Class of 2017 C Mohammed Bamba (PA) to Texas

[EastCoast2]

This kid is Anthony Davis 2.0. We missed on Davis, can't miss on Bamba.

No Cuse (or any college) mentions, but a good video and article on Mo...

I'm not a religious guy, but I'd turn the common student athlete response "I'm blessed to have received an offer from the University of Syracuse" ...to..."Syracuse University is blessed to have received commitments from Bamba and Green."

 

[Flacusian]

I can't help but think of Fat Albert muttering "Hey Ba Mamba!" which elicits me imagining hearing a slightly tweaked version of the phrase echoing inside the Dome after a thunderous dunk!
"Hey Mo Bamba!" You Juz got-ba Triple Dubbaya!!!!!

And to that can we get an Amen?

AMEN

Mo prob.

Can you say Bamba on a plane?

 

[HoustonCuse]

What we have here is a fierce, ferocious individual.

This guy could average 99 blocks a game in our zone. And when he gets tired, Chukwu can come in.

Nice interview. On top of "basketball phenom", I think we can add "well spoken, thoughtful young man"...thats nice to see no matter where he ends up.

As has been mentioned, Bamba seems like a very well spoken guy. Sounds fairly humble too for being one of the top guys in his class and a likely one-and-done. With Roberson, Lydon, and Coleman all gone from our frontcourt after next season, it would be incredible to be able to bring Bamba in (with Green, please!!!) to play the 5 with Chukwu and possibly the 4 with Thompson. I have no idea what kind of foot speed Bamba has to cover the wing in the back of the zone. Even though he calls himself a PF, he definitely looks much more like a 5 in our system, granted I haven't seen many of his highlight clips. Here's hoping last weekend's trip with Green was a good one!

Kid can move! Definitely has good agility and speed for his height. One of those clips, check out how many blocks he had on the wing. Comes out of nowhere, Hak style.

I think he could get by as a 4 in the zone. His length alone covers a lot of ground, and he gets up and down the floor really well. The thought of Chukwu and Bamba on the back line is crazy.

I need to contain myself! After landing TT and AW to round out the roster for what could very well be an outstanding season for us this year, getting commitments from guys like Green and Bamba for '17 just sounds WAY too good to be true. Have we ever had a class as big as the one '17 is likely to be? The most I recall seeing us bring in is five in one class. For our '17 class to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, AND to be one of the best, if not the best...just wow. Really want to see JB get one more championship before he rides off into the sunset.

Interesting. I assume he got an earful from Syracuse and now he wants to see what the rest of the suitors have to offer.

Hmm, thanks to Quade we seem to have basically gotten a free official visit from Mo. Perhaps like you say he is ready to start looking hard at his final choices and getting down to brass tacks.

I'm in Ann Arbor right now and I'm going to find him and sabotage the visit. I'm buying a UM shirt and hat right now.

Tell him Beilien (sp?) told Battle he should decommit from Michigan and go to SU.

I was going to start with,

I was going to act like I live here and say I met Tyus Battle before he committed and can't wait to see him this season and make someone correct me.

There is a golf cart that says Michigan Basketball outside a hotel right next to campus. I think I found him. My brother spotted it and emmidately regretted telling me.

Show him footage of Warrick dunking baseline on the 1-3-1

Go get him, let him know 'Cuse Nation is EVERYWHERE

 

[kidorange]

Tell him he's awful tall for a football player. Then say "oh, we have a basketball team?"

Hopefully he will not be influenced by MJ or Jeter who were also at the game today...
