I fully expect him to be successful (though not post season in 19-20) and hope that's the case. If he strings together a couple of MD type seasons that lovable wackiness would wear thin pretty quickly.
Crazy like a fox! In this day and age it takes a unique energy to break through the clutter and make an impact.

I think he would have 4 years left as he was a RS at Arkansas this past season. Do we have room for him with a scholarship? Would he have to sit another year despite not playing at Arkansas?

He has not "tweeted" any commitment.

That would be his second time signing with Baylor. He originally signed with the Bears in April 2018, then got released from his commitment and went to Arkansas, signing with the Hogs in May 2018. He red shirted at Arkansas.

Pretty cool though I'm not sure what the West Virginia angle is.

I checked his twitter account when I posted at 2:36 (EST?) Didn't see the tweet!

Welcome to the fold, Mr. Ali!

Listen closely to Coach Hunter, and you'll have a fun ride in New Orleans.

Even though he redshirted he'd still have to sit out the year unless he gets an exemption that allows him to start playing immediately.

Welcome aboard.

Someone is leaving or someone is going to be medically disqualified. Could be Zhang leaving or maybe Ajang being Medically disqualified.

I could care less if it was any of Dunleavys guys leaving. Ali definitely has the build and look of an inside force. Love how many big time programs were on him.

I also like that he has already had some time of basketball skills development at other universities, and isnt a twig like our duo from africa.

I cannot agree more with your post. My only concern was lack of production in High School and zero track record at the college level.

As the door hits Zhang in the ass on his way out he is KO'd by the contact.

Zhang ain’t all that don’t get me wrong, but in the right role could be an asset off the bench . Too much was asked of him . Could be an effective offensive situational guy

Very fair to wait and see how the holdovers do with more structure, stronger motivation and better talent around them.
