BBall Recruiting Thread 2k18- Sarr's decision is made.. Wake Forest!

Edited because I can't link to twitter at work. And because I'm dumb.

I'm curious what his wingspan is. If he can be Rudy Gobert Lite, I'll be pumped.
 
C'est tres bon!! Je suis ravi d'entendre les nouvelles d'Olivier a Wake Forest.

#ViveLeSarr ViveLaFrance!

Welcome Olivier to the start of a great and prosperous career as a student athlete at Wake Forest. The sky is the limit!

just as long as it doesn't turn into the BJ Anya thing where they have to mention his wingspan 5 times every fucking game
 
Without seeing anything other than that single "mixtape," I immediately feel better about our distribution of frontcourt minutes next year (assuming no Collins).

Should be able to get 80 minutes (and roughly 20 fouls) out of Dinos, Moore, SJM, and Sarr... Especially if we "go small" for stretches.

Worthless without an announcement from our favorite French reporter

So when JC officially goes pro, does that mean we would either A) have to have someone transfer or B)Make B Chill a "walk on", in order to take a grad transfer?
 
This is older at this point, and an international assessment, but Danny can definitely work with this. Block numbers are :eek:

Strengths
-Very good size for a big man at 6'11
-Has a lanky frame that should fill out really nicely in time.
-Long arms, big hands -Fluid and agile. Covers ground exceptionally well. Runs the floor with ease
-Has tremendous potential defensively. Active and competitive with ideal physical tools
-Good timing as a shot-blocker. 4.5 blocks per-40 at the U17s
-Can hedge out onto the perimeter and rotate back to make plays at the rim. Can also switch out onto smaller players, getting low and moving his feet -Closes out on shooters impressively
-Grabbed 12.5 rebounds per-40 at the U17s. Especially good on the offensive glass (4.0 in Zaragoza, 4.4 at ANGT this season)
-Very good finisher around the basket. Quick twitch off his feet. Appears to have some touch
-Late bloomer who is still at an early stage of development physically and skill wise. Grew five inches in the past two years.

Weaknesses
-Lacks strength in a major way at the moment, which affects him in every facet of the game
-Very limited offensively at this stage. Strictly a catch and finish guy. Needs to be spoonfed on offense
-Doesn't have any footwork or ability to operate with his back to the basket -Doesn't want to use his left hand
-Lacks a degree of aggressiveness. Doesn't always assert his will on games. Seems to have a little more in the tank than he's supplying at the moment
-Gets pushed around inside on both ends of the floor
-Could stand to improve his fundamentals as a post defender. Doesn't get low. Can get backed down
-Better defending off the ball than on it right now
-Doesn't have great timing or awareness on the defensive glass. Mistimes his jumps -Didn't register a single assist in 96 minutes in Zaragoza. May be more a product of his role (strictly a finisher) than his ability (he appears to be unselfish and moved the ball ahead in transition a few times intelligently), but something to monitor down the road.
-Averaged 7.3 fouls per-40 at the U17s and 6.4 at the ANGT.
 
Cuonzo leaving Cal might be huge for us in retrospect when it's all said and done. I know he was going hard after Hoard (and Sarr, of course).

He sounds like he has a similar HS scouting report to JC IIRC. JC had better footwork and was somewhat of a polished scorer coming outta HS. All of Sarr's weaknesses are problems that can be fixed with a good work ethic and a year in high level ACC program. I imagine he will bulk up considerably this off season.
 
Monstrous sign. Gives us security if Collins leaves, and additionally makes it that much more likely that Hoard comes our way. I really like Sarr's movement as a big man, and if we team him up with Mucius and Hoard I think I might cry for joy. Good days are ahead. Nabbing a 4 star recruit this late in the game is something we haven't done in a long time.
