Wide shoulders. Condor wingspan. 6’ 11” 260 and nary a drop of fat. Young and raw, but he has Sarr frustrated with his physicality. Athlete.
Somto Cyril is a Beast

Big and strong but that's about it. Good for 2-3 plays a game but not a great basketball player.
Typical Cal recruit. Great athlete, little to no basketball skill other than being able to dunk.
Grabbed 8 rebounds along with scoring 6 points off the bench. Better stat line than three of the dudes who started for the Cats last night?
He’s not a good basketball player. He’s an elite athlete who just happens to play basketball. Typical cal recruit. He will never be anything other than a great athlete.
Yeah he played good in 1 game - he will go to being a nobody the next game , just like most of those Ga punks . But don’t pat this turd on the back . He’s not worthy
He did have the advantage of being able to shove without fouling. Oh and I know they don’t call technicals for hanging on the rim like they used to but that one dunk where he literally shook it left and right several times was stupid. How is that not a call?
He constantly fouls and pushes off.
He'd foul out every game if he wore a UK uniform.

Agree. He pushed off Carr right before was called for a flagrant one.
Plus he should have had 3 offensive fouls called on him.
Easy to Be a beast when you can mug the other team and not get called.
I'd take him over Ugo, Collins and Bradshaw.
I bet Cal wishes he had him.
Reminds me of Udoka Azubuike that played for KU several years back.
Probably a lock for the portal as he'll have to ability to attract more $$ than UGa is willing to pay a basketball player.
Azubuike averaged 5 points and 4 rebounds per game as a freshman. He was raw with no polish. But I’m not interested in turning the thread into a debate over KU post players. From what I saw last night Cyril can’t shoot past 8 feet, has no footwork to speak of, and hasn’t developed anything close to a reliable offensive move. He’s a true freshman and the Cats bigs were scared of him last night.

Point taken but how many freshmen bigs have you seen this year that are hands down better?
There's a few but he's up there.
I'd take him over JQ.
He should have had two technicals for bouncing on the rim in whatever show of "power" he was trying to do. Of course the UGA loving announcers thought it was bad ***.
He would suck in Pope's system. I can't fathom this huge, beastly man (yes, Xmas Vacation reference there) being able to handle passing from the top of the key.
Meh. Wasn't really that impressive to me. He's very physical I will give him that.
I wish we had a few more players who were able to dunk ,some of our guys would struggle dunking a doughnut
He wasn't quite Jarvis Vanardo last night with the no calls, but it was pretty close.
He committed approximately 19 fouls last night. He was effective last night. But he won’t be allowed to play that way most nights.
Oh, he has on reliable move.
And don't put you arm or hand in the way of it.
And he can certainly dance with your date.
