2023 Recruiting: Gavin Griffiths at todays game

[superjohn]

Maybe it's just the angle, but he looks reasonably athletic to me.

He needs to get quicker/stronger which will come with his body maturing inside a college program but he certainly is athletic, not sure about head level at the rim like the angle of the pic but he has ups. He can do 360's and put it between his legs in warm-ups and I've seen him catch an alley oop from a pass near the halfcourt sideline, he dunks from a standstill under the hoop with ease. It's rare to have a hometown kid who is this talented and I badly want Griffiths to be a part of the program.

Saw a couple Tyler Polley comparisons on the board, he's not like Polley. He's a much better talent and he plays with a confidence/edge that I like. You can also tell he's a good kid, his teammates really like him and other recruits like him and respect his game.

His hip mobility is probably more of the things limiting his athleticism that pure vertical. He doesn't turn and spring the way you'd hope for from a SG/SF right now. It'll come though--I like our S&C guy so far.

I miss coach Mike’s update pictures but hopefully this guy is making similar progress with our players behind the scenes

Warm weather???

 

[Huskyforlife]

Well that stinks. What’s the backup plan at this point?

 

[WeAreUCONN]

What is the percentage that he picks UConn?

 

[HooperScooper]

Warm weather???

I hate to tell him but Providence and Michigan don't have warm weather. Well the summers are fine.

Ha. I wouldn't put much stock into that. UConn, Providence, Michigan, and Iowa aren't exactly considered warm.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

I don’t even worry about recruiting with Hurley here now.

 

[Umami Zen]

Looking for Duke/Kentucky offers like TBB?

Don't get me wrong.. Like the kid's skills

 

[mauconnfan]

He looks to be a great shooter. I’m worried because we need shooters badly.

 

[karstenkibbe]

It would be a supreme buzzkill to see GG and Bowen matriculate to Providence together.

 

[kansashusky]

Slater does this from time to time. Says things to make it seem like he is wide open so kid can enjoy the process.

I think he will be ours.

 

[TeasenDonut]

Hopefully our apparent loss of interest from Bol Bowen hasn’t affected this recruitment.

Chief has left this recruitment up to @Hans Sprungfeld. Hans, good luck and don’t mess it up!!
