Rawane Ndiaye Reportedly commits

[johnnybravo]

So this means Yemi is gone for sure then I assume?

Not at all. It appears more and more that the JV guy is a replacement for Stokes.

Dang. I thought he was at least on the Varsity team at Indian Hills.

yup, sarcasm.

 

[knowthevols]

Is it an NCAA violation to comment on a potential player?

Until we have his loi in hand, yes.

 

[GoobieVol]

Until we have his loi in hand, yes.

Huh. This I did not know... NCAA has waaaaay too much time on their hands.

 

[GoobieVol]

thnx

Found that quote very interesting as well...think Quinn may have accidentally spilled the beans there...then again he went on to say writing is on the wall with Stokes so idk

Could be taken 2 ways. Stokes is gone and he likes ndiaye's skillset so he will play over Yemi. Or it means Yemi is gone and ndiaye's an upgrade

I find it hard to believe that Yemi would be leaving after hearing about the tweeted pic a couple days ago with him working out with the team.

Under that theory you don't see Stokes going either then I guess? He was at a recent workout.

Stokes hasn't been asked to leave like presumably Yemi would have been. So, I would see them differently.

 

[GoobieVol]

Between Stokes and Yemi, my gut says Stokes is gone. If so, I just hope he keeps going to class.

I don't think Yemi was asked to leave, I think it's his decision.

 

[johnnybravo]

I don't think Yemi was asked to leave, I think it's his decision.

Well, that would be your opinion.

My opinion is that Yemi is "forced" to make that decision similar to Washpun. When you are forced to park your butt on the bench the last half the year, you kinda know where you stand with your potential playing time.

And if he's already decided to leave and CCM had to sign this new JV guy to replace him, then I wouldn't expect Yemi to still be practicing with the team.

My thoughts as well. If it was Yemi's choice, wouldn't he already be gone by now? Or at least confirm the transfer? This is all on Stokes decision. Also, if BOTH Yemi and Stokes were thinking about leaving wouldn't there be some chatter regarding another Big guy?Instead of just one?

I just don't think CCM would scramble and take another project if Yemi left if he still has Stokes, Maymon, Davis, Reese, and Q. Especially, if he's already over the limit.

If Stokes leaves, then I think he definitely has to scramble and has to take the bottom of the barrel JV guy.

Heck far, Yemi has the best opportunity to see a lot of playing time IMO, especially his Senior year. Why would he leave over Reese, Edwards, and Q.

I see it HIGHLY unlikely though that CCM forced yemi out the door, to make room for Ndiaye. He would be running the risk of stokes leaving, forcing yemi out and only having Ndiaye as a center next year...you think that's what he was trying to do? I don't.

 

[Dougie_D]

There's really only two scenarios:

Yemi and Ndaiye - stokes declares
Or
Ndaiye and Stokes - yemi "forced out"

That's assuming that Yemi leaves before the NBA deadline, if was Yemis Choice CCM would still be recruiting a big in case Stokes leaves

Or Yemi wants to go somewhere he will get playing time.

Or the one most have been saying for 6 months, Landry goes to prep school.

And you know he isn't?

Landrys dad seems to think his son is coming.....of course I realize it is his dad

 

[MrVol]

Who else could he have gotten? If Stokes stays will people be willing to deal with this commitment? Especially if Yemi leaves and its essentially replacing Yemi with another player of his caliber and he won't be asked to play more than 6-8 minutes a game.

Joseph Uchebo is a 6'11 JUCO from Chipola College. He averaged 13 points and 13 rebounds per game. He had 19 rebounds in the Jordan classic in high school. He is unsigned and visiting Pitt this weekend. That is the kind of player Martin should be going after.
