God bless YouTubeTV….I don’t know how long it saves recordings, but if you recorded UConn hoop this year, the LeMoyne game is still there waiting for you.
On Koroma’s size…205 makes more sense to me now. He’s not that big; smaller in all dimensions than Alex and Stewie. Not as tall, smaller frame. If Stewie goes 215, 205 looks right. Gets everything out of his 205 pounds though.
But I know why people think he looks bigger…for some reason, he seems to expand or shrink depending on who’s next to him. He was guarding Samson and, eh, he looked close to that size. Then he guarded Solo and he kinda looked the same size. And then he defended Aidan and he looked Aidan-sized. He might be a witch - we’ll need to keep an eye out for shape shifting.
Wasn’t great on defense, but we definitely have worse. Alex absolutely put him on roller skates once and Hassan kinda walked him down for another basket. Flip side, they were asking him to guard Alex, Samson, Tarris, Stewie, Solo, etc., etc. at various times - it’s LeMoyne vs UConn, so the dam breaks pretty often and he was probably trying to plug too many holes. On the basket where Hassan walked him back, I think he was worried about a cutter behind him and he kept retreating until Hassan decided he was close enough to just drop the ball in
Offensively - scored nine of their first 13. Two put backs, shook free for an easy basket and a three. He definitely hunts the offensive glass. Got an inbound and murdered our press with an outlet pass. LeMoyne’s offense last year was actually kinda pretty - he cut us up a few times inside out. Also he was the guy who gathered the rest of the team up for huddles - a take charge type, in a good way. He knows what he’s doing; he’ll pick up the offense here quickly.
I like him. I don’t think we’re gonna see tons and tons of him - as a guy who really does most of his scoring around the basket, he’s probably two inches and 20 pounds short of where he needs to be in the Big East. He fouls a lot and he’s a terrible free throw shooter. (At 6’6”, he shot 71% from the field and 47% from the free throw line last year….ah, wow.) But he looks like what I thought he might be - a really versatile practice player who will embarrass some first team guys occasionally and a guy we can put on the court in a pinch and we won’t have to close our eyes in fear of what he might do.
For our last scholarships, I am still recommending offering one to the son of a Russian oligarch - we must be creative in these days of NIL. If Gampel Pavilion has to become Gazprom Pavilion, let’s do it. And, also, we kidnap Singare from High Point. We really need a Singare-type and Singare has that Singariness in bushels and bushels.
