Surprised that he's a SF. Thought he was PF.

 

[superjohn]

He's a power forward, very strong and he dunks everything. This kid seems very underrated to me.

 

[HuskyBballFan]

He's no SF

 

[3uconn]

Yea sorry about that he is a PF. Messed up. Had him listed as a PF in my Weekly Update.

 

[mauconnfan]

Definitely a PF.......nice athlete good size already........a couple different video's on him show some nice potential! Here's one against a smaller team in HS tourney:

 

[caw]

A bit raw, but very athletic.

 

[uchusky32]

Man if he turns us down the only one left is Dogmania. Anyone know how big Dog is without shoes?

A little better comp.......after the 2:00 minute mark he shows the ability to put it down with the left hand and run the floor a little later.......runs like Emeka actually!! Raw but like him........

First thing whoever signs him has to do is teach him to keep the ball high when he grabs a rebound - especially an offensive rebound. Bad, bad habit he's got there.

That said, solid fundamentals can be taught. 6-foot-8, 240 lbs with that kind of explosive vertical can not.

Still hope we get Colson, but I wouldn't be unhappy with this Canuck as our consolation prize.

Forget this guy. Anyone who is on twitter, go to his page. He says that Kentucky is his dream school and he just tweeted that he cant wait for Kentucky basketball to start.

Can't make any judgement watching that video. Hell the 2nd biggest person on the court isn't a person it's an afro on #5 in white his teammate.

 

[mauconnfan]

Can't forget about Colson I agree..........hoping he really likes UConn still...

There are still possibilities so all these guys going elsewhere will somehow leave us with "better fit for the Huskies"!!

I was going to say we know he can dominate 5-10 bigs.

You're not looking to see what he does vs a 6'3" white dude rather what his skills are that can fit.......he's big and doesn't demand the ball because he doesn't have to yet, but he's plenty tough and strong enough to learn from what I can see.........

Yes well right now, Kentucky is everyone'$ dream school. They can't land everyone. If this kid ain't a 5-star, Kentucky won't go near him. Unless he waits till spring and his stock explodes.

 

[MCNPA]

I hear Kasongo almost certainly going to stay out west. Oregon maybe? Doubt he comes east.

True he is big and athletic. Not his fault all Canadians are short. Hey! (With a Canadian accent)

 

[Jaybo]

Was he playing against a middle school

 

[boog204]

I'm a big fan of the bearded, mop haired homeless guy he was playing against...

You're forgetting South Tampa Bill

He's a Canadian living with a host family in Kentucky. It'd be strange for him to be a fan of any school other than Kentucky/Louisville

So he's from Toronto and is living in Kentucky....so why is he supposedly "staying out West?" Is KY out west? I must be missing something here. I like his rainbow 3 point shot.....a rainmaker just like Ben
