So all the sky is falling people thought the staff wouldn't take Oscar Tshiebwe and Drew Timme? Or Kofi and Timme? Come on with the depth in the frontcourt they were always going to try to get two guys. They missed on OT and I don't think anyone would bet on Kofi so clearly they need to keep the stoking the fire on other relationships.

Hopefully Underwood actually goes
ILL in IA
- Iowa City
He wasn't going before because of his knee surgery/replacement right? I can't see why he wouldn't go now.
A dagger from Ward.11/14 is a #wewillwinsday!!!! What could possibly go wrong?
DT is the key. If we can get him, and he seems the most likely of them all, then the rest should fall into place
Jitoboh is the only one I don't see in BU's system. Otherwise 2 of 5 positions are bigs therefore 40% of roster equals 5 players. We will have Bez, Kane, and Higgs assuming no transfers. We need at least 2 bigs to allow development time. No way we would turn down any of the rest even if Timme comes.
Changed schools a few times. Grades possibly an issue.
Believe he moved schools from Cali to Vegas this year.

We say this almost every class. “Get Ayo and the rest will come”. It usually doesn’t play out that way.
Let's be honest- our chances of getting Drew Timme are slim.

Let's be honest- none of us here actually knows anything concrete.
Let’s be honest- concrete is concrete and fluid is fluid.

Let's be honest- concrete is a fluid... until it's not.
Really good looking prospect from Senegal, went to high school in Japan and then went to a University for one year in Japan. He's now at a juco in Daytona Beach. Watch out if you try to look him up - he's not the guy with the same name that went to Ball State.
Dominated Vila/Northwest Florida State College in the Juco Showcase in Orlando 2 weeks ago. Others have found him too, Arkansas and Texas Tech have offered.

UCF beat us like a drum when I saw them play. Just saying.....
Uh, if we lost by more than 10 I'd be shocked, yeah they beat us, but it wasn't some sort lopsided affair. How many players on the active roster were on that team? AJ and Kipper? Not to mention we've changed coaches since then. Conversely, UCF is a sweet 16 caliber team this year. Lots of talent and experience.

I was at the game. It was completely lopsided. The ten point loss was almost twice that as the game progressed.
My only point (to PlayAZ) was that UCF is a good team and plays decent competition.

This is so strange today because they are actually ripping up the old concrete sidewalk and driveway entrances on my street and pouring new.....concrete.
I wonder if those guys know that they have a machine that does that automatically now.

Thanks TC. Looks to be a very good plan B frontcourt option. Super mobile and athletic for a guy his size, good handles, and seems to have a nice stroke from 3.
Eligiblity issues as a result of Senegal to a Japan HS to Daytona State JUCO. But there is another 6'10" PF at Daytona by the name of Kahdim Sy. I've got to believe OA knows about him too if he's been down there so much.
