Guess Jordan and Co. had an opponent to scout on TV instead of reaching out to someone like Dembele.
Thank you, Pat Hobbs.
Time to move on Hoops.
But I thought we only wanted Top 100 kids.....??....LOL
I wonder why this is all surfacing so late in the process, not that I'm complaining if we were lucky enough to get him. We've had some pretty good luck with West African players. Being from Mali, he probably speaks French, so perhaps our new coach could contact Malik Kone, from Guinea, who also speaks French, to host him if he should come for a visit. Malik is around, working in the area - I just talked to him the other day in my gym. He seems like a great guy and might well be able to help but I don't know if Pikiell is aware of him still being in the area.
Eh, I like being on the right side of history. Haha.
Gold star for Hoops. Take it to the store...just as good as money.
Coming from Jordan's brother in-law, that means a lot!

Hobbs has a better chance to do that than anyone we've had working for our basketball team in the pastHe has to be convinced that this staff can surround him with high quality players during his years on the banks.
At this late date in recruiting the elite programs have the advantage of cherry picking the best remaining players regardless of the sport.Rutgers has the problem of first impressing recruits by winning without the players to achieve the objective.He has to be convinced that this staff can surround him with high quality players during his years on the banks.
Of course Shu got around this by hiring assistants tied to their 3 core players in Whitehead, Delgado and Carrington in landing a Top 15-20 class in 2014 .He has to be convinced that this staff can surround him with high quality players during his years on the banks.
