Luguentz Dort

[KembaStepback]

Per Borges: Ricky Moore headed down to see this kid play. Apparently Ricky is good friends with his coach. 4* recruit. Scout has him at #70 in the class of '18 and he's listed at 6'3.

247 just bumped him to 11th in the class of 2018, obviously making him a 5 star recruit. Let's hope Ricky has an in here.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I want him just for the name.

I'm sold on this kid. Looks strong and tough as nails.

The New Haven Register Blogs: UConn Men's Basketball Blog: UConn to check out Class of 2018 guard Luguentz Dort

UConn assistant Ricky Moore will head down to Orlando and see Dort on Thursday morning, according to Conrad coach Shaun Wiseman. Moore and Wiseman are good friends, dating back to when the two were assistant coaches for the Charlotte Royals AAU team about six years ago.

Ayala reeves and dort. Year of the big guard ?

Here is a link to some video. He isn't particularly explosive but super strong. He looks like a grown man already. Looks like a really nice player. We are on some top guards in 2018.

He's going to be a five star player and hasn't played on any Canadian natl teams? Any background on why his stock sky rocketed?

Edit ~ Luguentz Dort in 6 games @ adidas Nations averaged 11.3 ppg on 53% shooting from field. 1/10 from 3PT land. 13/21 from FT line. #CdnBallers

"Conrad has some other prospects, including 7-foot-2 Aristide Boya from Cameroon, who Moore will take a look at, as well."

Interesting.

Weird, UConn and Louisville are going after the same guard. I guess there is a first for everything.

Interesting.

2 great names for sure

Pronounced ah-ree-STEE-day. This is a regular name in some parts of the world, Eastern Europe. The Balkans.

Kid has that Lance Stephenson build.

Kid has that Lance Stephenson build.

I was trying to think of some comps, which is my go-to thing...

But I was seeing his game and thought of Joe Johnson, with his physical, but somewhat more deliberate offensive style and physical build.

But then I thought he's already 2 inches taller and he plays a BIT more of a 4-type style with some outside game, whereas JJ is basically a wing type player.

So long story short, the best I came up with was JJ's game with like a ... I'm not sure who's body, a strong PF.

Scientific has a brother named Majestic.

This kid looks like if you took Patric Young from UF and shrunk him down into a 2 guard.
