I get vibes from his game that he's like a Tatum or Jimmy Butler whereas Solo Ball is a Ja Morant or Westbrook. Obviously not saying they will be anywhere near as good as those players, just what stars they remind me of at a young age in terms of playing style and athleticism.He has all the pieces to be an elite player. Once he develops that competitive fire under our staff, he's going to be great.

Castle isn't a jump out of the gym athlete, neither are Tatum and Butler. He looks really skilled like them and uses his pace, size, and skill to get his buckets which is what they do. Solo Ball is an athletic freak who will be unstoppable in transition using his speed, hops, and body control near the rim to get his scores like they do.
I remember Jimmy Butler being an "okay" prospect his first 2 years at Marquette.Reminds me of Jimmy Butler.
Great comp. Haven’t heard anyone say it before. Definitely see the resemblance on the offensive package.Reminds me of Jimmy Butler.

Touché. Great comp to you too. Also I’m heavily debating changing my handle to “offensive package”.2023 Recruiting: - Stephon Castle
Dude is following quite a few unofficial UConn-related Twitter accounts and almost none from any other school. Could be nothing but can’t be a bad sign. Easier to watch all the meltdowns when he commits somewhere elsethe-boneyard.com
Can't believe I'm doing this but.....I knew I distinctly remembered saying this on here when I saw him at first.
I hope he can develop that fire. I tend to think “the fire” is innate in most players. You either have it or you don’t. Nonetheless, he’s going to be a great player if he keeps honing his craft.He has all the pieces to be an elite player. Once he develops that competitive fire under our staff, he's going to be great.
I’m much less stressed about recruiting HS students than I was before the Portal. It’s less critical and no need to take a flyer on a player to fill a slot. I’d rather take proven portal players and build around a couple Castles every year than put all our eggs into one basket of unproven hs players.
Aren't haikus supposed to be 5-7-5?Kid is a beast and love his size
Great to have him in a UConn uniform soon
For him not to be a 5* is ridiculous
He's not a poetAren't haikus supposed to be 5-7-5?
