He has starter potential, but Kendricks has been so good. We've been spoiled.Maelstrom88 wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 8:08 am I could see the team moving on from Kendricks after this season and this guy becoming a starter.
I will be surprised if they do, Kendricks have many years leftMaelstrom88 wrote: ↑Sun May 01, 2022 8:08 am I could see the team moving on from Kendricks after this season and this guy becoming a starter.
For what it’s worth, I saw Asamoah play a fair amount here in Iowa, as he went up against Iowa State several times. He’s a little small (although at 6-0, 220, he’s essentially the same size as EK at 6-0, 227) but he’s a beast. Makes plays all over the field. Basically, a pretty big thorn in the Cyclones’ side.Pondering Her Percy wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 7:29 am I really liked this pick. Asamoah is FAST sideline to sideline and has great play recognition. I'm glad we went here because our depth was very underwhelming. I've never been a Troy Dye or Connelly fan. I did like what I saw from Blake Lynch last year but he's suited more as a special teamer.
Ya I heard that too but couldnt understand what. Is it nationality?VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 11:11 am By various comments I've heard listening to draft stuff it seems that Kwesi and Asamoah have something in common, but I couldn't quite figure out what it is. Can somebody help me?

Both are Black. I don't know if African American applies because their heritage might not be African. Heritage from the same country? Something about ethnicity?
I did a little checking and found out that Kwesi's ethnicity is Ovambo and sometimes referred to as Namibian. However, not all Namibians are Ovambo and not all Ovambo are Namibian's. It is a southern African tribe.
I found out that Brian is of Ghanaian heritage. I don't know if the two are related, but I'm thinking they can be as Ovambo is considered southern Africa and Ghana is southwestern Africa.
I did a little more checking and finally confirmed that both have Ghanaian heritage.
I read the part about Brian wanting to shake Kwesi's hand, but nothing was said about the Ghanaian connection where I read it before. However, if Kwesi let that influence him and it turns out Nakobe Dean is a much better player that would be very bad.vikeinmontana wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 12:40 pmhttps://sports.yahoo.com/try-not-cry-wa ... p_catchallVikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 11:48 am

Pretty cool.
