2016 JC PF Ngor Barnaba -> Utah St

[Huskerpapa]

 

Sort of looks like a Walter P type with the addition of some inside ability.

No. I don't see that anyways. Walt was a freak athlete with a ton of length, who could hit an outside shot. But had very little midrange game or back to the basket ability. 

 

I see more of Coach Miles' typical Colorado State swing men in this guy. 

 

We will agree to disagree.

still hope we land jordy, though i'd rather have Ngor than nothing.

6'9 220 lbs

Averaged roughly 9 pts 5 reb and 1 asst per game.

Where did you get those numbers?

I'm showing he was 14.7 PTS 7.5 boards a game. 53-140 from three point land...not big for a big man. I'm not sure he's the type of big man we really need but he looks skilled on the offensive end.

Mine might have been from the year before i wasn't really paying attention. I like your numbers better anyway.

I hope he is not a Walter clone. I will have difficulty finding enough Ngor avatars.

If anyone can do it, you can, Jimmy.

Thanks.....assuming he is not at the top of our board at this point then.

A rivals update that said no offer was extended? Or just that his page hasn't been updated to say offer from Nebraska? Not doubting you I just missed it if there was a rivals update about this.

Ngor Barnaba visiting Utah State this weekend. Was recently at Nebraska.

Seems like Barnaba is a backup plan if we strike out with some other targets. If we don't land some "bigger names" he prob gets a late offer. Anyone agree?

[Norm Peterson]

I was thinking along the same lines.  If we don't have a glut of PF types, we probably take him in any ordinary year.  38% from three is a pretty good stat for a 6'9" guy with good frame.  He also has some decent footwork in the post.  But you couldn't walk through Hendricks swinging a dead cat without hitting 2 or 3 of our current PFs already on the team.  And maybe this guy wasn't quite athletic enough or maybe the coaches questioned his motor.  Or maybe it was just a situation that he just doesn't quite fit the need that we have right now.  Either way, I would have been slightly surprised by an offer and less surprised he left without one.

Can he play center?

6'9 is a solid height but he seems a bit thin to be considered a true center. His wing span could really be a game changer tho if it is 7+ feet.

I was thinking maybe the reason for the no-offer was we asked him if he wanted to be a center and he said thanks, but no.

 

And now he has a Memphis offer, so Tubby Smith certainly seems to think he's good enough to play major college basketball.
