If he can develop an identity on offense this kids athleticism is elite enough that he could play at the next level.

Love Adama's use of "yup" to end most of his answers. Definitely going to employ that on the couch as I watch him create havoc.

Who did Adama compare himself to? Unfortunately I’ve watched the video like 5 times and can’t tell

He said he watches and likes Bam Adebayo from the heat. He’s said Adebayo and Embiid are two guys he models his game after, both are from African descent (Nigerian and Cameroonian).

I think Storrs Central kinda blew it when they didn't ask Adama what his favorite recipies are. The start of the season is screaming up on us and there are only so many oppertunities to stoke the mojo.

Jackson seems smart and a student of the game. That, with his athleticism, is a nice combo.

I feel like Sanogo also speaks French based on his accent, probably better than his English. Always impresses the heck out me how people can have fluency in multiple languages.

I would expect he speaks Bombara or some other old tribal language too. And maybe more. Basically nobody in Mali speaks French as a first language.

Does UConn have classes for ESL students? I'm sure he could benefit getting some credits and working on his pronunciation, fluency, academic vocabulary and all that.

 

[Austin316]

Very articulate young man. Can’t wait to see how all of our freshman do.

Radio French Internationale is one of the most popular networks in Africa. Much of continent uses French as a common language
