This kid is exactly what our team is missing...a rugged banger who can rebound, run the floor, and throw down some intimidating dunks. I agree with you, but Osun throws down some intimidating dunks. BJIF is correct a strong physical presence was severely lacking from last year's team. All I can think of is last few minutes of the Duquesne game. Duquesne kept throwing the ball down low to 6'8" 240 pound Michael Hughes. Osun could not stop the heavier and stronger Hughes as he kept hitting high percentage shots in the paint. I think this is the biggest reason why Bonnies lost to Duquesne. There were other games such as UB, VCU, Dayton where the Bonnies needed a strong, athletic and physical post player like Coulibaly.

Does anyone remember Prince when we played Siena? How did he hold up? I don't remember him, so I am assuming he did not make a big impression

In his game against BONA, PRINCE scored 8 points and had 3 rebounds in 21 minutes.

The article on Omoruyi points out a factor that MAY affect decisions on where recruits decide to play due to the pandemic.
Omoruyi said, “What truly made it different is what’s going on in the world today,” Oliver said. “It made him realize how important being close to family is, because you never know what tomorrow brings.”

This kid is incredibly impressive. I don't know if I've seen a big man who gets off his feet quicker and blocks shots like this since Patrick Ewing! Rutgers is going to be really good next year with just about everyone returing and this kid coming in.

I saw this on Twitter, from Elias Sbiet of North Polar Hoops and thought it was spot on
PROSPECTS: If you have a strong relationship and a solid offer in a place you can see yourself thriving in, place that believes in you and has a role, DO NOT chase something that's not there. Don't do it so you could say "blessed to receive...."

Right on the money WGT.This kid is very impressive with huge upside of skills. Excellent ball handler, can slash to the basket, finishes with either hand. Think of a better offensive player than Marc Macon the old Temple wunderkind.I believe this kid is a game changer and A10 ready.

Maybe we will be needing a DECOMMITED thread, Verbalcommits is reporting that a week after ABOU OUSMANE committed to RHODY, ABOU is reopening his recruitment. Maybe thecBONNIES' staff can get OUSMANE on the rebound.

KEVIN OSAWE, who's name has appeared at times in BONA recruiting threads, is looking less and less likely to become a BONNIE. TARIQ SBEIT of NorthPoleHoops is reporting BOBBY HUGGINS at West Virginia, along with OKLAHOMA STATE are making big pushes for OSAWE.
