Karim Coulibaly

[GHSWolverines]

#UConn showing interest in Karim Coulibaly, a 6-foot-9 lefty out of Scotland Campus Sports in Pennsylvania. UConn expected to make a visit next week.

 

[Son of Robert]

4 star mobile power forward 220lbs from Mali. Inside/outside game.

 

[Ricker]

Listed at #231 in the Composite but caused me to note a couple of other players.

We had high hopes for Ator Majok and Ajou Deng when they came here.
Can you believe the #233 player is Majok Deng!! What are the chances. (no need to compute answer)

I also note Mohamadou Diawara at #199 for another example of the popularity of variations on that name.
Plus, other namesakes, Scottie Pippen, Kenyon Martin, Jamon Kemp (WA state so I'm assuming).

You’d be correct, Jamon Kemp is the son of Shawn Kemp

You'd think a team with Scottie Pippen and Kenyon Martin would be pretty good, but not necessarily.

[FlippinCrazy!]

I’m sure Pitts not happy to see uconn, St. John’s and providence busting the party.

Literally going up against either Pitt, Syracuse, St. John’s, or providence for all the same recruits. Like our chances against those schools!

 

[Jholla2183]

He can jump out of the gym like his dad did.

Hopefully he doesn’t eat like his dad

Keeping tabs on him

 

[TitleTown]

Isn't he pretty much St. Joe's to lose?

He’s gotta be the biggest backup plan ever

He’s gotta be the biggest backup plan ever

Clearly just a backup for us, but he’s pretty good still. ESPN has him 4* and above Wahab, he was Rivals150 for a while, and he’s been productive this summer. He’s right around where Carlton was ranked, but he played a much bigger role in AAU (Carlton was on a much more loaded roster though). As our deepest flier I like him.

The next Hilton Armstrong? Hilton Armstrong, 2002 Power forward - Rivals.com. Coulibaly is ahead of where Hilton was at this stage of high school.

[Hey Adrien!]

Between those two, he's a great fit for Tulane. Sehic profiles better as a stretch-4, Blake Paul graduates in '19 and the other big guys (Ajang and Koka) are projects. He projects right away as a 20 mpg guy as a freshman.

 

[gtcam]

Hopefully this recruiting strategy is just a backup in case any of the top big men targets don't pan out
