Mamadou Doucoure Archives

Mamadou Doucoure, the 6-foot-9 big man from Mali and Our Savior New American High School, will reclass to 2017 from 2018 and enroll at Rutgers for this season, a source told ZAGSBLOG.

Rutgers plans to move forward with the reclass “unless the [NCAA] Eligibility Center tells them something different,” the source said.

The news was previously reported by the Asbury Park Press, which reported Doucoure is already enrolled at Rutgers, and other outlets.

Doucoure committed to Rutgers in December.

“I’m trying to work on my foot speed up and down and my post moves,” Doucoure said in February after putting up 12 points, 17 rebounds and five blocks in a 52-45 loss to Rutgers target Paul Mulcahy and Gill St. Bernard’s at the Metro Classic at Kean University.

Mamadou Doucoure Anxious to Help Rutgers Beginning in 2018

UNION, N.J. — Mamadou Doucoure plans to make an impact on the defensive end from the moment he steps on the Rutgers campus beginning in the 2018-19 season.

At 6-foot-9, the Mali native is a natural rebounder and shot-blocker who should help the Rutgers front line in the tough, physical Big Ten Conference.

But across the next year or so at Our Savior New American and with the PSA Cardinals AAU program, he wants to continue to develop his offensive game, which at the moment is still raw and developing.

“I’m trying to work on my foot speed up and down and my post moves,” Doucoure said after putting up 12 points, 17 rebounds and five blocks in a 52-45 loss to Rutgers target Paul Mulcahy and Gill St. Bernard’s on Saturday at the Metro Classic at Kean University.
