounds like no big we’ve seen at UConn in several seasons. Agile and fluid attacking the rim ending with a finish or a dish.

The way the staff has proven to gradually improve the talent they’ve brought in.. Adama doesn’t have much in the way of a ceiling right now, with expected improvements to his athleticism(only 17).

The game against IMG showed so much of this. Sanogo’s first game back, from ineligibility, and he carries his team to the finish line, albeit in a 20 point loss, with 24 and 12. Was up against multiple 7’ footers, high major D1 commits, and top 100 recruits and was the only real bright spot for The Patrick School. Also, Samson Johnson has loads of potential.

I saw this a few weeks back and didn't watch it because I didn't want to get to know him/get my hopes up if we didn't land him.

After he committed, I tried to find it unsuccessfully. Thanks for posting! So excited to have him.

Who is #21 on LUHI?

Zed Key. 3-star going to OSU. Had 37 points and 16 rebound in this game.

Good player. Just not big or athletic enough at the C spot to have a high ranking. Lower NBA potential. I could see him turning out to be a great college player though.
 
I have to admit I got my hopes up and I wanted him more than Mac or Cliff. Him being from Jersey, climbing up to near 5 star rankings for 21 and being the exact kind of player we needed just felt right. I’m hoping for a solid shooter/ball handler as my number one wish for next year. Someone who can develop as a successor to bouk playing next to Martin and Jackson. I think Cole, gaffney, Jackson/Martin, Sanogo and Javonte Brown Ferguson as sophomores is nearly as good as what we’ll have next year. Bright future as long as we can keep everyone happy while they wait for their turns in the starting five.

Last summer, I compared teams that left the Big East to teams that stayed in the Big East. There are obviously many variables at play, but teams that left the Big East (Syracuse, Pitt, UConn, BC) fared worse, on average, than teams that stayed in the Big East, relative to their previous performance.

Dissolution of the Old Big East and the Effect on Basketball

Let me preface this by saying that I wish UConn was in the ACC. I also understand that the overall success of a college and its athletic program is not defined by men's basketball alone. Don't misconstrue any of this as me saying otherwise. I also know the dangers of drawing conclusions from...

Some dudes won’t have to “wait their turn”. Their turn is now, assuming they put in the work.

Agreed. I’m thinking about Javonte Brown Ferguson and Springs. I think they are both going to very good players for us, but I don’t see a lot of minutes to go to the next year. We’ll see. I’m sure it’ll work itself out.

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

Another full game available here if you're still looking for some to watch.

Adama:

8 PTS
8 REB
0 AST

5 TO
1 STL
2 BLK

3/11 FG
2/2 FT


Cliff:

11 PTS
7 REB
0 AST

1 TO
1 STL
5 BLK

4/11 FG
3/4 FT

Little more evently matched between Sanogo/Cliff this time. Edge definitely to cliff with his blocks and defense overall. Cliff didn’t score much on Sanogo directly early on, but there were times his size/athleticism were just noticeably better. Cliff played 32 mins, Sanogo played maybe 27-28.

Roselle played a ton of 2-3 zone most of this game which flustered Sanogo and his whole team.. Made a few turnovers and got frustrated. Sloppy game by boths teams because of the zone.

Offensively, Sanogo is clearly more comfortable in the PnR. Without that he struggled a little bit.

Patrick School often takes out Sanogo when they want to press. Go with Samson Johnson at the 5.

Because people have been filming all of Kuminga’s games for the past 2 years there’s tons of tape on him, just needed to look harder. Almost all of OSNA’s games from last year are on YouTube. The Rens games are interesting.

The Sanogo VC vaulted us into ESPN's Top 25 recruiting classes at #16. That's the best in the Big East.

Here’s an interesting game to watch. Sanogo(as a soph at OSNA) last year vs 2021 Uconn target Rasool Diggins. Hurley was at this event. Notice how much skinnier Sanogo was. His scouting report at the time was long, defensive oriented type big. He’s totally changed his game since then.
