I remember thinking we might only have Emeka 2 years early on. He was maybe the best shotblocking big in the country as a frosh and he had moments where his offensive game Showed glimpses, and as a big that’s all u need. Like said above that Arizona game, you knew Ben & Emeka could do special things here.

He was so explosive as a leaper and cerebral (blocking shots in bounds always) on the court as well. He wasn’t the only one. [USER=10]@HooperScooper[/USER] is right on this one. Sanogo was more polished with post moves but Emeka was an elite run/jump big from early days. I don’t see a scenario where Sanogo could be that elite leaper and nothing wrong w that.

some of you may remember when Blaney saw him at some Pittsburgh AAU tourney when he said something like “o my god Emeka” when watching him and reporting back to JC. He was prob like 100-150 ranked at that point and we locked him up shortly thereafter And his stock was rising.

Thank God Isaiah Fox and Jamaal Sampson turned us down!!!
