UNT lands highly regarded center Abou Ousmane

[Jonnyeagle]

he Mean Green needed a post player after losing forward Deng Geu to graduation after last season. "North Texas was looking for a big man to round out its class," Osumane said. "I will fit in perfectly. They throw the ball inside. They talked to me a little about filling the role Geu had." UNT had some rebuilding to do after winning the Conference USA regular season title this season. Grant McCasland and his staff took the final steps in that process this week while picking up three players in three days. Osumane passed on offers from a host of nationally prominent programs to join UNT's class. Texas A&M and Georgetown were among 18 schools that offered Osumane a scholarship.

I was told by a URI fan, that he is a very talented player and should have a impact this season. Possibly Geus replacement

That's good to hear.  He is just 19 so it will be interesting to see how he develops.  Geu leaves some big shoes to fill.

Not to be too negative but given this kid’s “commitment issues” when does he actually sign on the dotted line??

Wednesday is the first day of the signing period, so they should all be signing that day

Virtual signing?

I would assume they will handle it as always, via fax or scan and email.

These signing class(es) aren't going to be able to make a big hullabaloo about who they sign with.  No reveal parties in the local gym or anything outside the home.

Must be a bummer!
