Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 4827550, member: 9355"] Sanogo was outstanding especially after the coaching staff trained him to pass well from the post and when he faced up to the basket from 10-15 feet away. What is underrated was his defense-they guy was brick wall that couldn't be moved and he was good at helping out. His best contribution was that he was the true 1 on 1 player that could be given the ball if the motion offense bogged down and he would demand a double team unless the other team wanted to get torched (i.e. Kalkbrenner and Creighton in Gampel last year). He put the team on his back from beginning of February and onwards. I still have faith in this year's team that they can get it done, but damn even with the good freshmen class UConn lost a lot of muscle, toughness, skill, scoring, and athleticism with Sanogo, Hawk, AJax, Alleyne, and Calcaterra.
