When this staff wants a guy they are unstoppable.

Truly elite level recruiters at both courting and identifying talent. Calhoun level skills and I don't even think Calhoun made it look as easy as this staff does.

Wouldn't be surprised to see us lock both these guys up.
 
Patrick Ngongba, PVI
Ngongba has been one of the hottest names in the class this spring. After recovering from injury and sliming down, Ngongba is now considered one of the top bigs in the class and he backed that up over the weekend. Ngongba was able to switch onto smaller players defensively, use his body to carve out space in the paint, rebound, and use his soft touch around the rim which has all contributed to his big jump in the national rankings. When it comes to where his recruitment stands and who came out to see him, he garnered attention from multiple head coaches and staffs. Duke head coach Jon Scheyer and two assistants, Virginia’s head coach Tony Bennett, Kansas State head coach Jerome Tang and two assistants, Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery, UConn head coach Dan Hurley and an assistant, Kansas assistant Norm Roberts among others were in attendance for the prized big man.

Also, Hurley reshared this post on his own personal instagram. The first one of these official visit posts he’s done that for. Maybe a sign?

Looking at his instagram, every school he visited seems to do similar photo shoots and some videos too. Another also had a VI flag. Seems like a bit cookie cutter to me. What’s more important is the comments we hear and expertise they had.
 
I don’t want him to win this recruiting battle (obviously), but Tang’s success so far is great to see. He probably earned a head coaching job years ago, but it never happened for him. He finally got his chance and is killing it.
 

6. Four-star C Patrick Ngongba​

Down the stretch of a close game, Patrick Ngonba was at his best. Team Takeover was able to go to the 6-foot-10 center on the block and know that something would happen.

Ngonba has a strong frame with great length and very soft touch and hands. In the second half of the game, Ngongba showed comfort going over his left and right shoulder. When his go-to move would get cut off, he showed he was comfortable with his counters to get the look.

Ngongba finished with a team-high 12 points. While that number may not be super-impressive, the timing of his makes were. The No. 36 player in the 2024 On3 150finished 6-for-8 from the field and also added 8 rebounds.

He sounds like he’d be great for us. Any word on the street about where he’s leaning?

K- State is pushing very hard for him...

The Kansas State purple VI tshirts are a nice touch. Recruiting is weird- good on them for working any connection you can.

I suspect all the teams that want him are pushing hard. He is a top recruit.

Manhattan, KS.is hardly a destination location.

I mean, neither is Storrs, CT. There's more going on in Manhattan, KS. There are other reasons why UConn should win out here. Hope we can get him. I think he looks like an ideal big for Hurley's system.

They are really struggling for NIL money right now. They have missed on some top transfers, so they are really going for broke on the 24' class. Tang has a really strong relationship with the family and Patrick, but doesnt have the ability to point to developing big men like Dan has recently. I think Isaiah is really key here.

Should have been clearer. I wasn't referring to the physical geography of Manhattan. Was being more pithy about their basketball history -- which is decent but not UConn level.

On that front there is definitely NO comparison

Found a picture of them!



His mom recently coached her Virgin Islands’ team to the gold in the Central American and Caribbean Games. That’s the tournament most of the family went to right after their UConn visit.

Storrs is about an hour and a half from Boston. K State is about an hour and a half from Cottonwood Falls.
