Newest Kool Aid recruiting thread

[RichmondCat]

No public ties to us or inside info, but I figured worth mentioning 2021 Sheick Samoura since he is high academic (4.2 GPA and 1450 SAT) and local, and we have open roster spots: https://ncpreps.rivals.com/news/sheick- ... w-his-name

Looks like a similar mold to Watson and Ford (athletic, long, versatile, needs to improve jumper) except more of a PG. Recent decommit from Air Force. Could be an interesting guy to add to the class even if it's for developmental upside, and even if he is a similar mold to our current commits, the strength of all of them is versatility so I don't see that as a problem (except that we definitely need to add some shooting to this class). Might be worth keeping an eye on.

Some twitter video of him: https://twitter.com/JamieShaw5/status/1 ... 16641?s=20

Well, looks like this post has some renewed relevance. Reported Davidson interest in Air Force freshman guard Sheick Samoura, 6’5 SG, The Peddie School (Fayetteville, NC). Listed as a transfer but obviously hasn’t played for AF. Actually twice committed to (and de-committed from) from Air Force.

The Kool-Aid list reflects publicly available sources, typically internet recruiting or social media sites (e.g., Rivals.com, Verbalcommits.com, Twitter, etc.), and published reports. The list is maintained for entertainment purposes only. It contains no information received from coaches or recruits. It should be updated approximately every five pages. For purposes of calculating open scholarships, this list assumes that reported non-scholarship players are still non-scholarship and no players will take an extra COVID year. Finally, the list now separates players who are publicly reported to visit, or have visited, Davidson.

Sheick Samoura, 6’5 SG, Air Force fresh. (Fayetteville, NC)

Top 5 from Parker Friedrichsen tonight.

Davidson made the cut.

https://twitter.com/5parker5/status/155 ... 3PYnB2sXNQ

He will make another visit to Davidson: August 30-September 1.

Davidson: “Obviously the greatest shooter in the game came from there (Steph Curry) and being able to try to follow in his footsteps and that system would be cool.”

Visit starts today. Should be a fun time to be on campus.

He was a little more effusive about his visit to Notre Dame. However he did not get his picture taken with Steph Curry at Notre Dame.

I always laugh at the head shot game jersey experience for recruits but should we do that?

PS will say, like that material on those ND whites.

They could have pressed it for him.
