Sanogo Feat

[storrsroars]

6 blocks, man he was a beast tonight - too bad he wasn't hitting his % on FTs, would have saved us all the stress of OT but no doubt he was on fire everywhere else. I think he passed out of at least 3 bad situations and had 2 assists as well.

The assist on Whaley's dunk was beautiful and something Adama likely wouldn't have done in December. Appears that Hurley is getting through to him on options.

Felt like watching Emeka again... amazing

When I said this weeks ago I was viciously mocked on this board. I understand that Emeka led us to glory but he had a much better surrounding cast. And Adama just keeps getting better. He stepped up his blocking game.

I was viciously mocked on this board.

I’m shocked! Nothing like that has ever happened on the Boneyard before.

 

[alphasigko]

Only one critique: 6/11 from the charity stripe, although he did make both when it counted the most.

I was thinking the same thing last night. I didn’t think he would be this good this season, but he put in the work in the summer and it shows. He’s playing like a veteran senior. Unfortunately there’s really no place on the NBA for players line him, so I don’t think he’s going anywhere.

 

[Mister P]

His answers certainly say how much he wants to keep learning the game and that he listens to Hurley and the coaches.
He mentions often that Hurley and the coaches tell him to do this or do that and he works on doing those things. He’s confident, works out on his own and he wants the ball.

It was a good coaching plan to have the offense run through Adama this year.

NBA doesn't have a place for 6'8 earthbound, traditional bigs any more. The kid is a hell of player and will Mke a living playing this game, but it won't be in the league.

I'd love to be proven wrong.

While not a high flyer he didn’t look earthbound last night. One thing that doesn’t get mentioned is Adama has amazing endurance for someone his size. Sanogo is proving to be the best big in the BE. I’m looking forward to his matchup with Watson.

 

[djct1999]

Adama can very well be the Big East Player of the Year. If he stays on the floor and UConn meets expectations, name a kid who is better.

 

[F101Voodoo]

I don't think he is. He won't be a high pick until he develops a reliable mid or long-range shot.

Ja !

So Hurley is not a “useless” coach that deserves to be fired every time UCONN looses or gets into a tight game as some here say?

PS ok he is not a Calhoun or coach Szewszewski but ………WTH!

One too many cups of coffee this morning?

IMO he's in a class of his own as a big in the BE. As a SOPHOMORE. A sophomore the age of most freshman, actually. I'm a little biased... but I'm sticking to it.

 

[goskis2018]

What a big pick-up he was late last summer, just when people were beginning to doubt Hurley's ability to reel in a big in he brings in one that has been able to contribute from the get-go. I'm not looking past this year, but taking advantage of this kid's talent next year is going to be crucial. Next year has to be a top ten squad.

 

[elmcityboy]

This off-season (if he comes back which I’m optimistic he will) is going to be interesting.

Expanding his jumper out to the 3 point line will be imperative. But it is also hard to take someone so efficient near the basket, out to the 3 point line.

Was really impressed with his awareness & passing today.

Last play of regulation was trash. That was simply Adama making a play

i haven't seen the replay, but you got martin with a semi-open look at the rim, and adama in position (with enough time) for an offensive rebound put-back. there were four seconds on the clock. not sure how that qualifies as a "trash" play.

the andre jackson inbounds the play before, however...

 

[sdb1989]

Crazy to think that only started playing a few years ago. Sky’s the limit for him

Extra strong, pure, dark, rich, no additives.

 

[DrZzzz]

He is a 4 year player. Look at Kofi Cockburn.

Montrezl Harrell says otherwise. They are the exact same type of player

Appreciate the enthusiasm for our guys... but no, not at all man. Harrell has defensive versatility, speed and perimeter skill that Sanogo isn't sniffing.

Some of the hot takes on here somehow are making it necessary for me to put down a super talented players of ours. Good grief.

 

[elmcityboy]

another stat from twitter for sanogo. rarefied air.

Just look at this video man. They're both 6'8 and beefy and don't shoot 3s, but the similarities don't really go much farther than that. They were both friggin awesome college players. They just don't have much similarity in their playstyle.

It's a shame that Saturday is cancelled, because he had a good shot at conference player of the week. Maybe he still gets it...
