The young man did say he's cutting his list down very soon. If SBU makes the final cut Coach B needs to go all in on him. Recruit him ultra hard til then.

I watched that video for about five seconds and figured he wasn't coming. He looks to be an incredible defensive force, which you don't see much of in this league.

Sal Nuhu of the Bronx,NY over at Hutchinson CC needs to be recruited. 6'8 4/5 with long arms. Can hit a face up J and score near the rim. Blocks shots and can defend in the high post and perimeter somewhat. Not sure what his recruitment looks like but he's making impact on a top Juco team in the country and he's from NY

We can only hope at this point that a decent big for the AE is on the radar .  Ochefu is 6'8 and Christi is 7 ft. need a 6'10 type in there to balance things .  Someone who is defensively minded but could give us 10-12 points in a game.

not that i think all info on the web is right... but why does this say he is 6'5'' and 22???

http://www.ncsasports.org/mens-basketball-recruiting/new-york/bronx/taft-educational-campus/sal-nuhu

i think he is 6'5'' and his wingspan is 6'8''.

Chairman, that profile was created before 2013. Nuhu didn't enter Juco until 2016, hence why he's finishing at Juco in 2018. He's 6'8 I've seen him play in person. Back in 2012 while he was a student at Taft HS he was 6'5.
His wingspan is more in the neighborhood of 7 feet.
Hutchinson won the national JUCO championship last season and looks to make another run this year.Nuhu was an important piece to last years Chip team at Hutch.  He backed up Shakur Pinder who is a stud at UNLV right now and won National Juco player of the year. Kid is battle tested. And yes he is 22 years old. Won't have any maturity issues.

i just wasnt sure if the 22 was locked in time or updated, meaning, you normally don't grow three inches after 22.

either way- very helpful.

Gotcha, You Make a lot of sense.
Nuhu was a teen when that profile was made. He's 22 now.
Just did further research he is 10th all time in blocked shots at Hutchinson CC.
That juco has been a high major breeding ground the past 20-25 years ,so that's pretty impressive in my opinion.

I thought Almonacy wouldn't be on the team after last year. I believe it to be even more likely now with Cornish, McKenzie and (probably) Long back, and with Ceesay and Latimer on their way.

Any movement would open up a much needed roster spot.

Are Ceesay and Latimer considered to be point guard material?   Neither Cornish or McKenzie are starting point material, IMO.

Cornish is a stud if he could harness his athleticism. He will get a lot better over the summer, I wouldn't count him out. Latimer can help some with Bball handling duties.

Don't disagree with his athleticism - next to Saintel, probably the 2nd most athletic guy on team currently.  However, he needs to slow the game down, be a lot more prudent and judicious in his decision making, and as you state, harness that athleticism.  He is out of control currently more than he is in control.  Looking forward to seeing this Latimer kid.
