Ousmane Ndaye

[BookofMormon]

Yes it is,This guy is a good get,big time pick up

Part of my Pope needs to go international idea.

These US kids think he's a dope and play the channels. His dopiness, like Underwood, likely translates better with internationals. Underwood is pulling out water pistols in the locker room. US kids are all about social media and doing the cool thing - and that's not playing for Pope. These kids will just be happy to get some bucks to play a sport, buy into the brand.

Sorry this has happened to you. Keep your chin up.

The haters can’t be happy about anything.

 

[Ash Williams]

We didn't all turn against him. That's patently false.

You don't know what patently means.

 

[Cats4321]

That’s our starter. Maybe he doesn’t speak much English and that’s why Pope sealed the deal.

I was actually thinking a couple days ago that Pope might have better luck with foreign players. Really!

 

[BBNinSCar]

You only know UK was going after him because someone told you they were. You have no clue what schools were or were not looking at this guy.

I never heard of this player before today. I can also tell from that clip alone that this kid has talent. He is good sized, quick and has a great looking shot for a 6’11 player. If he’s hungry to learn and grow, we are getting an NBA player.

 

[Ash Williams]

That’s our starter. Maybe he doesn’t speak much English and that’s why Pope sealed the deal.

I see what you did there.

 

[Bungalow Bill]

Man this guy is athletic and long. Jumper looks nice despite shooting only 32% on 3's. We got out stretch 4.

 

[The Nightman2]

A dude no one has ever heard of, a guy no schools (that I can find) have ever tried to pursue and a guy who isn’t even eligible yet.

Way to go Pope!!!

Surely you realize no foreign players have been ruled eligible right?

 

[BBNinSCar]

He could've signed Herman Munster and you Pope Dopes would be positively giddy.

Huge Munsters fan here. Herman Munster would dominate college basketball. Kentucky would win the National Championship next season.

 

[BlueBloodKyFan72]

Hugo Yimga is the best foreign prospect. Way higher than slim Jesus or Ndiaye. I’d take any of the 3 though.

Hugo is very good I don't see any NBA draft analysis on Ndiaye

 

[UKgrad22]

Maybe this is why McBride left without a commitment, saw the writing on the wall that he’d be a backup

 

[ThePopeMobile]

You people knew literally nothing about this guy an hour ago and now he's getting Nowitski and Bird comparisons. Some of you would convince yourself that just about anyone is a savior. So who else was after this guy?

 

[Padsfs07]

So you are super up to speed on Italy basketball? This dude isn’t even eligible and a guy nobody else was going after.

Forgive me if I don’t praise Pope for this one yet.

Just curious, where do you see that he isn't eligible or wouldn't be after the onslaught of Int'l players in the last few years?

 

[Titpwhahi2014]

He could've signed Herman Munster and you Pope Dopes would be positively giddy.

I’ve been overly critical of Pope ya dunce

Potential, but seems raw ...

Nobody knows anything about anybody, except a few guys they saw play in a couple of games last year. What’s your point dumb ***?

Go cry inside.

 

[ThePopeMobile]

If he is a really good player, Mark Pope will be unable to sign him.

Good call

 

[NociHTTP]

That kid's impressive. Mark ain't done!

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

Just curious, where do you see that he isn't eligible or wouldn't be after the onslaught of Int'l players in the last few years?

one of the guys from KSR already said he has been cleared academically. its just sour puss fans finding a reason to be negative. this is a good pickup.

 

[ThePopeMobile]

LOL at the haters. This is a BIG TIME pickup. Can't wait to read all the "well uh's" or just see people suddenly being "out of pocket" until they get some bad news.

Have you scouted this "big time pickup" or just seen a few YouTube videos. So tell us how you know

 

[CliffHawkinsFan606]

Just so we're on the same page this kid plays in the top Italy league. Much different than comparing tape against Detroit Mercy or some Overtime Elite high school game. Some of the better American players over there right now are Carsen Edwards, Nico Mannion, and Denzel Valentine. Guys in the prime of their career who have all played in the NBA. For reference Nate Sestina averages 3 points a game in that league. This kid led his team in rebounds, 2nd in minutes, and 3rd in points.

This is a long athletic 4 who rebounds, defends and can shoot. There are holes in his game, otherwise he'd already be in the NBA, but I see 0 reason we shouldn't be excited about this addition. He's better than Jelavic and much more skilled than Dioubate.

Just my opinion, but not the time for doom and gloom

 

[Padsfs07]

Quinn Ellis, the British PG that went to St Johns averaged 8.4 in this league and N'Diaye got 10.3 so he's around the same level it seems.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

Spot shooter good. Way less athletic than Slim Jesus and even less than Ndaye. Played against inferior competition. So not the best foreign But a good spot shooter. He could complement MCbride but would not be as explosive as Slim Jesus.

Not just a spot up shooter, he can create his own.

 

[BBNUK4Life]

Pope supposedly paid $4.3 million. That's what I was told. If so, he's dumber than I thought

 

[Padsfs07]

I would really like McBride to finish out the frontcourt still, then go hard for Stokes, Tounde, or Momcilovic.

 

[Anon1752779924]

Well he’s not a kid, he’s 22, so there’s that.

We are old. Anybody too young to rent a car or run for the House of Representatives is totally a kid.

Go find a Poop or Dope thread to dance in. That's more your speed as you are hiding under a new account. Good luck stomping out optimism from sane people here today. You'll have your work cut out for you.

 

[SenseMaker_Cats]

You freaking moron. How pathetically stupid are you? I was talking about that one fade away move. Good lord this place is getting dumber by the day.

 

[BellyBall]

Kid looks legit but everybody's highlight reel looks amazing. First recruit in a while that I'm excited for.

 

[Bluegrass79]

This guy passes the look test. Needed badly.


Would have been a starter this year. Guaranteed.
Maybe even a starter over Andrew Carr....close battle.

 

[ThePopeMobile]

Go find a Poop or Dope thread to dance in. That's more your style. Good luck stomping out optimism from same people here today. You'll have your work cut out for you.

So you won't answer Why you think this is a "big time pickup"?

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

Ignore

 

[Monday Nitro]

New account for you, started today, because you are too embarrassed to use your real one. Your clown show is delicious.

 

[UKFootball78]

A dude no one has ever heard of, a guy no schools (that I can find) have ever tried to pursue and a guy who isn’t even eligible yet.

Way to go Pope!!!

There's the negative spin. Took you long enough

 

[exo6desmo]

This is more like it. Striking out on portal scrubs. Screw that. Go get some more guys like this.

 

[RedwoodHigh]

Don’t believe it for a second. Gotta be fake.

now we got a team⭐️

 

[ThePopeMobile]

You freaking moron. How pathetically stupid are you? I was talking about that one fade away move. Good lord this place is getting dumber by the day.

Because you idiots spout out such nonsense on a regular basis. Dope

 

[FLBBNFAN]

Your insane.
Diallo, Wilkins, Stokes/Momcilovic, Ndaye, Moreno
Show me the 8 starting 5s that we can't match up with. Ill wait

That is a really solid pickup for us. Have to give credit where its due . Well done by the staff.
