Singare in the portal

[Fishy]

Someone is going to get an amazing kid.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Youssouf made genuine in-game contributions to help us win multiple games this year. I was not expecting that before the season started, frankly. So thank you very much to this great kid and best of luck. Would love to see him go be a force at CCSU!

 

[Icehawk]

Not surprised really, I don’t think he was ever going to crack the rotation unfortunately. I thought he looked like he should eventually but c’est la vie. Hope he gets playing time wherever he lands.

 

[ctbro1999]

Was thinking he could become a late bloomer like Hilton Armstrong.

This one hurts the most so far, he seemed like an awesome kid that all his teammates loved. Never underestimate a glue guy.

 

[Marat]

Not surprising again. Good luck to YS. I have a feeling more to come - but probably also not surprising .....

 

[Gutter King]

The days are dwindling for the era of having 4 year program players. I don't like this, but completely understand it. Thanks Youssouf!

He would absolutely dominate a league like the one Central CT is in.

Honestly wouldn't be shocked if he landed at Grand Canyon. They seem to love getting players from P5 conference teams that either didn't play much or severely underperformed.

Best of luck to NATIONAL CHAMPION Youssouf Singare!

 

[Ctedgeman]

He gave us some pretty good minutes against Texas and Gonzaga while the bigs were in early foul trouble. Definitely helped secure those big wins after the disaster in Maui. His attitude always seemed great despite the lack of playing time.

I certainly can't blame him for wanting to go some place where he can get on the court.

 

[KembaRunner]

My 9 year old son has managed to meet him 3 separate times and he was AWESOME. Hope he ends up somewhere local so we can track his progress.

 

[BRS24]

I thought he'd be Samson's replacement ... damm.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Singare seems like an awesome dude and his energy/skill/size/heart made him a major asset battling with Samson, Reed and Clingan in practice.

Wishing him best of luck at his next spot.

 

[ctbro1999]

In the numbers game, this makes it more probable Reed, Jr is staying?

 

[B1GEast]

Best of luck to the young man. I hope he does well whenever he lands.

 

[LIuconn]

Can't fault him for wanting to play. Good luck

 

[Austin316]

Damn. Best of luck Yousef.

 

[mauconnfan]

Great kid and teammate easy to see. Best of luck to this young man!

 

[UC0NN]

Best of luck!

Love those break glass in case of emergency type bigs that come here, help the team every day in practice, and then wait their time for those few games when they’re needed (with an absolutely great attitude the whole time). He took advantage of those minutes this year and did everything asked of him but I don’t fault him at all for wanting a bigger role. Good luck to him!

In this new world, it'll be rarer than rare the #3 big is in their third year with a program.

I get it. There’s a ton of value in these guys coming to a big time program, getting the best coaching, and playing against the best competition every day, but ultimately these guys are competitive and want to play. I actually love the transfer portal for guys like Singare and these situations, as much as it is nice as a fan to have a Singare type in the program longer term.

He deserves some PT. Best choice for everyone involved. He's got the physicals to make a name somewhere.

 

[aboogieee]

"Cash App!"

 

[djct1999]

Some kids make it easy to root for no matter where they end up. This kid is one of them. Best of luck YS!

lol okay

 

[PNolanFan]

I do feel like we def need a dept big now. Another guy who may be a role player in a lower conference who wants to go into coaching some day. I do however feel good about the center position provided we have Reed and Reibe... just need a third big who can come in when needed due to injury or foul trouble. Really could use a phil nolan type

This is how they should be using scholarships 11-13 (or 15 or whatever it is). See if you can get a raw freshman to buy in for two years and evaluate afterwards.

I think the conversation after this season was pretty straight forward. I have a hard time believing anyone would be comfortable going into the year with him as THE backup center. And I don't think he wants to be third string. Hope he can latch on somewhere for two years.
