As a Samet Yigitoglu ultra for the previous 7 minutes I am over the moon about this. I would die for Samet Yigitoglu.

We shall affectionately call him "Iggy."

or maybe "Yigi."

*especially if he throws Daniel Jacobsen in the dumpster.

Well, we did have a Yogi.

Pshhh what a band wagon jumper. I've been a fan of his for like 8.5 minutes.

Raby indicated Drew Adams deserves the credit on this recruitment.  Also he and Bossi said this does not negatively impact the Sherrill recruitment.  Bossi also said he expects news on Sherrill within 24 hours.

Out of nowhere but that is definitely some size! Wonder if we're shooting for a 3 big rotation of Sherrill/Yigi/Rancik? That would be insane!

Well doggonit now we don’t have class balance anymore. Too many kids with 2 years left lol.

I watched him a bunch during the year and live at the First 4.   Bigger in person.    Had some good games. Also got torched when he got switched onto a guard but that’s probably expected.   Nice center option

Couple of things I liked with my untrained eyes.  1) runs the court well; 2) Obviously a highlight clip but looks very sure handed and won't get the ball knocked out of his hands; 3) showed a little mean streak couple of times

You’re talking to the founding member of the Sam (rhymes with bomb) Squad bud.

His hands looked so so to me on the video. BUT his level of compete stood out. Seemed very fiery, and we all know I love a Dawg.   Seems like pretty much a dunker offensively.  A good screener.  This feels like a smart addition!

Hands look better than Ewe's hands of stone. That's kind of my barometer to measure against.

Only my opinion but one of the best center options doesn’t commit somewhere without visiting unless they have a good idea on what the rest of the starting 5 will be.   I’m guessing he knows who the 4 will be and that’s why he committed.  Just my opinion though

I don't hate that.
