Was that gif from when Tacko visited and played Josh? Everyone gets dunked on. I would still take a 7'6" person and sad we missed on him. I get the joke but, having watched all of the games this year and listening to the commentary, isn't it enough yet with Josh and his weight jokes? The kid has obviously done a lot of work and is moving in the right direction and it stopped being funny quite a while ago. I'm not trying to take a shot at you. It's just really played out. Not to mention, Joshua would abuse Tacko regardless of the height differential right now. In fact, it'd be great for JS to play a guy that tall and unskilled. It'd eliminate the flagrants for contact to the head as a result of Joshua making a post move.

I tried not to make too many weight jokes about Josh previously but now hes worked hard and in better shape. Of course a 5th year senior would abuse a senior in HS. Imagine the flagrants Tacko is going to get just running down the court swinging his arms!

But listening to the commentary of the past few games has really gotten under my skin. Thank you for explaining. Tacko may just be tall enough that his elbows won't be a problem at all against most opponents. Running down the floor, he'll be the last one down so he's good on that front.

The kid is majoring in Engineering and they're denying him eligibility based on a Calculus 1 class?!?

Fall ended up with 36 scholarship offers from schools, but his recruitment essentially came down to UCF, Georgia Tech and Georgetown. UCF was the local school, while Georgia Tech had Ndiaye, who helped facilitate Fall moving to the United States, and Georgetown was selling Fall on being the next in a long line of Hoyas big men, including Dikembe Mutombo lobbying on their behalf. The in-state option won out: Fall was going to UCF. www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/18473661/ucf-knights-tacko-fall-road-relevancy
