Believe what you want, I honestly don't care. Just passing along information told to me and yes they are a insider
Ousmane Ndaye
- Thread starter Buckwheat Otay Is Dead
- Start date
He doesn't know anything about him either. He's better simply because he committed. Then when he doesn't meet their crazy expectations they'll turn on him too
Herman Munster had a great skyhook but the movies paid more$$$$$
He had 14 blocks in 26 games
Anno and negative uk "fans" who aren't fans crying they want more bad news
He entered the draft in 2022 at 18 and again in 2025. Pulled out the first time and not selected the second but had developed his jumper and shooting since then. Late first round potential if he performs. More upside than Freeman IMO.
IDK about that. Even if he lands a stud SF, he has to make at least the S16 to do that IMO
Could be our 4 except against SEC and above competition it’s not gonna be too often we’d be safe giving him extended minutes at the four without a body at the 5 that Pope doesn’t even have on the radar. At this point cost-benefit is mostly that you play him at the five situationally with a McBride or something at least when the game is on the line. We’ll do what we have to especially if he’s the last post piece which isn’t smart but wouldn’t be too surprising. But alongside a McBride or dare we hope Momcilovic this guy could really do some damage so I hope we try to grab at least a bit of that.
For anybody curious here, is a really in depth scouting report on him from a little less than a year ago. He did improve his stats quite a bit with more playing time this past year with the caveat that it was in a slightly less prestigious league than he had previously been in, but if he’s going the college route instead of catching on somewhere in the NBA at 22 years old, I’m going to assume he’s still fairly raw.
I think this is a good gamble for us. His physical tools give him a much higher ceiling than any of the remaining domestic options at the 4 spot. I would just caution against expecting him to be a game changer from day 1. He is still considered a work in progress, and the NCAA style game usually takes a little getting used to for guys coming in from Europe.

I wondered about highlight reels too, thought I would check out Mo Ds, wanted to compare how his looked. Not very impressive at all, unless you’re into layups by a 6’7 player. This guy should be an upgrade in all areas.

If he struggles in the SEC and doesn’t make atleast a Final Four, I could see him getting canned.
Three straight years of mediocre results in the SEC is a bad look.
I'd like that, and top 4 SEC. Well, I'd like much more. But that would make it hard for the administration to fire him.

He’s been all over YOU TUBE for 2 days & several Ky podcasters said -GO GET THIS GUY.
There is information beyond KSR & RUPP RAFTERS.
Yeah, we don't have a prayer of getting this guy
Yeah, you right, you definitely ri… .oops
W
We just did pal
That's such bs on your part to even post something like that, you are the dummy!
He averaged 0.5 blocks per game in 27 minutes this season. Had decent, not great rebounding numbers (6.7/game). He might be a nice player but I'm afraid our ceiling is going to be "2026 team level talent but the pieces fit better and we don't have multiple games where we totally collapse." We'll have better creators. We may be weak shooting again. I've never been one of the "we're going to start an OVC level roster, we're going to go to the NIT, we're going to lose 15-20 games" doomers but unless we land Stokes or pull off a Miracle with Momsilovic, "pretty good" might be the best to hope for. And pretty good isn't good enough. Pope's got to show he can land ELITE talent, that you need at least one or two of to go from "pretty good" to real contender. And he's got to show he can coach to that level. And he's running out of time.
so, you need someone to explain what your own eyes can see?
The guy is 6'11" with a 7'3" wing span and moves like a small forward.
I mean, do your own homework, the rest of us already did.
I’m going to leave this in-depth scouting report here if anyone is interested.
The short version is that his physical abilities have an NBA ceiling, but his feel for the game and decision making are still very much works in progress. Given the dearth of talent still available in high school or the portal to fill our starting 4 spot, I think that gambling on him is probably still the right choice, but he’s honestly a bit of a wild card and not a guaranteed star. Hopefully something clicks and he performs at a high level for us.

Alright! Now this a serious MFing needle mover! This dude has guard skills with PF size. He;s most definitely talented enough to start at Kentucky, or anywhere else. Dude is oozing with pro potential. Hell, he's already a pro where he comes from. Pope totally pulled a rabbit out of the hat with this one.
After watching Illinois last year, this was something I wanted Pope to try. International kids honestly are probably more team oriented these days than American kids. At least young American kids. Would love to sign a couple more quality internationals.
Nobody takes you seriously. Go to your neighbor's house and have a riveting dicussion about Poop.

Wow he signed an actual legit prospect.
The big guy is very fluid,checkout his fadeaway.
