Pitt just offered 2020 Desert Vista 6'10 F Osasere Ighodaro

[Tonyt66]

What do you think of him 6'10 F?
Powerhouse sports calls him a skilled and athletic guard.

 

[VincePITT]

 

[Tonyt66]

He would be a big time player here.

 

[bummer01]

If Capel can get a 6'10" guard, should he run out an all-big lineup with this guy at the 1?

 

[Fsgolfdr]

Anyone else notice in his highlight film not one shot was greater than 10ft . If he develops an outside shot he’s a perfect NBA player .

He’s Ben Simmons!

 

[FireballZ]

He’s Ben Simmons!

That's exactly what I thought after watching the video. Poor man's Simmons. That may well work fine at the college level, but as a Sixers fan, I already have enough Simmons in my life. Any sound defensive strategy makes him very ineffective. Hopefully, Pitt would have enough shooters around him to allow to provide enough spacing. Would be a good problem to have...

I hope Capel is his godfather or something, going into AZ for a top 100 forward. Surely there are more realistic priorities for the program.

yeah I don't see this happening unless there is some crazy connection.

I don’t get this logic. It takes a very small amount of effort to look at film, pick up the phone, and offer a scholarship to a kid. I saw an article from a week or so ago that said that he was planning on making a trip to the east coast later this summer to visit some schools - you throw the kid an offer, see if he wants to take an unofficial as part of his east coast swing, and you see what happens. If he doesn’t visit, you let him know you’re still interested but you haven’t really cost yourself anything.

It doesn’t take any effort to offer , but it does take a lot of effort to sign !

Capel probably thinks he's going to blow up. He's a top 100 recruit now, where will he be in a year? If Pitt has a chance with him, it's by getting in early. I'm not suggesting you prioritize him or give him undue focus, but he looks great and there's absolutely no harm in shooting him an offer.

The only major misstep that Capel has made with regard to recruiting priorities was giving that idiot Quinerly an OV and even that isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Early helps , but you need his John Hancock on his LOI .

 

[DC_Area_Panther]

Assuming he is class of 2020 you can't have a signed LOI until November.

Yeah, and if he got in early that's one thing. But getting in weeks after Marquette, Oregon, VTech, Arizona, USC, Texas, Cal, New Mexico, Vanderbilt, and did I mention Arizona.

Look, I hope Capel gets him but they might as well have offered KD while they were at it.

 

[thebadby2]

Well I know how I'd defend him based on that highlight clip--just take away his right.

 

[Tonyt66]

I would love to have him because there's drills to teach you to use your left hand and shooting jumps shots is a confidence thing that you can build on

 

[DC_Area_Panther]

Absolutely. You can't teach height and athleticism; but, a summer of two-a days with a quality basketball trainer can cure his two issues (too dominant to right hand and lack of jump shot).

 

[412boyz81]

What his raw highlights he goes to his left quite often smh haters gonna hate. Pitt baby

 

[Fsgolfdr]

JC will probably offer enough kids to fill up the roster of the FB team . What we all need to hope is that 2 or 3 of these higher rated kids choose Pitt . He needs to land some of his priority targets and get the train rolling.

So absent from this kids highlights is that he doesn’t show his shooting abilities and he’s predictable. If this kid was an excellent shooter and could go both ways he’s not going to college !

 

[412boyz81]

Rewatch his raw highlights on YouTube he can go both ways, what he can't do or what it doesn't show is his shooting ability everything else is pretty dam good...

 

[TWPitt]

He just trimmed us from his list.

 

[Tonyt66]

I know he has a weird Final Four it's Marquette, Texas, Stamford and Vanderbilt. I can see why Vanderbilt intrigues him a little bit because of Jerry Stackhouse being a coach and he has other coaches on his staff that got NBA experience.

Well I am pretty sure those were also the first 4 Majors to offer him. I know Marquette, USC, and Vandy got in there months before Pitt.
