Yes

 

[superjohn]

Yes

So we're getting Ngongba too, noice!

Ngongba is going to be a really, really good college player. He's the kind of kid who looks dominant just scoring 11 points because he's 1) so efficient and 2) His man can't leave him on the 3-point line or at the rim... just his presence makes things so much easier for the guards. Doubling or helping anywhere on the floor is a risk for the opposing big.

Next step for Ngongba is going to be continuing to focus on his conditions, strength and diet, and building out his shooting package.

This was my favorite game I've seen from Abraham. Made some good decisions, passed well, defended with energy and effort. Looked like a player.

Ngongba reminds me of a poor man's Elton Brand.

On3 has him listed at 215 lbs., he looks like he's 260 lbs.

Yeah great use of his body and great hands

More recent updates have him at 235/240.

Abraham has a good head on his shoulders/BBIQ.. Knows where he needs to be in flow of game ..Right place/right time kind of player. Not as explosive as Howard but still a plus athlete.. A winner and great teammate. Always good to have guys like him on the roster.

 

[Nebraskan18]

Yes

Wait if this is true… it’s over

 

[Nebraskan18]

So from reading leaves:

Abraham: Decision any day now and 95% confident

Nowell: Decision 7/23 and 65% confidence

Howard: Decision 7/29 and no idea who leads here

Betsey: Decision in the Fall and I’d think we’re in drivers seat but too early to know

Ngongba: things are quiet but might be a package deal with Abraham?

Have to like how things are looking

 

[TheHorde]

Yes

I got roasted for this take. Granted I don’t have the quality of sources Husky99 has. Let’s see if the BY trolls have it in them to challenge Husky99. Lol

Thoughts on VJ Edgecombe??

BY trolls would challenge the weatherman if he said it was raining, while they were standing in the rain

 

[husky429]

Thoughts on VJ Edgecombe??

Best of the bunch. Should be able to pair with any of the other wing recruits because he has a little more 2-guard to his game and the others are 3/4s strictly.

Not much info coming out on him because he plays Adidas.

 

[TheHorde]

This is true. They’d challenge Hurley himself if he was posting under a burner account lmao. And disregard and accept the same information or takes from different posters. Lots and lots of ad hominem arguments and name calling on the boards lately, even more than normal. Sad. But cousins that are taking official visits together I think are more likely than the average recruit to be influenced by what their cousin does. Ngongba would be fantastic to have in national flag red, white, and blue.

Nobody roasted you for this, just said that we should be recruiting each individually since they've said themselves they're not necessarily a package deal. Which I think you know since you've repeatedly said they're not a package deal. Hopefully we can get both

 

[Huskyforlife]

Pretty sure I remember them saying they weren’t a package deal. Unless that changed over time? But I’m assuming not considering Abraham is committing separately from Ngongba.

Correct, which doesn't mean we can't get both or that things have changed and they do want to commit together. But there's very little overlap in who's recruiting them outside of us so I'm skeptical

From here:

“Me and Pat (Isaiah Abraham’s first cousin Patrick Ngongba) have some of the same schools recruiting us, and we’re taking some visits together, but we aren’t trying to go to the same school or anything. It is all based on what happens. We’re both going through the process and if that happens, it happens. But it is not something we are meaning to do.”

 

[Scrutiner]

I've watched a tremendous amount of the Peach Jam. These are the best of the best kids in the country and the best of the best AAU teams in the country. Flagg and Dybantsa are incredible young talents but with the top veteran AAU teams I'm not seeing great teams and great talent. Certainly not like what I've seen in many past years. Some of those NY and NJ teams from the 90's would absolutely murder these teams.

Would you say it's reflective of social media influence? Make things more about self and less about the team?
With sophomore gymnasts making $1M plus per year posting videos of themselves it's probably easy to get caught up in that mindset rather than what most benefits the team.

And sadly more than one would argue its snowing when the temperature was 100 degrees.

I made a comment on another thread where I speculated that we might be able to get both if we got one. I know what I posted and what replies it got. You’re not always right about everything you know.

I'm just saying you have a very fragile ego. Not every back and forth is a roast or personal attack. This one was a personal attack though, so feel free to take offense
