Huge pickup. I hope we can get some positive news on Thiam, then we would have 3 ships left to fill.

ALRIGHT! This is great news to hear. We now have another big guy who can also block shots.

There's already a Dunkin' Donuts on campus. They properly forecast demand.

Fills the need. Good pickup!Shooooes!

 

[rufeelinit]

Nice. Hopefully Thiam is next.

Great News, but, I'm still concerned about how many spots will be open for 2017. Two fifth year players?

 

[knights1212]

I don't think it is big deal even if we get two 5th year grad students. That would leave us at least two scholarships and usually at least one other at least transfers. There is a good chance if Corey returns it might only be for one more year. We must have a few more players for next year in case of injuries. We need to show that we are improving. Even with Bullock and Sa we only have 9 guys at this point for next year. I think we will get at least two more for next season. Maybe we will get Thiam or maybe we won't. Time will tell.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

SWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

 

[Fzacsattac]

Nice! Hopefully Thiam will stop looking and listening to people and sign on the dotted line.

Great pickup because we have not had a shot blocker sinceHamady graduated. Our defense was bad last year but worse because we got abused down low. No more easy layups for the other teams and I can see a blocked shot leading to transition points with Corey and Nigel. This allows are guards and wings to pressure and put more stress on the perimeter hopefully helping our 3 point defense.

Hope we use 2 'ships on the Martin twins

The coachs' name on his parking spot sign is barely dry and already he is addressing a BIG need,,,,,
a big guy ....that can play D..... and score

[RUtrumpet92]

Wow, is this really happening to our basketball program? So much positive momentum!

 

[MusicFreaks]

How in the HELL does RU actually win the recruiting battle against Pitt and Texas?!?!? This is GREAT news from a perception stand point as well as quality of the player stand point. Huge pick up on the perception front.
This gentleman seems to fill a huge need for this team - defense!!! I'm actually getting giddy about Mens BBall in April. This hasn't happened in a long time...since I had a full head of hair (about 15 years ago!!)

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Nice. Welcome to the banks Mr. Sa!

Shoes has been on him for a year. Yes, the same Shoes some people wanted to dump.

 

[RU MAN]

This is very good news. Pikiell and company have done a terrific job thus far. Landing Sa over Texas, Baylor, Pitt and Western Kentucky is a great step forward for the program. Let's keep this going.

Money, it's gotta be the shoes!

His son needs to tone down. You don't need a self promotor as recruiting is a team game.
