I still hope we can land Bragg but it will be interesting to see what happens between guys like Scott, Diarra, and Nsoseme. They all seem to be similar players in that they are high energy athletic guys with not a lot of polished offensive moves between them. A little but not a lot. All seem to be capable defenders and rebounders.
Nsoseme is very raw but has good leadership qualities and determination. In a short time playing BB he has picked up a lot. With his drive I could see him continuing to work the hardest in the off season to improve his game. I like that he is the only lefty in this bunch. Most room for improvement but that is understandable. With the Diarra pickup I could see a redshirt here if...IF...we want to keep him on the roster for 5 years. Almost no go to moves other than put backs and dunks right now. A good guy to have on the bench for foul trouble if nothing else develops.
Scott has already had 2 years in the system and his shooting touch isn't bad but he needs to work on getting some loft on the outside shot or figuring out a post move and developing ball skills. His handles are better than Eliel but if he doesn't want to get lost in the shuffle he needs to add something to his game.
Diarra seems like a beast from the videos with a lot of confidence and probably the best overall skill set to play the stretch 4. Looks like he has a decent drop step from the block as well. Not bad handles. I see his potential right now as better than the other two in D1. The fact that we were still recruiting him says a lot about what the coaches think about his potential.
After next year I could see Brooks at the 5 and Diarra at the 4. I would almost rather redshirt Diarra than Nsoseme to get the max years out of him. If we can land Bragg that would be great for depth and offense but I like this kid a lot more after finally watching some mix tapes.
