A taller Ryan Perryman is playing in the league. One of my all time favorite flyers, it was remarkable how consistent he was.

I wonder what the strength and conditioning coach has in store for him. He is going to need to beef up if he wants to bang with Policelli...

They'll probably defer to him to actually devise a program for the rest of the team...

Never knew if this rumor was true, I heard it long ago.. JD was a pepsi drinker, and sometimes when, on those rare occasions, when he wasn't thrilled with his performance.. the next couple days when he passed the Coca Cola machine, he would stand and Stone Cold Steve Austin stare at it, like he was ready to tear the thing apart.... that's what I heard, I like that attitude..

can't wait to see him on court next year... The tweet listed him at 6'8", but in the interview announcing the signing, it has him at 6'10"... is it possible he has grown 2 inches since they recruited him?

UD's article about the signing says 6'10"... I would say he is definitely closer to that than 6'8"

I'm excited about next season already. Watson, Chatman, Tshimanga, Sissoko, Policelli. We'll be loaded. I'm not looking past this season, just excited for the future.

Figured I'd share this since there aren't many highlights of Sissoko out there. Moulaye doing his thing at the Tarkanian Classic. Nice dunk around the 20 second mark. Big guy, a lot of power and quite a bit of bounce. Excited to see him join the Flyers.

I looked pretty hard on the internet and could find very little. After 6 games he was at about 7 pts and 7 rebounds per game. He does not appear to be much of a scorer or shooter, but on those type of teams the guards and shooters dominate play.

In the recent past I remember watching Flyer games and most times we seemed to just be out-bulked. I loved a lot of our players at the time but we could be out-muscled. Big Steve was the exception. (RIP)

I don’t know if any of these new guys can play, but we finally have a whole bunch of bulk in this program.

I have wondered how much skill and ability he has with no real numbers known or published anywhere. But looking at the picture, if he has any reasonable speed we don't need him to score points.
He needs to box out, grab a few boards on D. On offense clear out a lane for Obi, or the guards, grab misses for put backs. That would be just fine.
He can work on footwork and shooting as he gets time.

Several recruiting services said he was a bit raw on offense, but one of the top rebounders in the 2019 class.

At UD he'll get 4 (5?) years to work on low post moves and a mid range jumper. Early on he just needs to swat and alter shots, grab rebounds, set picks, and keep an eye on the ball for a quick feed leading to a dunk.

Looks like a St Louis or VCU body, and at 6"10". I hope he has decent court speed and hops. The rest can be taught.

Sorry if I missed this, but could someone explain to me why I can't find stats on him from 2018-19?

I’m going to make a prediction based on AG’s rep in developing big men: by his senior year, Sissoko will be borderline A-10 first team & getting some NBA buzz.

He’ll also be the next in an increasing stream of talented bigs we’re going to see at UD under Grant.

I can only assume it's bad record keeping on the school he attended

The numbers don't pass the litmus test

They list him at 6'10 and 220 lbs. From his pictures I have to believe that he is shorter than 6'10", or he weighs at least 235.

Based on that pic, if he's shorter, he'd have to be 5'10" to weigh 220

The announcers mentioned that they thought that Sissoko had recently lost some weight.

Oh my...I am dreuling over the possibiltiy of he and Obi being at the 4 and 5 slots together! Sissoko has more strength and size than Josh Cunningham.

We need to remember Sissoko will be a raw freshman. Also, I watched the video and don't remember seeing him get any rebounds or block any shots (if I missed them I apologize). To me, he still looks like a redshirt year would be his best position next year--especially if Obi is back.

I firmly disagree with the idea of redshirting him.

Though I agree that he may be raw and lacking some skills, he clearly can move and most importantly, his size is undeniable. Redshirting is best used, in my opinion, on those needing a year of development physically. I don’t think he needs that. Real experience would do him well.

With his tools, I see him capable of influencing the outcome of at least a couple of games this year. What more can you ask of a freshman?

You do know we have a 6'11'' transfer, (Tshimanga) who will be eligible this year right? So while his size is undeniable, it is also something we have. Big men always take longer to develop and it seems that we have the luxury of letting him take his time.

I'd love to see him play this year, but I'd love to see what a year of development on the scout team would lead to. I love that he's a Flyer.


As mentioned, AG has a reputation for developing bigs (Horford, Noah, Haslem to name a few). I'm confident whatever Grant recommends will be in Sissoko's best interests, as well as for the Flyer's team.

Corey Evans, a prominent analyst for Rivals.com, said this about Sissoko when he committed:

"Dayton fans have reason to be excited for the commitment of Moulaye Sissoko. Arguably one of the top rebounders in the 2019 class. Should bring toughness and energy right from the start for the Flyers"

If Moulaye can run the floor, play defense and rebound, I think he should be in the line up on day one. It is true that we will have Tshimanga and Obi, but one more big is a beautiful thing and a luxury we have not had for a while. Most importantly, it will allow AG to play aggressive defense all game long, a preferred option that has been shelved due to personnel limitations over the past two seasons.

