Class of 2019 C Qudus Wahab (VA) to Georgetown

[HOFCeluck]

Ummmm, because that is what EVERY coach who recruits any player says. You're not gonna sign many players with a sales pitch that goes "Hey kid, it would be cool if you committed here, but we don't really need you that bad."

Yeah but that hooters waitress was totally into me.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

So you're basing this off your opinion? Because everyone else has the opinion that he is a 5. Just saying.

He plays more like Lydon or Donte Green than Baye. But, hey, in our system, Marek is a 'sometimes 5.'

You're a legend :rolling:

 

[JeremyCuse]

I don't care what it takes we need Wahab desperately. Did Cali leave the board some bag money?

That’s not what I was hoping to see.

Not my opinion. It’s whats on his film. He plays away from the basket. Don’t see him playing C. Of course he could play inside like Lydon and Marek did/do. Doesn’t make them a center.

I can tell you what I’ve heard. He’s a player who currently has more of a stretch skill set, but who prefers to play traditional center. He wants to play inside, but doesn’t have the body / skills yet. He most definitely projects as a 5 here, who could play some 4.but because he’s versatile, he could move to the 4 if we get a legit post player.

Our centers stink that's obvious and (from what I'm hearing on this board) not entertaining QG to come here is baffling to me given how Howard is playing. We have to do what's necessary to change and get better.

The video we have here shows him shooting jumper after jumper. Is there any of him actually playing center?

After dropping back in and only reading recent comments, I got confused. The talk of the player who looks like a 4 is AJAK, not Wahab. Wahab definitely looks like a center.

yea, that's what I meant. I see ajak as more a 4.

The real question is why is it so hard for us to get big men who catch ball , everyone we play has better big men, how do we fix this?

It’s the system. The JB zone ideal 6’11-7’0 studs won’t come here regardless. We can’t and won’t play modern position-less ball and/or have a diesel PF type manning the middle. Length first and foremost so we get the beanpoles further down the trough/sloppy seconds-thirds who are raw.

We would be totally fine with a Perkins-type of UB as a C, IMO. Watch him destroy our frontline tomorrow.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Give me a center with a sweet hook

Give me a center that can jump and dunk. We need to get back to having a more athletic player manning the middle to help on both ends. A 7’ guy is nice but if he can’t jump or lacks athleticism, how helpful is he?

So he’s a 5 here then...

I will say this about Ajak. He was ranked in the top 50 in 2017 according to 2 4 7. Let's hope his upside reflects that.

Per twitter rumblings looks like he's down to Uconn, Pitt and G-town. No real surprise unfortunately. Time to move on to Carrigan or someone else.

 

[cuse10]

Get a beefy grad transfer and put on the full court press for a legitimate center in 2020.

 

[RF2044]

As plan D's go, we could do worse than Carrigan..

 

[SoBeCuse]

Yeah for sure. I’d take him in a heartbeat. It’s dire straits with recruiting at that position. Not good. Whether JBA is a 4 or 5, we won’t be seeing results from him until over yonder.

The fact that we are on Plan D at a position that is by far (IMO) our most pressing need is troublesome, to say the least.

(Preface this by assuming Stewart goes elsewhere.)

Coffee is for closers.

This staff needs to be shaken up -- we need the next Troy Weaver.

I think the lack of a big man coach is why you see what you have from our centers
