6-8, 220 Class of '19 Karim Coulibaly says he's high on SJU, citing close ties to coaching staff and players. @SCShoops 4 can guard 2-4

Just curious. Do we ever recruit anyone over 6'8 and 240 lbs. all in the same body.
-
Not going to find too many top level HS juniors that are 6'9" & 240+.
6'8 " 220 with almost two years to being a college freshman leaves plenty of time to get bigger

Why do that when you can have a bunch of undersized 6'5-6'7's playing out of position? :)
-
So who is playing out of position?
-
Not a whole lot of good programs recruiting this kid if the scholarship offers on 247 and Rivals are correct but he's top 100 on both sites. Strange

Virginia, Virginia, Tulane, George Washington, Georgetown and Providence,” Coulibaly said of the offers he has amassed.
Coulibaly has already visited Rutgers, and plans to visit St. John’s “soon.”
As for Rutgers, he said, “I like it. The Coach [Steve Pikiell] is nice, he’s a good guy.”
He added: “They tell me to work hard. They want me to come to their school, be a big part of their team, do my thing I used to do. Play hard, keep playing defense, get better every single day.” As for St. John’s, “The same thing.”
He said Abdelmassih texts him to keep track of his grades.
“He say I gotta work had, and pull [my grades] up,” he said.
“I would say St. John’s is the leader right now,” said veteran prep coach Chris Chaney of Scotland.
As for his upside, Chaney added: “Very high upside. Very hard worker. Face-up four that can go inside and outside. Lefty, loves to play. I think this year’s been good for him just because he’s figuring out how to play with other good players so he went to high school [in Maryland], even though they had a couple guys, it was mainly him….He’s still only 16 years old.”

Same Mali connection as Kassoum, Bouki, Cheick Diallo and Mamadou Doucoure.
-
Always nice to read a coach quote saying were leader at this point, but the downer moment was the kid's quote saying he needs to pull his grades up...
-
A top 70 kid to boot. It would be good to soon close on Coulibaly.