Tai Young said that? I'll be surprised if he plays more than one year at UD before he turns pro in that case, (that is sarcasm as I have never heard of Tai Young or the recruiting service he works for). In any event, my point wasn't that he can't play this year, it was that we may not NEED him to.

There is nothing better than a kid you weren't relying on forcing his way into the lineup. Believe me I hope that is the case, but even then how many forwards are going to get playing time? Toppin, Mikesell, Johnson, Watson (wing I guess techincally). I would say that at 6'10" 285 Moulaye could play some at the 5, but Tai Young says he's a forward so that's out.

I appreciate that and my sarcasm was over the top but I was having flashbacks of all the wonderful things recruiting services have said about kids over the years and then well...

I never understand why some bring up the ‘player agreed to’ red shirt so often. Just doesn’t happen. When was the last non-injury, transfer or academic red shirt we’ve had at UD as compared to how many names have been suggested for that route. Frankie may have been the exepction had things been different last year.

I’m thinking KW but can’t remember if he walked on or red shirted his Freshman year.

MS should plan, practice, and prepare to play significant minutes next year.

Mikesell is a 3 if all those guys are eligible and serviceable. Toppin will play as many minutes as he can handle at the 4, Johnson is tall and talented at the 4 and we may not be able to keep him on the bench if he's as good as advertised, Sissoko is a big bodied backup at center, and Tshimanga is the presumptive starter at center.

We're loaded for bear with big men. Trey and Mikesell better shoot 500 3's per day this summer because if they can't shoot I'm not sure how they'll earn minutes.

When is the last time we could walk through the airport with 6'11" (Jordy), 6'9" (Johnson), 6'9" (Obi), 6'10" (Sissoko)? I'm not saying they're all future NBA all-stars but that's a lot of height.

Doesn't matter how many Trey shoots, imo.Would just like to see him hit any shot outside 12-15 feet. Mikesell can hit 3's alright now but a few hundred a day can lift him up a few % points.

Ryan Mikesell shot 33.3% as a frosh, 33.3% as a soph, 33.9% as a RS Junior, safe to assume he's going to shoot about 33% as a senior. Not terrible, certainly not great. Its his 2 pt% that is interesting, from 77.8% as a frosh (but less than 1 attempt a game) down to 53.5% as a soph (2.7 attempts per game, but also injured more than we realized at the time) back up to 68.1% as a junior (3.4 attempts per game). Ryan has obviously put a lot of time in at the weight room, I don't think UD really wants him camping out at the 3 point line, but continuing to bulk up and attack the rim for the best shot available.

Ryan has obviously put a lot of time in at the weight room, I don't think UD really wants him camping out at the 3 point line, but continuing to bulk up and attack the rim for the best shot available.
Good stats there...I know he was hurt as a soph. with a bad wrist. I have no idea how many 3's he or anyone shoots in the off-season but this will be his 1st year in a long time with zero trepidation going into the season, finally healthy and fully confident so I'd bet he'll shore up his game nicely and work more extensively on things he may have been limited on previously.

I hear you. But, if he's not playing time at center like he sometimes did with our lack of size (only a slight exaggeration), he might have a little more lift in the legs, a little more strength from another season in the weight room, and maybe a bit less pressure on his shot with some guys who can score inside.



A man can dream, can't he?

With all those guys in the middle, if I'm the coaching staff, I tell the wings:

If you take a three, with more than five seconds left on the shot clock, that does not originate from an inside-out pass, your ass is sitting on the bench.

I'm glad AG is our coach and not you then. The game isn't played with the back to the basket anymore. Spread the floor and teach the bigs to pick and pop or pick and roll hard to the basket.

If my wing shoots 30% plus and passes up a wide open 3 at any point in the shot clock, he'll find his butt on the bench.

I’m thinking KW but can’t remember if he walked on or red shirted his Freshman year.

MS should plan, practice, and prepare to play significant minutes next year.

Understand your reasining and agree with you but I need my wings shoot a little better than 30% to fire it up anytime.

I wouldn’t put too much stock in anyone being classified as a “forward” vs. a “center”. In today’s game, the term “center” almost has a stigma attached to it, so that it’s code for “big, slow, unskilled player”.

Sort of like when you were younger, and someone wanted to set you up on a blind date, and you’d hear “She has a great personality”. That, of course, was code for “She won’t win any beauty contests, even if she’s the only entrant”. And I say that as a guy who had “a great personality”.

No, for as revered as the Center was back in the days of Russell, Chamberlain, and Kareem, the Center is almost that derided now. So, nearly every big player with any skill whatsoever is now classified as a Forward.

This is spot on and with the departure of JD takes on a lot more significance.

