Class of 2026 C Abdramane Siby (Mali) COMMITTED TO SYRACUSE (4/15/26)

[Scooch]

He put up better numbers against kids his age. Those were against men. 23-24 year olds. Former NBA draft picks etc.

Sure. He’ll be playing against guys that age and of that skill in the ACC.

 

[kidorange]

He had the ugliest foul shot in the history of Syracuse basketball...so there's that?

 

[Wrinkle]

Oh so I'm the weirdo for calling out you being a constant negative presence on a message board and knocking down people's excitement for a recruit. If anyone is weird here, it is you. I am so glad the mute button is a thing for people like you.

Yes, you do seem to be a weirdo. Constant negative presence? I had nothing but good things to say about Dual and Tobiason

 

[AZOrange]

GMAC is killing it. Love the international focus

You have a great day granthath9 !!!

Nile vs Givony who you got? Also I get what Nile is trying to hint at but with overseas bigs you have to get them stateside and plugged in working with them first. Especially with bigs and jumping up into the ABA at 19 these advanced percentages over 13 mpg aren’t a big concern. We’ve seen what projects look like. Redshirt guys typically are extremely uncoordinated and don’t move very well.

Nile vs Givony who you got?

Givony 10/10 times.

Are you suggesting the Louisville method?

 

[anglerman]

All the clips are of him dunking

No they’re not

 

[BillSU]

An absolute zero on offense

Google his name and watch his film before you call him an absolute zero on offense thumbs down group/you probably have determined he isn't athletic either.

They like to complain about every addition. Just move on.

 

[BillSU]

Dude covers some ground quick that's for sure.

Absolutely/he can pass the ball, dunk, block shots, wow what a concept! - don't judge if you don't know what you're talking about or have a negative opinion in the first place/Gerry's choice!

I once saw a Christ Essandoko highlight video that made me want to annoint him as the next Hakeem Olajuwan. That said, I like the pickup. Does anyone know where SU stands in terms of available NIL funds spent so far? I understand there's no way of truly knowing, but do we have any estimates?

I'm curious because I think SU still needs another center and potentially, another PG. Not selling Dual short either as he was better ly than any SU player was ly and offensively, he was better than the whole team, other than Kingz and George. He actually does get to the basket and he makes his free thows too. I'm fine with Dual as the starting PG btw. Would still like another game ready backup as I believe Moesch will need time to get stronger and improve his ability to stay in front of P-5 PG's.

 

[Hopkins16]

We’ve locked in 9 players so far but still need a starting center and point guard.

 

[Cuse2023]

I would really temper expectations with this one.

The staff does not even expect much in year one for Siby.

This is definitely not our staring center. We should have another center on the way soon.

 

[MSOrange]

His tape is impressive. Fluid, good feet, vision and is very coordinated. Great get and i think he starts

Excited about his potential, but I don't think it's good news if he's the starter this year.

I did watch some film on him before posting. I also admitted that I exaggerated and said I was wrong. Everyone calmmmmm down

Appreciate the updates as always. Still like the move especially with a big man coach like AO.

Any thoughts on Folefac or if we are done at PG or still possibilities?

 

[crv1728]

No squirrels til page 6? I’ve been looking for for them for a while now.

 

[RedtheGOB]

We could’ve really used him more last year to teach our shooting guards how to make Free Throws.
