This kid is from Benin, right? So NIL shouldn’t be a top factor here possibly?
And Benin is next door to Togo, which is where Samson Johnson is from. Hope they both have a lot to talk about. Is Benin's official language French also? I believe it is.This kid is from Benin, right? So NIL shouldn’t be a top factor here possibly?
Yes, another former French colonyAnd Benin is next door to Togo, which is where Samson Johnson is from. Hope they both have a lot to talk about. Is Benin's official language French also? I believe it is.
I assume he'll be just as interested in making money as any other 5 star recruit. Unless I'm missing somethingThis kid is from Benin, right? So NIL shouldn’t be a top factor here possibly?

That's a shame, you've got TogoI haven't Benin there in a while but I believe it is.
It gets back to the thing where non American kids have a harder time getting NIL. Not impossible, but harder. I’d think for that reason it might not be atop the list.I assume he'll be just as interested in making money as any other 5 star recruit. Unless I'm missing something
I think it definitely was harder at one point, but I think schools have figured it out now. We did it for Sanogo and Samson Johnson and seems like all these top European guys coming over are pretty regularly getting $1M+ NIL dealsIt gets back to the thing where non American kids have a harder time getting NIL.

Yep, French. They're a bit like New Hampshire and Vermont, long and narrow and right next to each other.And Benin is next door to Togo, which is where Samson Johnson is from. Hope they both have a lot to talk about. Is Benin's official language French also? I believe it is.
You got no likes because you don't speak the correct language.Tonde, nous serions ravis de vous avoir ici à Storrs.
never would have guessed that. even tho he cant shoot? you'd prefer him over Thomas and Mullins and Reibe?Hell yes. He's my #2 want after Lewis.
I agree with his assessment. the athleticism/motor and potential lockdown defender for 1-4 isnt something that is usually found. If we don't get our 1a guard, plan b is still a 5 star. i dont see a plan b in this class for the freakish athlete this kid is. In Hurley's hands he would be scarynever would have guessed that. even tho he cant shoot? you'd prefer him over Thomas and Mullins and Reibe?

He went 7/19 39% during Peach Jam from 3. He's not a consistent shooter, but he does shoot now. He shot less in early AAU this summer.never would have guessed that. even tho he cant shoot? you'd prefer him over Thomas and Mullins and Reibe?
Dont think we haven’t pulled the trigger per se, if he wanted to commit today we would absolutely take him in a heartbeat. Maybe we haven’t necessarily offered the best NIL package we could yet, but I’m sure it’s in a competitive ballpark already.Tounde can just do too much to not be in our top 3 HS recruits, and it feels like he is ours if we pull the trigger.
