Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 4257523, member: 1245"] Kassoum Yakwe was a transfer with a huge impact because of his key role in getting Sanogo's commitment here with Adama not even visiting or seeing the school. I've heard Adama say that he trusted Yakwe from the same homeland and that that was a big part of his recruitment choice. Yakwe gets an improved position on my list for that off the court contribution. 1. Jimmy Foster for most on court impact 2. Chuck A. for most impact potential (Also brought National Champ credentials from KY I recall) 3. Cole - On court impact but with better cast of players than Foster 4. Purvis - Was the first to popularize stepping out of bounds at the arc - now everyone in ncaa does 5. Martin - for great rebounding - (especially of own missed bunnies) 6. Kromah - For best complimentary fit 7. Miller - Steady 8. Gibbs - We needed what he brought - ball handler with a shot 9. Delagrange - loved him in New Haven HS game vs Mark Aguire & Tommy Heinson(sp) coaching 10. Yakwe - Honorary Selection for Off Court Contribution - see above) Aside: I don't view recruits from Jr Colleges etc as 'transfers' ie Selvie & Fredricks, to me a transfer is from another D1 program [/QUOTE]
