Any word on when Wahab is signing his NLI?

22pts is somewhat impressive considering the environment. Bigs rarely get touches much less put up good numbers in these ALL Star games...

20 points and 19 rebounds (9 offensive) in roughly 20 minutes in tonight’s all-star game. 😳

Here is more good news. I watched the video of Wahab in the game. Of his 10 baskets, by my casual count only 2 resulted from plays run for him. 1 more was in transition. The rest were from cleaning things up around the basket. He could be a lot like Leblanc in that he can fill the stat sheet without having his named called very often.
And while it was an all-star game, there was plenty from him to clean up skill-wise. It was by no means a flawless performance.

Besides the defensive deficiencies displayed by the Hoyas over the last seven years, the lack of rebounding has been one of the major concerns. With Yurt, Wahab, Lablanc, Gardner, and Tim or Malcolm I don’t think that will be a major concern anymore. Can’t help but be excited about the upcoming year!

I'm looking forward to see how Pat instructs his players re: offensive rebounds. Are we going to go for them or head back as soon as the shot is up to stop/slow/not get roasted in transition? Or is it going to be a mix based on opponents?

With Yurt, Wahab, Lablanc, Gardner, and Tim or Malcolm I don’t think that will be a major concern anymore. Can’t help but be excited about the upcoming year! You may have mis-interpreted me a bit. I was comparing how both could be impactful on the box score without having offensive plays called specifically for them. Here is how I would break down how they are similar vs. different. Similarities Very good rebounders and offensive rebounders Energy players Athletic players for their different sizes Differences Leblanc is a 4/3 and Qudus is a 5 Leblanc is a superior defender. Qudus wasn’t a bad defender in the game, but his positioning had some deficiencies. Qudus didn’t seem to erase teammates’ mistakes like Leblanc does. Leblanc seems better conditioned...though he is only 6’7 and not 6’10....Qudus appears to need to take his conditioning to the next level Qudus seemed to have more comfort finishing offensive rebounds around the rim. He is more polished IMHO.

Qudus was named MVP and was dominant scoring 19 points (10-15 FGs) and hauling in 20 boards in 23 minutes. He is on my All Metro Player of the Year nominee list and will receive many more honors from me this week and next, Qudus runs the floor very well and is very skilled in the paint, with an elite jump hook, drop steps, up and unders and reverses. He has a very nice perimeter shot and can hit jumpers off several dribble. Qudus led Flint Hill to an outstanding 26-4 record and MAC title. The Huskies almost ran the table and the 4 losses were by an average of 3 points. Head Coach Rico Reed and Duval Simmons did a remarkable job in the player development and maximizing Qudus's skills for FHS. His defense, rebounding and rim protection are off the charts. That being said, Qudus still possesses upside. Additionally, Qudus played grassroots for WER1, an outstanding PA/NJ team and was teammate of US All Star Eric Dixon (Villanova).

I read a write-up like that and wonder what you have to do to become a 4-5-star recruit in high school these days?!?! And why can’t a recruit like Q-Dub who plays for a high level high school program not even crack the Top 100...?
Let’s prove everyone wrong Q and, to quote the new Skins QB, show’em “the league done messed up.”

Hoyas were 1st in the Big East in Offensive Rebounding for 2018-19, 9th in Defensive Rebounding and 4th in overall Rebounding Margin with +3.0 2018-19 Big East Team StatsIn the Ewing era the rebounding has been decent overall, certainly with room for improvement. But I don't think it rises to the level of a major concern.

With a tougher center and backups, I expect us to be top 3 in DR next year.
