Mount St. Mary’s basketball coach Jamion Christian was thrilled to hear Mawdo Sallah committed to Kansas State on Monday.
After coaching Sallah for three years, it was difficult for Christian to say goodbye to the 6-foot-9 junior forward that helped the Mountaineers become an NCAA Tournament team when Sallah requested to transfer two months ago. But Christian says Sallah is capable of more, and he thinks he will do big things with the Wildcats.
“They are getting a guy who can come in right away and make an impact and help,” Christian said in a phone inteview.
