6'9 Juco Doudou Gueye Coming to Louisiana

[epiccajun]

I watched some videos on this guy that you can find on youtube. And just for the record, I am not comparing him to Jakeenan Gant, but he has a very similar game to JG. Can shoot the 3 when need be, likes to post up, but has a soft jumper from 10-15 in. He is a little more physical than JG at 6'9" 220 lbs. Needs to work on his FT shooting, only a 59% FT shooter, but 38% from 3 point and 50% from the field. Solid rebounder and shot blocker.

It seems like with him, Jalen Johnson and the other inside commit, along side Jerekius our front court should be deeper and much more athletic. Also overall much bigger.

Our bigs next year will be Smith, Johnson, and Gueye. More Athletic overall than we have had in some time there. Davis will probably play some at 3 spot along with Julien. We will have 8 new players next year although Julien and Davis practiced last year.

And considering how potentially small we were looking to be 3-4 weeks ago, at least our size will be encouraging.

Hopefully, it all comes together.

There was a lot of discussion on DouDou in the Miller thread that may need to be merged here.

There was also lots of discussion pertaining to actual doo doo in that thread as well that doesn’t need to be merged here.

It has been confirmed that he has signed. He is a point forward type player. Ball handling and passing skills pretty good for a guy 6’ 9”.

I'll take it in a heartbeat if he can replicate those types of numbers.

Looks like we beat out a lot of big time programs to get him.

On paper we have an excellent young team.
