Mamoudou Diarra

[AntG168]

Chillious already on the prowl

 

[Kembacity]

should we not, just to avoid confusion??

If people had a hard time with Donnie and Donyell, this will be all kinds of mixed up

 

[superjohn]

Another big man project.

 

[JMick]

yes pls. for the lulz.

 

[chevtheman]

Heard this very well may happen..

 

[Stainmaster]

We need bodies. It can't hurt to give him a look (look as in "go over his tape, make a few phone calls," not "offer him right now, enroll him, and hope he pans out").

 

[HuskyBoi]

we can avoid foul trouble by swapping them jerseys at half considering our boys are foul machines.

 

[JMick]

Is he a 3 or a 4? He's listed as a SF

 

[Jaker]

OK, so we don't want to pick up a kid because his name will cause confusion with another player?? LMAO

I only want him because his name is almost as exactly the same as someone else's.

I was thinking the same thing. Lol

 

[Jaker]

It will be D1 and D2, we will decide which is which when we see how they play.

so you want to call a guy whose last name is Diarra, "number 2"? I'm in

 

[Mr. French]

How is this possible? I'm even more confused than normal...

Since I have decided to go full blown optimist at the moment, I will point out that Washington has a recent history of spotting undervalued talent. Chillious at work? IDK. He was the guy, as @James pointed out, that first spotted future top 2 pick Fultz playing JV and said he would be an All Star if he grew. Guys like Murray and Chriss last year were Vance Jackson tier recruits and ended up being 1 and done 1st rounders. I think most services had them between 45-55 and Vance was in the 70's or so. And yea, we need bodies. This guy is more of a Carlton tier recruit but I will be interested in following this development.

If this Chillious guy can recruit like Calipari up in this biotch, that would be insane.

We don't even need that. We just need him to make sure we don't miss on the next Bonzie Colson, Bruce Brown, Tyrique Jones, etc. If we can sprinkle in the occasional Markelle Fultz that'd be nice, but I'm more interested in getting the right 4-stars than in overloading on 5-stars.

I just want to overload on stars, period.

Got to get him.

We can have a Diarra duel!

No ! UConn has two Diarras?
No Verne that was Mamadou who scored not Mamoudou. Verne's reply "Well they both have diarrhea so who cares.

What's up with us and African players? I don't mean African-American, I mean African. They're always projects that first picked up a basketball three years ago but have immeasurable 'upside' that never amount to anything. There are plenty of good players in the US that have played ball since they were five years old. Let's go gets one of them.

It will be D1 and D2, we will decide which is which when we see how they play.

Or which one's knees aren't being iced down...
