We seem to be recruiting him pretty hard along with George Mason, he follows pretty much every coach in the team which is a good sign. Would be filling the spot we lose with Bertram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s actually a power forward, his HS team plays only one big man on the floor. Same height as Mballa at 6’7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabulls Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 I like Skogmans game, 6’10 and a threat from the arc. He’s also pretty physical and spent a lot of the season in the weight room getting bigger. Should be a scary player 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also Hardnett. I know the college game is different than HS but my HS team had a center the same size as Skogman, teams would sometimes let him shoot the three and he’d always make them pay. I can see Skogman being unguarded at the arc due to his size a bit, should be a tough player to guard on offensive because he’s reliable from everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue32 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Dealing with size defensively is a different question but in this video he scores 3 or 4 times on 7'2" Hunter Dickinson (#1 in blue) who is a 4 star freshman at Michigan. He does enough off the bounce/in the mid-range that he should be able to hold his own on that end against 6'10"+. I don't know if he would provide enough rim protection to be a full-time 5 for UB but he could pair with Skogman who (hopefully) will provide some of that.

Charles Barkley, Zion Williamson and Mballa are all PFs who are 6’7 or under. They all are decent defensively. If Zaakir is strong enough to body guys out of the way he shouldn’t be a liability on defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Zaakir is strong enough to body guys out of the way he shouldn’t be a liability on defense Yeah I was talking about as a center, I think the 4 is his natural landing spot defensively. He seems agile enough to guard a little bit on the perimeter and strong enough to guard in the post. The issue is all the guys you listed are more vertically explosive than Williamson so I don't know what he can provide in rim protection, which probably necessitates playing another big man with him. I think Skogman could pair well with him because he is supposed to be able shoot the ball. I would have concerns about an Mballa and Williamson lineup handcuffing the offense with two non-shooting big men (although they would only overlap for one season).

ChubbyHubby Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 He looks thick through the chest and shoulders. Appears to be quite strong. Give him #33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other prospect we seem to be recruiting hard is Victor Hart who’s a Small Forward. It’s been reported that we are recruiting him heavily. Williamson on the other hand doesn’t have much speculation on where he will end up. It’s seems like his top three are LaSalle, UB, and George Mason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
