C Udoka Azubuike [No Interest]

[UConNick]

Article is from 5 days ago, and Insider, but it details the journey Azubuike has been on. One thing I found interesting is that he apparently lists us in a de facto top 5. I know we offered him at one point a while ago, but I've never seen him mentioned with us from a real article. Basically, is there anything real here? He's a true 5 and a beast.

"Azubuike listed Florida State, Kansas, North Carolina, UConn and Florida, while also mentioning he spoke to Duke last month."

"At 6-foot-10 and 280 pounds, Azubuike is an absolute load for opponents to defend in the low post. Nothing about his game is finesse; Azubuike is power, power, power."

All I want is size in a big... Please...

Big time FSU lean I thought. Absolute monster though.

This is a big boy

His frame looks amazing, really hope we are on him. He reminds me of Andrew Bynum's size and build.

 

[HuskyFich]

I want him, and I want him now.

Surprisingly, Kentucky is in his crystal ball predictions but he didn't list them? Is 247 as simple as thinking since Kentucky offered him, he must be going there?

Wow what a beast this guy is. Didn't hear much about his until here - never know huh?

They seem to always do that. You would be hard pressed to find a guy with a Kentucky offer that doesn't have at least 1 crystalball pick going to Kentucky.

This kid is Gianormous! I hope he stand a real chance at landing him. Would be amazing to have him in the front court with the talent we already have here.

Not a good sign when he does not list us.

Yea just saw that. Oh well. On to the next one? Still would be nice if we were in the fold somehow. Maybe some magic will be worked behind the scenes? Wishful thinking... I like our squad anyways, but man that kid is a load.

Scary thing about this kid is that he isn't even 16 years old yet...

We should be all over this kid... It'd be nice to incorporate a skilled big man with all the backcourt talent we already have coming in... would keep teams a little more honest down low in a half court set against us...
