Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 5149456, member: 1737"] This is from a November article: "When UConn men’s basketball center Tarris Reed Jr. went looking for ways to refine his play and become a legitimate college basketball force, there’s one player in particular he began studying: Adama Sanogo. This was well before Reed was at UConn. He watched a lot of film of Sanogo last season while at Michigan, usually with Jay Smith, the director of player personnel and development on Juwan Howard's staff. “Now I'm here,” Reed said Tuesday after UConn’s practice at the Werth Champions Center. “Still watching film of him.” Reed is mesmerized by the efficient ways of Sanogo, who led UConn to the 2023 national championship and was the most outstanding player at the Final Four. “He makes the game so simple and it's like, man, I want to do that,” Reed said. “His duck-ins, his jump hooks, his layups, his dunks. Everything was just simplified. If I could get there, I'll be in a great spot. … I can thrive in the role he was put in. I just need to get to that point.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-mens-basketball/article/tarris-reed-dan-hurley-adama-sanogo-uconn-huskies-19911164.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
