I was unable to watch without laughing.
Is that what it was like for Wilt Chamberlain in high school?

Hey, he loved Chinese food! Perfect for a post-game snack after a game at Verizon ;D.
I still don't get how he lost that opening tip, but I enjoyed him grabbing his guards' back court pass as he was running through ;D
Honestly though, he runs the floor pretty well and seemed to have range out to the FT line in warm-ups. Definitely has the frame to add more muscle as well. Would love to see him against some competition closer to Div 1 size. Would be an interesting pick-up if we miss out on Noel, Ndiaye can block pretty well too. Averaging 23.6ppg 13.8 rpg 4.8 bpg. Not many assists but not sure if that is an indictment of his passing.

It's hard to see him at this point having the mobility, quicks, and lateral movement to be effective in the Big East. But if we watched video of Roy at the same stage, we might have said the same thing.
Honestly, I think the opponents center was 5'9". Hahahaha.
Anybody know what is going on with that TJ Ogem...(?) recruit? Didn't he end up in a school in Florida?

Yeah Jordan Omogbehin ended up at USF. I would take Ndiaye just for the pure novelty of having a 7'5 player on our team.

Serious question: Is he better or worse than Sim Bhullar? I can't tell

I love height. He looks fairly unathletic there, but if there is potential for him to improve by getting in better shape, etc., he's the type of porject I'd take. 7'5!

Posted something on this kid a while back…Medical issues brought him to the states. He needed a procedure to remove a tumor from his pituitary that they couldn’t do in native country and so he had to come to the US. Regardless of wether he becomes a great basketball player kudos to the human spirit and the individuals in this case for helping a child in need

Why did he even bother jumping for the tip? That's why he lost it!
Best of luck to him wherever he ends up. It would seem he will be receiving a free college education somewhere, and that's a good thing.
Hope his health is good; those pituitary issues can be tricky.

Tonyparker, yaboy, other recruiting gurus, have we shown any interest? 7'5 is intriguing, especially from a defensive perspective.

Whoa. This dude is tall.
7'5" and it looks like he has good footwork in the post and a pretty soft touch... I'm sold. I think this guy has some tremendous potential.

Finally watched the video. The opposing "center" definitely stole he tip. I don't think the ball even reached the leve of Ndiaye's head before the other kid tapped it away.
I think he looks fairly athletic for a 7'5" kid.

Ranked 7 overall in 247's 2013 rankings. Seriously? Is this just because of his height? I've watched the videos, but you just can't tell when he's playing kids sub-6'.

That's just Jerry Meyer's opinion, and I don't think anyone else is quite so bullish. But at his height and being able to make it up and down the floor, there's no telling how good he could be.
