We offered him back in December, and he's been flying up the rankings over the last few months. 6-foot-11, long-armed rim-running center who's just 17, and started playing basketball at age 13 (so earlier than Brimah, but still later than most US kids). 247 have him as a 4-star recruit now, and he was unranked back in November.
GREAT article on him, and the Senegalese pipeline to South Florida HERE. Worth a read for sure.
Louisville, Pitt, Memphis and a few others have all offered him. Louisville are considered favorites, but considering they already have six big men on next year's team I'm thinking they can be beat.
I don't know how hard we're recruiting this kid, and I'd rather have a postgrad for next year. But given his age and upside... one in the hand is worth two on the wing.
