That video is actually well done. Welcome

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Welcome Abroad. This Guy has a solid body, should be able to play physical and fast against Sanders in practice to help them both improve.


“We are very excited to have Souf join the Rutgers family,” said Pikiell. “We are adding another high-character individual who instantly improves our overall speed and athleticism. Souf is a guy who makes everyone around him better from the lead guard position and he is someone who plays extremely hard for every single possession, on both sides of the floor.

He has a nice body..looks very strong. Welcome!

Instantly the best passer on the team

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Instantly the best passer on the team

Let's see him play 1st in D1 basketball before making that claim. next year in his 2nd year Eugene could be a better a passer than Souf in Year 1.

Well it's his strength, and I certainly wouldn't call it the strength of anyone else on the roster

It was his strength against JUCO opponents, and lackluster defenses. We hope it can continue to be against D1 opponents.

95 assists, 77 turnovers at Marshalltown. Let's all calm down.

95 assists, 77 turnovers at Marshalltown. Let's all calm down.

Because none of that has to do with the fact that instead of passing to d1 basketball players who know what the hell they're doing, he was passing to a bunch of nobodies. After what pikiell did with this ragtag roster and having three former guards on the coaching staff evaluating souf as a prospect..I'm not worried that he'll be a good passer here.

 

[RAA-1]

Welcome to your new FAMILY.

 

[RUsince52]

No matter, we have to be a better team with him than without him. Let's give him a chance and our support.

 

[HeyHuey]

He certainly can go to his left.

I was not aware that Mensah has played in the CBA with Issa Thiam. I am not sure if Mensah will have 20mpg, but the minutes he is in I think will have an impact. Sanders is more quick off the dribble, and has more experience at this level.He will certainly be made better by having Mensah around.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I don't see a major role for Sanders with the ball not in his hands. Could be wrong, but I expect Souf to play 10 MPG. Obviously need to see him play to have more confidence.

I would expect more like 15 MPG for Souf

 

[higgins3]

We will know more in the upcoming weeks. I agree though, GRF. Sanders is the point guard. Coach Pikiell will be telling Sanders what he wants, and if he doesn't get it, I would not be surprised to see something else.

That should be exactly what Sanders wants. The next level for Sanders is there, but he has to transform his game. I am pulling for him.

I hope you are right (without people getting hurt)
