Fall and Diop are now on their official at SHU!!! Let’s get it done!!!
Most think we're running second to Arkansas. Let's follow these two players and change that.
They would be enormous gets.

I find it interesting that Sha will have their attention for 3 days, I'm sure he's putting on a full court press and hope that he is able to get through to these two. Would Fall and Diop spend 3 days in South Orange if they were locked into Arkansas?
Perhaps Ndaiye will turn out to be the most valuable player we've ever recruited.

Wonder if the family is pushing in a certain direction. Sometimes you get the strong-willed mama who thinks her kid will do best in a small school under guy like Shaheen. That's what I'm telling myself at least. Lol. Money will come later. Go where the personality fits the best.
Halidan 1 could not be more correct -either or both would be a major coup --so we can hope. And this is from a Guy that is not a big believer in Freshman recruits
You are looking at the starting frontcourt in 2023 should they commit. 🤞

They can choose: The Sopranos and Taylor Ham, Egg and cheese. Or
Ozark and possum pie.

Fayetteville is not like the rest of Arkansas, it is a very, very nice town
I had heard that. Just breaking balls. I was underwhelmed by Little Rock though.
Unfortunately Arkansas is not lacking in what they can pay their players. Walmart fully supports Arkansas NIL.The largest Senegalese communities in the U.S. are in NYC (Harlem), NJ and Chicago. Who knows if this is important, but it's an angle that Arkansas is lacking
I lived in Little Rock for 5 years. Underwhelming is a nice way to put it.
Has to be our starting bigs next year. All of our bigs are gone. Tyrese has the covid year. Pitch must be ur both starting day 1
Never been, but heard that too. And Arkansas sports is king and I mean king there. Basketball even more than football which is rare for an SEC school, although the football program seems on the ascent.
The NYC thing as a “draw”, in and of itself, never works one iota here unless you have a kid from the other side of the bridge/tunnel whose parents/advisors want him far enough away from the neighborhood (and thus no SJU) but close enough. Like Sanders apparently.
Playing time, Sha generally, and them taking an unconventional approach (to be the “man” or “men” in a smaller pond) is hopefully the play here.
I've heard of plenty of brothers, twins or otherwise, playing together. Can't recall cousins playing together. Great chance to make a statement.
I can think of one team right nowwith two sets of brothers…it’ll come to me.

If I were Senegalese, or of any African descent, I would pause a bit before relocating to Arkansas.
Not sure how far Harrison is from the school, but it is considered historically to be one of the most racist towns in America and just in 15 miles north of Harrison is where the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan claims its headquarters. I’m sure tons of progress has been made, and continues, but still…
Over the years, Harrison, AK, it has attracted a subgroup of people sympathetic to the Klan and its views.
Land these 2 and we'll quickly change our tune on high school recruiting....
It did have somewhat of an impact with with Mamu if I recall. Didn’t he have family in NYC?
My sense --which I dearly hope is wrong-- is that the visit is merely a courtesy. And that the Ndaiye angle will prove to be like Myles Powell's closeness with Duvall....nice but not enough to close the deal. I really hope we are all knocked over with a huge surprise, though.
Honestly, I don't recall the specifics of his recruitment. But either way we are talking about a different type of prospect. If these kids have family in NY, perhaps that helps. That could help with any kid, theoretically. But I think the other poster was emphasizing our proximity to NYC, generally, as a potential draw. That's what I was referencing.
I've never heard of the Harrison, AK stuff. But it certainly didn't stop Nolan Richardson, Mike Anderson and now Musselman from luring all types of talented African American basketball players.The largest Senegalese communities in the U.S. are in NYC (Harlem), NJ and Chicago.

I can’t speak to how it is now but when I was there (late 90s) it certainly seemed football was the top buzz
The thing that doesn't make sense to me, why do a courtesy visit that lasts 3 days? If these guys are in the bag for Arkansas, wasting 3 days of Sha's time is discourteous. I don't know if we have a chance with these guys, something about a 3 day visit makes me a little hopeful.
NIL “pitch(es)”?
Agree...You are not playing pick-up games and hanging in the dorms for three days. Would love to see the agenda for the visit. Even Sha will run out of motivational things to say in three days!

Part of advising these young men is making sure they look at all their options. They may or may not be in the bag for Arkansas, but the fact they’re here gives us a chance. Whether it comes down to NIL or feeling a connection with the school/staff is up to what the player wants and up to the coaching staff to convince them what they want is right here at SHU.
While I think that we’re a long shot to land these players you have to compliment Sha and his staff for getting them in for a two day official visit. We’ve been given a shot to convince them to come to SH and no matter the result it was still the right thing to do and not a wasted effort.

Super unrealistic optimal scenario. Arkansas was rescheduled already once. They really like us. This weekend's visit gets rescheduled again and they never figure out a date to do it. We win.
I'll have what you're drinking....I'm grounded in reality as history shows disappointment, but there's a chance.
