Paris JC center Nouhoum Bocoum to visit UNT

[buff64]

Perhaps not mid-major talent in the class room .

[BillySee58]

The 2-day tournament I am referencing was for guys who don't have any offers, small school offers and/or have not committed. (over 200) There was no reason for someone with multiple offers to play in this tournament. I got to believe there must be other issues because there were several D-1 mid-major talent there. (hence, several available big men) 1 guy I thought was a high-major talent

Yeah, I knew about the tournament but I guess I didn't know that much about it. I didn't know that most players were lightly recruited, especially since Brooks was there, but as you said it wouldn't make much sense for guys with plenty of offers to be there.

I saw there were a couple 7 footers. Just out of curiosity, did they stand out as players? Or we're they uncommitted for a reason?

For Bocoum, he has just Eastern Michigan to compete with. As 03 reminded me, Benford was unable to outrecruit Eastern Michigan for Olalekan Ajayi last year. So we'll see how this last spot gets filled. And yes, thanks for the info.

Anything to avoid Benford. Wise

If Brady is smart, he'll have PJ Hardwick host him on the visit.

I am questioning whether we have an offer at this point. Makes me wonder what else they have going on. If they are after another player this seems to indicate they are leaning that way. Good luck to Nouhoum, I got a chance to meet him at the spring game and he seems like a good kid.

I just hope all of these visits and signings turn into an improved basketball team.

He didn't want to play for Benford? I'm shocked

[BillySee58]

So this is why Benford signs all these kids with no other offers.

[Harry]

I don't think we offered this kid.

[Cooley]

Nice to see a UNT offer but this kid has (or will have) better offers. A taller John Odoh at this point.

North Texas has offered 2016 Prestonwood Christian (TX) C Schneider Herard. (HT @boogclay) @Scutt_herard http://verbalcommits.com/players/schneider

[BillySee58]

I don't think we offered this kid.

Rivals shows an offer. But yeah, hard to confirm anything other than that we were recruiting him and may have been the only post we're going after, after Benford said he's going to get a center type for the roster.
