Sanogo on the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year award watchlist

[awfuldan]

In great company here. Gonna be a tough award to win this year.

I know he has some work to do, as does the rest of the team and coaching staff, but man, it can’t be said enough how awesome our staff is for recruiting, signing, and developing him.

He may end up having a more long-term impact on the program than Bouk imo

Tsheibwe is having a monster year

 

[Husky68]

I thought the young kid was the center for Gonzaga.

 

[awfuldan]

Sanogo makes the Final 5. Pretty remarkable accomplishment, considering the talent at the Center position this year.

 

[bendm]

if he learns to pass out of double teams it's his to win next year

Impressive as hell, and well deserved.

 

[kansashusky]

Great honor for Adama, and yet another talking point the staff can point to when talking with recruits. These type of things matter and move the needle with high school kids.

 

[awfuldan]

Per Borges, Sanogo wasn't on the Pre-season Center of the Year watchlist of 20 players. Makes sense I guess, but pretty wild to see how far Adama has come this year. And we all know that he can get better too.

that's it?!?! that's the list for 'best in the land at center????'
count me as highly unimpressed, tho i fully expect the tv to tell me, ad nauseum and during tourney times, how 'can't miss' their futures are.
yikes.
and no chet? i guess becuz they can't figger out if he's a center, forward, or guard. if he was on my team, he'd sure be the center of the offense, whatever label they hung on him.
timme is gillespie smart, oscar is constantly beastin, and walker has draft spurtability. that's all i got.
let's go adama!

No Kalkbrenner!!

Not sure if you’re joking but of the 4 other Finalists for this award, 3 are sure-fire All-Americans and the 4th is gonna win National DPOY.

hey! i thought this before i saw the final five! getting 4 out of 5 correct should get me some kind of prize here!
fork it over. 20s and fiddys are always nice.

not joking, and not impressed. it's called the Kareem prize - u see any kareems, or potential kareems in this group?
i don't.
let's go adama! this deal is like cherry pie sitting on an open window.
snatch it!
and earlier today, i noted that 'im not so sure that adama will be coming back....'
since then, well, Exhibit A 'center of the year watchlist.'
imagine that!

 

[elmcityboy]

could you make the argument that sanogo is the best two-way player on that list? obviously kessler is leading the nation in blocks and tshiebwe is a beast on the boards, but sanogo can holds in both of those categories despite making his hay mostly on the offensive side of the ball.

I think he already has in terms of everything he has contributed to the success of the team; especially his work ethic. Looking forward to his contribution in the Big East Tournament and Big Dance.

i don't.

That's just a weird statement to try to prove your point. On so many levels.

weird? hardly.





oh look! since my earlier jibberjabber here, they've announced that ol chetster is on the beastly forward list. i guess that they decided to label him as a '4.' still wrong but ok. nice to see the luv.
that was fast.

So you're trying to compare any of these guys to the greatest, and if not the greatest then top 2 or 3, center in the history of basketball? Name me 1 center who has come out of college in the last 20 years who you would compare to Jabbar? You can be unimpressed with the centers on the list but don't use that statement to try to prove it. That is all.

Sanogo makes the Final 5. Pretty remarkable accomplishment, considering the talent at the Center position this year.

Apparently they don't know about the Sanogo issue

I wan't to smoke what this guy has please.

If we win a couple games in the NCAAT I'll agree with you. Hard to compare at this point without both of them having finished their sophomore season. Bouk boosting our clout by getting drafted trumps Sanogo's contributions at this point.
