Is Ugonna an earlier rawer version of Sheds?

It’s a good off-season to need a big man

From an Athletic article:
And Onyenso is really just getting started in basketball. He grew up playing soccer, a giant goalkeeper just like UK star Oscar Tshiebwe, until he was identified in middle school as a potential hoops prospect and sent to NBA Academy Africa in Senegal, where he spent 2 1/2 years developing his skills. He played last summer on the Adidas grassroots circuit in the U.S., became the youngest player (he turns 18 next month) to compete for the Nigerian men’s national team in a World Cup qualifier last November and returned to America in January as a midseason enrollee at Putnam

That didn’t take long it seems.
I think it’s funny how it’s kind of the same group of teams going after all these bigs (in different ranges). Like UVA and Seton Hall both lost their starting center, so we’re both after Minor. Yet now we’re also talking to the guy Seton Hall lost. It’s all just one big circle. Players trading seats.
Also @DFresh11 called Dickinson/Kentucky. I guess everybody is after him though. It’s just a question of who can get him in to visit.

Seems like Kentucky should be moving away from ball dominant centers that are poor defenders in space, hasn’t worked out well for them the past two tournaments

No; Adidas kid
Surprised that’s the direction they’re trying to go. With Aaron Bradshaw coming in, you just need a dude who can play 10-15 minutes.
Bradshaw is legit.
Ugonna…Ugonna…Ugonna go to Duke anyway
