Class of 2016 Jordy Tshimanga (center)...

Is that a younger version of Rick Jackson...sure looked like it.

If he hasn't gotten any big time offers yet maybe he's got academic issues.

Just read he's originally from Montreal, Canada too.

BC, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, TCU, South Florida just no Big names. You don't see it in this video but he gets up well to dunk and block to.
 
Yeah... he looks like he could make an impact at the major collegiate level... BUT, it is sooo difficult to really assess anything from these highlight clips that are posted for these kids. Obviously they are made with the intention of illustrating all the upside aspects of the young players and what we see is the cherry picked footage of all the good plays. There are a multitude of things which come into play with each kid that all have to line up and fit with the needs and style of play for each college team.

Some kids look awesome on a video and when they arrive on campus it only then becomes apparent that they have a long way to go before they are ready to contribute. Some come...and never substantively improve while they occupy a scholarship spot while others improve by leaps and bounds and exceed everyone's expectations.

One thing is for sure and that is the huge importance of each kid we bring in over the next several seasons being an impactful player since we do not have the margin of error we would typically have with a full compliment of scholarships. I think our staff does a great job in determining which kids will be successful within the structure of the Syracuse program and playing philosophy. With all the added pressure over the next several seasons I don't envy the huge task that the coaches and assistants have in that regard.
 
Agree, and Center especially can be a tough read.

Scoring centers with a hookshot or 10 foot stepout for 3 buckets a game are rare finds in college. You see the midmajor teams centers put up big points on us sometimes while the high majors don't.

This kid knows how to bump, has nice footwork and most importantly looks to have the mobility. You should check out his video on the 5 letter site that starts with a S for a better read.

Left handed/Hookshot for a center. Are you kidding me? Just think left and right block for a center and PF, and working the triangle out of both sides with motion shooters.
