Boubacar Diakite began practicing off and on late in the year. Transfer was a mutual decision with him unlikely to play much this year. Was told hope was for open scholarship to be filled with immediately eligible player. #sjubb

Torn patella tendon. Similiar injury to Victor Cruz. Really feel for this kid. Wish him the best.

Could very well be our last connection to OSNA. Obekpa, Felix, Kassoum and lastly Boukie. Knowing Matt's abilities on the transfer market this move is going to pay off dividends.

Would be nice. From all accounts seems like the one missing piece. I like the team we have add a big who can play right away and look out. Feel for the kid also and hope he lands somewhere he can play and develop.

Get kofi to come a year early

Hire his family, his AAU coaches, his bus driver, I don't care who. This program needs a big signee, asap. Sick of being irrelevant

Jokingly, I was logging on to type the same thing.  That's funny.

I was about to complain about the PPG stats on these players, but realize that it was some form of sabermetic adjusted numbers, that may not equate.

The guy from UMASS had some nice games last year, especially toward the end.  6-10, 255 lb (though he didn't look it in his photo, but I'll believe it).  Originally from the South though, so he might have his heart set on going down there, I don't know.

Encouraging sign. Now they need to close the deal with a big signing.

I feel for the kid and it's hard to really blame the staff for this one. An Abdul Lewis-like guy would be ideal.

Not a good look having so many kids transferring out.
