Yeah but what’s the height of the pickup truck? Asking the important questions now.

When I went to the UMass game at Davidson I sat a few seats from Samba Diallo and talked with him. He is very excited to be coming to UMass. He said that he has a friend in his native country that he is trying to convince to come to UMass.

^ Is his friend possibly 7' with a deadly 3-pt jump shot?

would be great to get a 7 footer, or even a 6'10". If I recall correctly, his native country is Senegal, and something like 90% of the players from there who are now in NCAAB are bigs.

For those who don't follow samba on Instagram he has been putting in work lately and I don't think we will have to worry about his knee injury holding him back. Was working out at midnight tonight in a UMass shirt as well

Whenever I see a KAEO thread of one of our current guys at the top, my heart sinks. This was a good one though! Can't wait to see Samba and (alliteraton/sarcasm alert) Sign Man's Samba signs on this team.

I wanted to make a comment about Samba's youtube highlights a little while back, and I thought first I should start a thread called "Don't Worry About It Announcements" in which anyone who was gonna post about a current member of the team could warn us in advance not to worry. By the way, my comment about Samba's youtube is that he doesn't seem to have a lot of hops, doesn't play about the rim very much.
edit: Just was surprised by the youtube because we heard so much about his athleticism.
