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?
Agreed. I've seen him play. We are lucky our name is in the same sentence as his. We need him. He will be a program changer.
Don't comment unless you have seen these guys play.

If we can pull off this kid with the Senegal connection and Leslee Smith with a miracle, our team starts looking pretty nasty with McCoy in the mix.

Does anyone know if he visited this weekend and if so, when we might decide.

Was he planning on this past weekend and did not visit? When is he planning to come visit? Thanks.

suffice it to say, the inn is filling up. Not sure N'dao has reservations

I guess I will take that as a positive. Right?

If the inn is filling up and he doesn't having reservations, he won't be staying at the inn. Tell me if I'm wrong, but I believe that means he won't be coming here? I hope we get him. Looks like a serious player

sometimes things are first come first serve. N'dao is a good player, I'd love to see us make it work, if he wanted in. I'm not holding my breath, though

Did we have a chance with him if he HAD visited? Perhaps the writing was on the wall and the coaching staff didn't want to waste their time. PonyDoh, your insights?

N'dao is a good player that projects as a 3. In order to secure Leslee Smith, he probably needed to hear/see that he's going to be get minutes at the 3 &4, not just 4. Essentially, I'd think they were vying for the same ride. My guess is that he didn't visit b/c Smith took that offer. Especially since they' already knew Vilde was their big.

That sounds logical.
I would also think that the Vilde's offer came to fruition when N'dao told SMU or told with his actions that he wasn't coming. Just a guess, but also a logical assumption.
Did Vilde have a standing offer or was it recently given?
That leaves one more spot.
