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").

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!
Who can do the dew better!
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.

Thabeet and Okafor totally sucked.
 
Some scouting info from 247!

With all of the talent that the Huskies are bringing in, Mamoudou Diarra, who played for the Gateway on the Adidas Gauntlet circuit, plans on bringing the Huskies "a different dimension. I can play four different spots on the court." Coach Scott Schroepfer added, "His strengths are his motor and his versatility. He can play the wing. He played the three and the four for us. He's got great lateral quickness, a 7'2" wingspan, and he's athletic. His areas for improvement are his perimeter shooting, which is getting better. His passing is getting better. His defensive motor has gone from a two to a twelve. The lights come on and he's just ready to play both ends of the floor."

Okafor was born in the US. Bad example. Thabeet was a project who was a great shot blocker who sucked offensively. Even after several years he still brought the ball down where little guys could steal it instead of going up strong. Drove me crazy. Is he still playing?
