I am Sooo excited to read this !!!!
Welcome, Samba. My goodness, how we need you and how we will exalt you.
Welcome again, in case I didn't say that before.

Edit: Just realized that I am so late to the party that it might not be apparent that I'm excited to see Kane's commitment.

Of the 10,834 International students (Undergrad, Master's & Doctoral), Kane would have been the only undergrad from Senegal this year.

Sort of interesting, in an "if you throw enought stats out there, one of them will be really weird" sort of way.

Final Belleville West 67 Moline 47
Liddell with 16 in 3 quarters. 3-3 from 3, 3-4 from the line, 2-4 from the field. 5 blocks. Smooth, powerful, plays under control. A starter for someone when he gets to college.

If Black is gone, I actually think this opens a new dialogue with Jones this weekend. I mean really, with Leron leaving us, minutes are readily available. More than they would have been before for sure.

I think it clears the path for Trice commitment, and also makes us appealing to Ramey as well. The court will be wide open and the playing time will be wide open as well imo.

Black leaving should really clear a path for the most popular grad transfers discussed on here: Caroline or Cunningham, especially if Trice is truly going to wait 'til April 11th. I actually think we may take Trice + grad transfer because I don't expect Matic back either.
In addition to Caroline, Cunningham, Walker, here are some other possible big men grad transfers:
Raasean Davis - NC Central (from Chicago) avg 15 & 8
Femi Olujobi - NC A&T - 16 & 8
Cameron Jackson - Wofford - 12 & 6
Christian Mekowulu - Tenn St - 13 & 8
Eric Carter - Delaware - 11 & 9

Cunningham is not a graduate. People need to stop talking about him.

Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering which of the Sambas you were talking about...

How does Liddell compare to Draymond Green? His stats and height sound like Draymond. It's rare to see a 6'7" guy getting as many blocks as he does yet still able to drain threes.
