Rakim Lubin Commits to UConn!!!

[Hugo]

Knight was top 40. Jake was probably down in the 200s. Same with K-Free.



Not sure where you got KFREE being in the 200's. He was somewhere in the 50's or 60's.

 

[Kitaman]

Since he committed after watching practice we can assume that he is not afraid of hard work.

Or needs to major in psychiatry.

He was #4 this most recent year. This video is from the 2011-2012 season though.

Maybe he wore #32 in 2012 and wore #4 in 2013

Good catch. Hopefully he isn't #4 from that video he is SMALL.

 

[UConnLen]

Picure from a previous link taken 2/2013 clearly shows he's #4 past year. Certainly is solidly built and led team to upset over #1 AL team in the story along with full stat sheet. Welcome!

 

[PradaMane]

Is there any clips online of this kid?

No! He is a super secret weapon!

They were trying to book Ater Majok's chair for a workout video, but ever since Majok was drafted, the chair has raised its appearance fee.

Sounds like a new chairman of the board!

Looks like the "Rock" was creating space!! LOL

 

[TheRealKBuks]

Not sure if this has been mentioned but does anyone else think djct1999 is freescooter? Their negativity on everything is eerily similar

WTF people? A big strong kid, who played very well at the top level of basketball in Alabama and Georgia, and who was ranked top 50 by one service before an injury, just verballed to UConn. And some of you are bitching? There is not one shred of evidence that Kasongo is better than Lubin. Given that, you take the guy that fits and that wants to be in Storrs.

D Robinson looks to be a different player and would be high on the wish list, but yes, I suspect Kasongo will go elsewhere. So what? As the top program in the Big East, UConn rarely landed top 20 kids and McD AAs. Do you think we're going to start landing them more often now? In the American? With a second year coach replacing a hall of fame coach with three NCs? Hell Kasongo isn't one of those anyway, so I don't understand the angst.

I don't think so i think kasongo signs here . It would be confusing if he out chose Oregon, but it happens I guess. He just seems to have been gushing over his visit here, and not so much Oregon.

I get your overall point, but your second paragraph sounds like "we should lower our standards because we're in a terrible conference with an unproven coach." I don't think you really believe that, but it sounded odd.

My point is we can't expect Ollie to do better in the AAC (at bring in highly rated guys) than JC did in the Big East. His task is more difficult. So pissing and moaning about what looks like a darned good recruit to me, and likely the same kind of sleeper that Calhoun loved to find, is idiotic.

 

[basketballmom]

This kid is not 200lbs, he's already built like a grown man

this picture was taken during the summer of his AAU season when he played with the only Nike sponsered team in Alabama. He was only 15 years old at the time this picture was taken. Yes, his current weight of 245 is accurate. The mom! ]

 

[selles]

Welcome mom! We're delighted to have the chance to root for your son!

 

[Dove]

I thought that was a baby face.

 

[UConnDan97]

Let me second that motion! Welcome, mom!

 

[basketballmom]

thanks and we are proud to be a Huskie..

 

[tcf15]

thanks and we are proud to be a Huskie..

You are on the fast track to have a better like to post ratio than Fishy. Welcome mom and Rakim!

 

[Dove]

10 Toes in mom!!

 

[Peacefrog]

15!? Good Lord, I smell rebounds. Lots of 'em.

 

[Gurleyman]

And if there was a 'dislike' button for Fishy to counter some likes, it'd be basketballmom by a mile!
