Big with a handle? I'm intrigued.

Looked promising as a freshmen at St. Johns, but stats and minutes declined each year. Anyone know anything about him?

How is Kassoum he visiting here when he’s playing for St. John’s? I’m a little confused

St. John’s forward Kassoum Yakwe is transferring. He’s on track to graduate this summer, so he should be immediately eligible.

So if Hurley nabs Smith and Yakwe he is basically telling us he is really waiting to recruit until 2019 right?

Local mid-majors should be all over Kassoum Yakwe. Would be great in NEC or MAAC. #sjubb

Heard there is/was a lot of dysfunction at St Johns, similar to what we saw at UCONN. More likely a coaching problem than player talent (Yakwe was a 4*).

Sounds like a perfect fit for us then

Yeah, but somehow SJU managed to defeat both Villanova and Duke in consecutive games .

Exactly. They had the talent. That kind of inconsistency is all about coaching.

Yakwe's recruiting profile.
Kassoum Yakwe, Our Savior New American School, Power Forward

4*. Ranked 108. Wont take up a scholarship for 4 years. Perhaps DH can unlock his natural ability. It seems low risk/high reward

This is very clearly Braziller preemptively taking a shot at UConn

Except that was tweeted on April 5th and he had no idea UConn would be interested.

And if that post was you making fun of Braziller, and I didn't pick up on it, then I apologize and F Braziller.

He's basically telling us he's not writing off the 2018-2019 season. That's a good thing right?

Key word “preemptively “. And I do think it was a joke lol

Can both be right? Haha

I didn't realize that tweet was from April 5th, but I think it's possible he could have heard whispers that UConn was interested.

Never trust Braziller, for he is bad.

 

[Kembacity]

looks like the type of guy SMU always torched us with. Yes please, especially since he's a grad transfer

 

[YoungFree]

For sure. I think he is dialed in and knows what he wants to do. I feel he is trying to get enough talent to be better in 2018-2019 but not really looking to make his big impact until the 2019-2020 season. It was what he did at URI and the formula generated success.

Man it would be so nice to have a physical presence in the paint again.

How is he graduating after only two years?

 

[GemParty]

How did he fair in big games this past season?