Mikesell

I have seen posts on several threads already about his minutes being limited, down, what his role will be, etc.....

The only debate I see with Ryan is will he play 26 to 30 minutes a game or 30 plus minutes a game? You do not put a senior leader who led the team in +/- rating by a wide margin and has his on the court IQ on the bench for more than a couple minute breather, ever.

I was a person who (respectfully)suggested that Ryan's physical limitations would cause him problems and I hoped that we would not have to depend on him too much last year. I took that all back very early in the season, he just gets the job done. That said, if Johnson and Watson (and others) are as good as advertised, Ryans's minutes MAY go down. I trust the coaching staff to evaluate who the guys are that give us the best chance to win. Nobody deserves playing time based on time in service or any other measurement that does not directly relate to winning. This isn't little league.

While I generally agree, Larry Nance led the Cavs last year. I don't think that makes him untouchable for next season.

My point being, I fully expect him to be a solid contributor at the 3 and play a lot of minutes. But past performance is not an indicator of future results in this instance whenever we've got a new starting F/C, our most electric player didn't figure out how to play until after the mid-point of last season, our starting SG will be a new player who is closer to Mikesell in height and hopefully better than Jordan's pedestrian numbers, one of Mikesell's backups last year looked so awful that he could barely crack a 7 man rotation to make it 8, etc.

I'm just saying, put Mikesell on the GS Warriors and he's not going to have the same +/-. We've got a lot of new players next year and last year's team was not exactly a final 4 team, so the dynamics might change.

Another way of saying this is you would hope in a perfect world your incumbent reserves and newbies would be good enough to push starters for their position at some point in the season. That's what breeds success in most cases. Take the number off the jersey in practice and see who brings it, and reward their efforts in some way. Even a returning captain should appreciate that approach. No pouting allowed. I would like to see Ibi excel and push Trey. A healthy Chase Johnson should have Mikesell in his crosshairs. Same with Rodney Chatman and Crutcher.

Against an off year in the A10 we did pretty well at 13-5. Against a stronger ooc we were a paltry 8-7.

We avoid that definition of insanity by promoting competition at every position and may the best player win. We get better as a team, and what an awesome bench we cultivate in the process.

Go Flyers !

I think the nice thing about the situation depth wise now is that Sissoko doesn't have to be counted to come in and be a savior/major minutes guy off the bat. If he earns it and can do then great but with Jordy/Obi/Chase they can give him some minutes off the bench and bring him along at his own pace

I dare say this but I think what we would be looking for what would be a Devin Scott freshman year contribution (on the court Rollo). Limited minutes but they were needed at times.

Moulaye Sissoko's uniform looks like some kid silk screened it in his basement. Embarrasing.

Nobody has any idea how this dude will pan out. Could be a man child, could be Adedeji, could be somewhere in between.

Ive been pretty pleased with Grant's eye for talent however. Most of the guys he's brought in since the mass exodus in Archie's departure have made us better. That should be most apparent this year w/the transfers getting eligible. I'll trust his decision to bring him in. If nothing else, his Bama teams were beefy and physical so its not a surprise he seems to be recruiting that way at UD.

Excerpts
Lincoln Academy coach Bryan Lippman described Sissoko as a solid low-post scorer who’s further developing his skill set.\\
“He can score on the blocks,” Lippman said. “He can rebound. He’s a phenomenal athlete. He runs the floor like a deer. He’s as strong as an ox. The ability to do a lot of those things translates well for a freshman. He’s developing his shot a little better. He’s developing his handle a little bit better. His best basketball is still way ahead of him, but he’s a darn-good player now.”
Just reading up on our players. This article just resonates with everything we are hoping for the next several seasons. With Jordy, Chase, and Moulaye we have added almost 20 feet of bigs!

I was watching TV last night. I was watching my recording NFL football games. Why am I watching recorded football games from last year? Because my choices are either women’s sand volleyball or baseball. Both of the which, bore me to tears. I watched one of the best wide receivers in the game drop a pass. I thought to myself, why? Maybe the wind was blowing? No, it is an indoor stadium. I decided that it was as loss of focus. Perhaps, it was the knowledge that a 310 pound monster of a human who can run at Olympic speed is on the other team. When the wide receiver heard those footsteps, it caused a moment of loss of focus. Those foot steps could mean impending pain.

I think this is the value that Tshimanga and Sissoko will bring to the team in this upcoming year.

Nothing boring about women's sand volleyball. Nothing.

Except for the 90% of the points being: serve, receive, set, kill. Hardcourt 6-player volleyball, that is some good action.

A funny story about Beach Volleyball. Several years ago I took my 15 and 14 yr old daughters and 12 yr old son to a beach volleyball tournament down at Kings Island. My daughters were excited to go. My son, not so much. After about 15 minutes there, my son leaned over to me and said “there’s a little bit here for everyone dad”.
