The Clarkson kid visited us last before he verbed to Tulsa last month. Its either going to be a great weekend for SMU hoops or a very disappointing one. Once u get these kids on campus Doh & company gotta slam the door. BTW, Ndao's game resembles Faye more than Fall.

why do you think he's on campus this weekend? TCU just took a verbal from '11 SF, so hopefully that helps us. N'dao would be a nice pick-up, that's for sure

he wasn't scheduled this past weekend as far as I know. Not sure when his OV is lined up, but I think this was just a Smith weekend

So another tall, skinny, soft player who prefers to play wing and avoid contact whenever possible..........

What puzzles me is that Doherty was known as a tough, hard-nosed player who studied tape and worked [deleted] his game. Good defensively, very good passer who could score. Why doesn't he recruit this type of player instead of the soft euro or sengali player?????????

I think we will c a different look without
Fall. That's were most of my "soft"
issues were.

Faye has shown he can take
it to the hole & board. Hope 2
see alot more of that this year.

The new euro guard is not soft.

N'dao is a wing, not a PF or center. Some even project him as a SG. He also plays at one of the premier prep schools in America, tore up the Nike Global Challenge, and played very well on the AAU circuit for the Dallas Heroes. He has high major offers. Why are we stereotyping him again, friarwolf?
