Good job and hope we see this honor actually happen DURING the CUSA season. He now has the moves to and strength to dominate down low. Lets see him get MAD and really get mean and nasty down there......

I know, probably not gonna happen....he could be a beast if he ever got mad.....or really motivated

Lets not forget that Pap seems an improved passer from the high post this year. I don't ever remember him having 3 & 4 assist games.
