Ngongba Visiting October 13th (First Night)

Ngongba is reposting pics of his UConn visit on his instagram story lol. Safe to say he wasn’t all that impressed last night at Crazyness

From interviews, he doesn't seem like the kind of kid to really care about those events. Lives, eats and breathes basketball. Almost like he'd be balling somewhere even if he hadn't happened to get good enough that 10,000+ people are willing to watch him play.

I would think he (and especially his parents) would be more interested in competitiveness and development in practices.
 
We think Ngongba loved his visit here, feels connected to the program with his cousin, etc. He is at the evil empire, but all the posts I read here seem to assume its us or Duke. When did his close relationship with the Kansas St staff disappear from the equation? Is that just assumed?

Kansas State is still a threat from all I have heard on this board. I think it's just Duke chatter because he's on their campus now. No big conspiracy.
 
Never really been out that way.. but I don’t see how a place like Kansas is attractive at all to a young kid

Not even Kansas. Kansas State. If he chooses them over us then he’ll be playing in China in 4 years.

Unless it’s to get substantially more money up front, it would be a strange choice. But it’s his choice to make whatever decision he wants.

Then maybe you should go. There’s certainly more going on in Manhattan, KS than in Storrs, CT and way more going on in Lawrence, KS than either place. That said, K-State certainly doesn’t normally get recruits like him.

Hope he chooses UConn and if not, K-State rather than Duke.
 
A few factors people seem to neglect about Kansas State. One of their assistants is a family friend and has known Patrick since he was a child. As a result of this relationship Kansas State was on him well before everyone else and before he really blew up. I agree that us or one of his other options would be more advantageous, but if he chooses Kansas State it’s not that outlandish a decision.

I heard Tang and his mom grew up on the same island which could mean a lot. Also Tang seems like an honest trust worthy guy and a good coach. Me personally I would tell mommy, I respectfully decline lol.

Gotta think we aren't. Scheduled 5 OVs and didn't include UConn.

If he waits to sign until the spring maybe UConn gets a shot. But if he's signing in the fall then it doesn't sound good for the Huskies. But none of us know what's going on behind the scenes. Recruiting being fluid and all. Watch him announce this week that he's scheduling an official visit to UConn. :)

Kimani was at LuHi recently to watch VJ and some of his teammates.

Not sure where VJ is at in his recruitment other than he canceled his Michigan visit recently and there's talk on Twitter that if Rick Pitino is able to sway Ian Jackson from UNC, maybe St. Johns could get a commitment from VJ.
