Florent "Flo" Thamba 6'10 C 2018 to Baylor

[shocks02]

From today: https://www.prephoops.com/2017/01/re...t-thamba-2018/

Thamba has received scholarship offers from Pitt and Wichita State. He visited the campus at Pitt this winter. Virginia, West Virginia, and Oklahoma are among the other programs reportedly involved in his recruitment.

“I’ve improved at posting up, going to the hoop,” Thamba began. “Last year I was more of a defender, block shots. This year I can put the ball on the ground.”

“I’m the type of player that will work on whatever the coach would need me to do.”

I'm sold, based on his height. With Asbjorn, that would make a terrific one-two punch! Let's go with the Flo!

I could swear I saw Flo or someone who looks just like him at the game tonight. In fact I saw 3 young men that had the look of recruits, but Thamba is the only one I sorta recognized.

Czar Perry and Ben Harvey from Arkansas we're two of the visitors. There definitely looked to be two or three more behind the bench.

It would appear that both of these youngsters are 2017 (depending on academics, etc.). I wonder who the others were.

Thamba would be from Virginia. That's a long distance for an unofficial visit and if true would indicate a serious interest.

There is some internet discussion of Perry going juco.

Czar? Just when I think I've heard every possible name...

There were tons of recruits there last night. And some Shocker greats as well.

Could have sworn I saw PJ, and unless my eyes have gone bad, Mike Denny from the 70s-80s.

[Dave Stalwart]

If you missed him last night don't worry because I'm pretty sure he will be at Hartman Arena later this month or next.

Or prep school

You are right sir. From Sully's Shocker report this morning:

"Former Shocker P.J. Couisnard brought Houston Episcopal guard Jahari Long, class of 2020, on an unofficial visit. Couisnard, who played one season for Marshall, coaches AAU basketball in Houston, his hometown."

Are either of these guy's post players?

[pinstripers]

the two kids I saw walking around we both right at 7 feet, rail thin, long, and very dark skinned. I want both of them.

Perry is 6'1 and Harvey is 6'5. Perry looks like a low-major D1. Harvey might be a potential walk-on?

I saw the same two guys. I'm 6'3" and both guys were at LEAST 6" taller than me.
