I spoke with JUCO 7-footer Aziz Ndiaye this evening as he was waiting for his connecting flight in Salt Lake City. I didn't realize he'd be getting home so late so I told him I'd catch up with him tomorrow, but we discussed his weekend briefly and he seemed as if he had a great time on his visit.
He mentioned he felt Oklahoma was a great option for him. He got along with everybody in Norman and mentioned there were a lot of great young players who he'd be playing with throughout his time in Norman, if it were his destination. He seemed like he got some real quality time with coach Capel, as well.
Overall, I believe the visit put Oklahoma in great position to sign him, but it's only his first visit. There is still plenty of time for others to get involved in the process, but Ndiaye has admitted he knows very little about these collegiate programs (coming from overseas) and the Sooners definitely put their best foot forward this weekend.
I'll catch up with him tomorrow evening, if all goes as planned, and I'll put together something with quotes from the big man himself at that time.
