7'5" HS C Mamadou Ndiaye looks like hes playing against middle schoolers

Kenny George couldn't move though. I saw him play in high school too. N'Diaye already has more athleticism. George ended up having to get one of his feet amputated I believe.

Yep. Got MRSA at a basketball camp.

He needs to get into a prep school (basketball factory) and play against some real competition, because he won't get any better basketball wise or athletically playing where he is. However, you can't teach height, but most of these 7-5+ guys struggle with feet and bone issues. If he doesn't get proper teaching and proper competition he'll probably end up in some lower level D2 school.

Fixed.

 

[ralaw]

Fixed.

Seriously, he can't enjoy playing and dominating the way he does. It has to get boring, which will cause him to play lazy. Whoever has taken him in for care needs to get him out of that school quick.

I was more shocked at the team that had a starting 5 of all Asians.

LOL, why does it matter how old he is? Not like him being 17 or 24 makes a difference in college, he's still 7 foot fucking 5. It's not like a college will say "ew he's 25, we don't want him!"

If I'm a college coach I grab the kid, he looked athletic and you can work with him to just grab rebounds and block shots with a few easy layups. Even lame ass Kenny George got 12/7 his final year. Not like you have to worry about paying him anything if he doesn't work out.

I couldn't find any recruiting page for him which is a little surprising, you'd think there'd be at least some D-1 interest.

No this isnt the same Mamadou Ndiaye that played at Auburn a few years ago, maybe his name in Senegal is akin to Joe Smith who knows

http://rivals.yahoo.com/highschool/...-california-prep-hoops?urn=highschool,wp11455

At 7-foot-5, Ndiaye is easily the tallest high school basketball player in California, and we can pretty much safely say, the rest of the country as well. In fact, Ndiaye is so tall that the Guinness World Records recently tried to track down an official measurement to determine if he is the tallest high school basketball player in the world.
None of those strict delineations are particularly important, of course, because one thing is certain: Ndiaye is so tall that he's pretty much impossible to defend … or get around when he's playing defense. As artfully chronicled by The Daily, Ndiaye stars for the Huntington Beach (Calif.) Brethren Christian School basketball team and is taller than any player on a current NBA roster, a place where he could find himself in a short three years if he continues developing.
"Right now his game is basically catch, turn, drop-step, dunk," Brethren Christian basketball coach Jon Bahnsen told The Daily. "But this kid's going to play professionally someday. The minute Mamadou enrolled I became a much better basketball coach."

Make no mistake: Ndiaye is not a Thon Maker, a teen who seemingly slipped right into everyday American life and life on the basketball court as if he'd been playing for a decade. Yet while his skill set may be much more raw, Ndiaye is even more of an enigma.
Ndiaye's trek to the U.S. is a strange and secretive one, complete with two different schools of enrollments of 250 students or fewer. The first of those, Simi Valley (Calif.) Stoneridge Prep, helped Ndiaye get a student visa … and a physical examination, where they discovered he had a large tumor on his pituitary gland which was likely contributing to his rampant growth and also impinging on his sense of sight. Doctors estimated he had two years to remove the tumor, at most, or risk losing all sight.
While Stoneridge Prep couldn't afford to fund his surgery, charitable donations did, and a married couple who lives near Brethren Christian became the enormous Senegalese teen's official legal guardians.
What did the couple want in return for their guardianship? Only for Ndiaye to get to be a normal American teenager, according to Bahnsen, who noted that the African native rides an oversized bike everywhere he goes and has fallen in love with Chinese food.
