Watched Wahab play last night

Thought my boneyard identity got stolen when I first saw the OP, then realized he’s got a space in his SN.

Good post btw, nice to get some info on these guys.

MrP. Sorry. I didn’t realize there was a name so close to the one I chose. Admin. did the right thing changing mine to Mister P

I was able to get to tonight’s game. My unofficial head tracking stats had him at 22 and 9 with a couple of swats. After picking up his second foul with a couple of minutes left in the first quarter the coach sat him (JC style) for the rest of the half. Competition wasn’t as good as when I saw him last weekend. Not much new to report on his play. Needs to use his butt more on offense to seal of his defender.
Unless I missed them there was no sign of any of our staff or any other schools staff which surprised me.

Thanks for the report. No coaches in attendance a few days before he commits seems improbable.

Seems to indicate that he’s already told all the coaches which program he’ll be announcing for on the 30th.

Why is it improbable if he already told them? Totally probable.

I’ll take 2 Josh Boone’s right now or even one. He really evolved and improved thru his career. We desperately need that type of player.

While I love JB and I'd take a player of that caliber in a heartbeat I don't remember him as a player that really evolved and improved thru his career. His freshman year he played a great second fiddle to EO as an ultra athletic run the floor rebounding PF that had some big moments in big games like the BET and FF. Then his sophomore year he came out like gangbusters but slowly faded as the year went on. His junior year it was much of the same skill set he showed in the second half of his sophomore year and ended up getting outplayed by George Mason's midmajor frontcourt in the most disappointing UConn loss of all time.

No worries - looks like they made an additional change

You guys are reading way too much into those blurbs.

Try describing 5 things yourself while intentionally trying not to give away which you like more. You just start saying anything that makes them distinct.

Doesn't mean he is coming here, but that has 0 indication.

Haven’t been keeping up with this thread but got a chuckle out of the last couple of pages.

My system is more bulletproof. It was raining when I read it. Immediately said NEXT!!

Nice ... no ... awesome 1st post. I think he sounds like a Brimah, which was also my thought after seeing his video.

If he's like Brimah, let's hope interior passes to him down low don't go right through his hands. Lol

Actually, I think I was confused. I was thinking of Omoruyi, who seems to be a shot-blocking defender type, likely to be able to catch and finish lobs, but may not have much post-up game or any face-up game initially. Wahab seems a bit more offensively skilled. Either will help.

You stay on your side of the court and I’ll stay on my mine

I think @HawkHusky and I are captains of the rival Boneyard Dodgeball teams and would each need to choose one of each of you for our teams. Who else has a Boneyard "other"?

Went to QWs game last night in Richmond against Trinity Episcopal and sat right behind his bench. My son and I had on our UCONN gear which he saw and looked at us many times. Unofficial head stats had him at 23-13-3-3. Played against 6’-7’ 4*Henry Coleman ( UVA and VT heavy on him ) and 6’-11” Burke Smith ( Ivies and other VA schools looking at him ). Both class of 2020. Coleman is the real deal. Scored from all over the floor.

What I liked...very vocal on offensive posssesions calling for the ball. Nice soft touch from 12’ and in. He looked to score when in the paint with the ball. Made foul shots. He had a baby jump hook shot from 6’ and in that was unstoppable when he had single coverage on him. Contested shots on D when given the chance. Played all 32 minutes and held up well.
Needs work on...beefing up. Not as wide and solid as I thought he would be. Still growing so this can be accomplished. Offensive moves. When he had the ball down low he would always give the left-right-left,etc side shakes trying to get his defender to commit one way or the other. At times, this gave enough time for the guards to drop back down and strip the ball from him or force him to abandon his shot. Coachable. Foot work on D was ok just needs to work a little bit on positioning.
The opposition team was taking mainly perimeter shots so he wasn’t as dominant on D in this game.
I see him as a 4 yr guy with plenty of upside. Not a starter his freshmen year but someone who can get minutes and contribute.
I shook his hand after the game and said “ good game Q. I’ll be watching on the 30th and hoping that you choose the good guys “ as I pointed to my husky shirt. He then grinned.

wishing him luck and pointing to your UCONN shirt is a violation! Smile, but say nothing.!
