How come UConn never gets lucky and have a kid grow 5 inches over the summer?

UConn Men's Insider: An Update On Incoming Recruits Carlton, Polley, Ashton-Langford

Carlton's shooting 83% from the floor, eh? Gotta love those high school stats. Kid's going to help us though.

 

[ctchamps]

Looking like Carlton can be the big UConn needs. Hopefully the light turns on quickly for him at the college level.

Our bigs next year are extremely raw compared to now so I'm hoping that we are well covered. Who would have thought that we would be missing Brimah and Facey the way our year started? They seem to be emerging before our very eyes. Not me I have to admit.

Not sure yet, JD could regain real form and replace Facey's production and SE has much more upside than AB. He'll never be the shot blocker but he's a much better low post offensive player and can become a solid defender and rebounder. I've never been a huge AB shot block fan in the sense he goes after tons he shouldn't and is out of position for rebounds and easy put backs. Rehashed tons here, but career wise a 7 footer playing in non-P5 league averages 4 RPG

Plus, there will be a lot of TL @ the 4 too when they go small.

Who took over your body?

 

[Pudge]

where is mini - Rashad Anderson when you need him ?

 

[Fishy]

I do not know a blessed thing about Polley.

I did see a DeMatha game online and was pretty impressed with Carlton. He's smart, moves well and has a frame that will easily carry more muscle. My uneducated guess is that he outperforms his ranking.

One of my old friends has a son playing prep ball and he saw them play against Brewster - he raved about MAL.

Why, did these guys shrink?

 

[Stinger92860]

We need a Rashad Anderson type badly.

Hilton grew 18".

Hilton grew 18".

Wrong. Hilton grew at a precise rate of 1 Hilton Unit per annum.

 

[huskyblooz]

Anybody going up to Springfield this weekend?
Carlton plays on Saturday and Ashton-Langford on Sunday.
Almost every ranked team in the country will be there.

No. Hilton reached a maximum height of 1 Hilton Unit. He grew at a pace of 1 Hilton Growth Unit per year.

As my physics prof used to say, never mix up your units!

I learned a lot from that one 2-minute highlight video

I wonder how MAL is shooting from the free throw line. He was under 60% last year. He's the highest risk PG we've recruited in a long time IMO. I'm worried about his TOs, and his shooting both from the stripe and 3.

He'll have a year to study under Jalen and Alterique. He most likely won't do much his freshman year, but I'm not worried about him long-term.
