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

[UofCT]

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.

I'll give you one more post before I block you.

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

How so? I’m not disagreeing, but I’m just trying to figure out what you meant. Your comment could just mean in terms of program success during his tenure, or it could be a reference to our future ability to recruit big men etc.

FWIW, Bouknight’s impact far outweighed his impact to the seasons he played, in my opinion. It took away the argument that although Connecticut had a rich NBA history, Hurley, did not. James was a great example of the exposure that a top player can get at Connecticut. In a way, he helped make Connecticut cool again.

u've confoosed me with some one who cares bout dat.

He's not going to win it but great step and recognition for him. Hopefully uses it as motivation to try and win it next year although with Donovan coming in may get looked at as a 4 next year and go for malone instead.

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.

You heard it here. Connecticut is cool again. Even my 9 yo granddaughter laughed and said “that’s pretty lame”.

Congrats Adama. They are making you the leading candidate for next season if you remain a 5.

 

[HooperScooper]

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.

Zags higher on the group than you are. Not that I put any credence in his opinion.

Kessler is very overrated imho (and yes I realize he has a ton of blocks this year). The rest of the group is very very strong in terms of college centers. It says a lot about how good sanogo is and he absolutely deserves to be in this group. He is that much of a challenge for opposing teams. Prob not as much as with Tshiebwe and Cockburn yet, but I guarantee our NCAAT matchups are going to lose a lot of sleep trying to figure out how to stop him.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Amazing accomplishment for the kid. His rate of improvement is remarkable. I can't wait to see what he looks like next year. Hilarious to juxtapose this honor with some of the posts on this board as recently as two weeks ago.
