^ Excellent article! Gotta love Samba.
Curious to know why he wears two different colored sneakers at home, but not on the road.

Re: KAEO: Samba Diallo
I think I heard somewhere that it's to remind him of his journey from his home in Senegal to the USA. Not sure why it's a home/road thing though.

Potentially limited on how much space they have to bring things when they go on the road?

Re: KAEO: Samba Diallo
He definitely wore the mismatched sneaks at the Mohegan tournament. I remember talking to a couple UVA guys about it.
Re: KAEO: Samba Diallo
I've noticed them at home, but not on road games that I've seen on TV.

Re: KAEO: Samba Diallo
He seems to be wearing matching sneakers tonight.. for once.
Re: KAEO: Samba Diallo
^ Aside from the Mohegan games you mentioned, he's been wearing matching shoes on the road. Looking forward to Saturday...

Re: KAEO: Samba Diallo
Does anyone know our record with matching shoes vs. unmatched shoes?

Re: KAEO: Samba Diallo
He is incredibly easy to root for. And if he ever gets a consistent jump shot, I’d like to see what his ceiling could be. Putting up like 9 and 8 in conference play as is.

Re: KAEO: Samba Diallo
That's awesome, really well done and what a great kid. He's been easy to root for since he got here. Maybe they'll do a piece on Djery next? He seems like a very interesting character.
