UConn is the latest to offer 2014 SG Brandone Francis, who had a breakout weekend at the Adidas Exclusive Run.

Here's a breakdown from ESPN on his performance from the event:

Top Performer
Brandone Francis (Jacksonville, Fla./Arlington Country Day)
2014, PG, 6-5, 205
Those who knew about him in advance expected a breakthrough performance. However, many were taken by his new look (he’s down 18 pounds) and his renewed approach. At 6-foot-5 and more than 200 pounds, Francis is an outlier for the point guard position. It's easy to see he's taken the Deron Williams approach to the position. Their release points, body styles, mid-range games and mannerisms are similar. Francis plays with the outward passion of Greivis Vasquez. He's a big scoring point who you have to see more than once to appreciate his aptitude and fit at the point. The event's MVP, Francis should become an upper-tier prospect overnight. Florida, Miami, Illinois, Kansas State, Georgetown, LSU, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are all involved.
