3 CB's to us in the last 2 hours.
Looking like we'll get him and dixson. Wonder if Malik will be the only other offer

Those two without Malik would be a birdie, those two with Malik is and Eagle and all of the above plus Diamond Stone would be a hole in one
Just to put things into perspective

Ray and howland want Ray, so he obviously must be a good player. That said his stats aren't very good...

Still want him.

Yea and he's only started 7 of 34 games and averages 15 min per game according to that link. What's the story on him, and why is everyone high on him?

Had tons of high-major offers out of high school, had trouble with eligibility and now... Crickets. Was there an injury?

He is a defensive stud. We need a tough guy enforcer in the post, and he would give us that and probably start for us right away next year.

He has some offers. I know UM and Seton Hall want him pretty bad. There are a couple of more, but I'd have to look it up later...

Nice, sounds like he would fill a big need for us. Thanks for the info

Why didn't he start for his juco team? Only 7 starts and only 1 start in conference play
He played well in the NJCAA tournament. Got a lot of offer after that. I think he has a lot of upside plus teams are tying to add a big during the late signing period and he's about all that's left.

In those 15 minutes a game he avg 2.2 blocks a game. 75 on the season. How many blocks did Black get this year? Ray Kosongo has 3 years left like Black. He's an upgrade over Black.

Maybe he's an upgrade. Maybe he's not. I think black played against better competition this year. Dont you?

Idk but they are ranked #8 in the nation and he's a freshman. Ndoye didn't start most of his games in HS either for a top 10 national HS program either and I think it's pretty safe to say Kasongo is an upgrade over both Ndoye and Black.

Kasongo is better than both.

Didn't Newman just start following Kasongo? Kinda random for him to follow a 6 ppg 5 rpg 15 minpg bench player unless there's something else to him/it. How does Newman know him? Potential future teammates already starting to bond it looks like to me. Newman needs a big boy down low.

Yeah malik just followed him.
I wonder if howland told Malik that kasondo is the big man he's recruiting to play with him.

I don't know what his deal is but I know after the tourney MSU, LSU, TN, OM, UNLV, Seton Hall, & Kansas St offered. Also watching his film doesn't match his stats at all.

Might be a message being sent to Kentucky by Howland or I could be reading too much into this.
Kasongo is from Lick Creek, KY.
Dixon is from Bardstown, KY.
Interesting strategy to load up on big athletic Kentucky grown players that have been passed over by Kentucky.

Reading too much into that 1. Dixson is actually from West Virginia just played a couple years in Kentucky. Went back to WV for his Sr year.

Name of the team? List of that roster? Might be seeing some more names from that team.

Not sure if that's possible to pull up an AAU roster from a few years back......maybe somebody can find it

Andy Kennedy is also visiting him Tuesday... This is one of the very few years we're going to actually recruit against UM, since we're trying to piece together some recruits at the end of the process. Kennedy always goes after transfers and JUCOs at the very end.
We need to lock this guy down.

The key to Malik is us signing a big or maybe 2. He wants to make a run in the NCAA, and has told George that he would feel very comfortable if we signed another big. We are looking very good as of tonight.

Hilarious to watch AK try and stay relevant. Does he really think he has a shot at this guy? We have absolutely crushed any momentum they had almost instantly from 1 week ago. Welcome back to your place OM hoops.
