Coach's Comments: Ousmane has the skills that every coach wants in a big man. He can finish above the rim, goes after rebounds on both ends, knock down open jumpers, has a solid post game and alters shots on the defensive end. In addition, he works hard on improving the different aspects of his game that will bring him success. He should be the bog man that we have been needing in our program for quite some time.


NEWS & NOTABLES

September 2011 (from FloridaHoops.com) -NTF Workout - Ousmane Ba (Rock School), 2012, C, 6'11
Ba has unique mobility for a high school player which his size.  Relatively new to the game, Ba is improving on the offensive end and showed signs of development with some moves with his back to the basket.  The 6'11 senior has good upper body strength and can change shots in the lane and dominate the defensive glass.

September 2011 (from SourceHoops.com) -NTF Workout - Ousmane Ba – 2012 6’11 C – Gainesville The Rock School: Ba has only been in the states seven months. He is still a bit raw and getting used to the fast pace of the game.  Still, Ba’s physical attributes are things that can’t be taught.  He runs the floor pretty well, is a deterring shot blocker, and is active on the glass at both ends.  Ba did show an okay touch with both hands around the rim and though he doesn’t always complete plays inside, you can’t knock his effort.  His best days are obviously ahead of him.
