Lol high major, elite rebounder and shot blocker. This is why I doubt any fan descriptions until I see the player myself

 

[IronKaz1]

I mean Big East is high major

lol. Same here

God bless him. I pray he does well at his new school.

Yea if you don't consider any actual context. This was essentially a preferred walk-on who got zero real minutes and never accumulated an actual statistic in non-garbage time. That's like saying getting David Gabriel is a high major transfer.

And on what level is Mbaye an "elite shot blocker and rebounder"? Maybe the 55 and over mens league at the YMCA. So none of the description is accurate at all, but that's typical fan hype. This is just the extreme

Gus Yalden didn't get much playing time here. Once he went to Vermont he became a scoring machine, averaging 16 ppg and dropping 29 pts against Princeton.

Sometimes going down a level really makes a difference. I hope he gets a chance to play and puts up some good numbers in the mid-major level.

Is Godswill still on the open market?

Gus got plenty of chances and imo, implying the two Shu careers were similar is crazy.

I wish mbaye well.

I was not implying their careers were similar. My point simply was that sometimes players that did not do well here, bloom elsewhere. Darnell Brodie got very little playing time here but excelled at Drake. Big men sometimes take longer to develop. Again my point is to say that maybe Mbaye will block some shots and score a few points elsewhere, if he gets an opportunity. Down a level seems perfect. I was making this point to counteract the negativity and ridicule of Mbaye. Maybe posters do that because one particular poster was obsessed with Mbaye. But it's still not a good look.

I hope so. It would be good to have him on our roster.

Injured and asking for way too much money. This is not happening.

Looks like the price may be dropping . Sale price.

to be fair nobody here ever mentioned or even thought for one second about Mbaye until that clown shu67 made it his weird personal obsession to act as if he was a future first round pick.

Oh and if you want to be taken seriously as a high major D1 player (or a college player at ANY division for that matter) you can’t lose to a 50yr old pot belly YouTuber and have it put online for the world to see. That deserved mention on this board. If anything is “not a good look” it’s that. Embarrassing

Florida A & M is down at least 2 levels. And they suck at that level.

Going the Diminigus Stevens route.

 

[Halldan]

Guys, we all realize Mbaye's level. But there's no need to disparage him just because a former poster felt the need to make him a source of ridicule.

He was a Pirate and isn't one anymore. Wish him well and let the topic disappear.

 

[dehere23]

Also him and Yalden are entirely different players from a pedigree perspective. Baby Jokic was a top 100-150 kid out of prep, I believe, who went to Wisconsin before coming here. Mbaye was a walk on project.

No need to trash 67 for his opinion. Yes, his take was extreme but calling him a clown is uncalled for.

 

[HallGuy2323]

But if Mbaye never got minutes here how will we know what he was capable of?

Thinking Mbaye was a good player is a clown move, sorry. It’s just a fact. Far more delusional than the Duck poster and Nganga even. I have no problem with 67 apart from that and don’t think he should’ve been banned FWIW

I saw all I needed to see when he played, but my opinion is meaningless. Sha saw a 7'4 St Pats kids in practice for 2 yrs and he played him a few minutes.
