Not a 2014 recruit but Prince had 24 points, 9 steals, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists in a win yesterday his brother told me. He missed his last two games with a slightly sprained knee but he's good to go again.
 
City of Palms recap- http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/ncbrecruiting/on-the-trail/post?id=7977

Next-Best Scorer
Daniel Hamilton (Bellflower, Calif./St. John Bosco)
2015, SF/SG, 6-6, 185
Signed with UConn
Hamilton is a very good natural scorer. The hardest thing to guard in basketball is a guy who can get his own shot from anywhere, and Hamilton is one of those guys. He is the last of the famous Hamilton brothers (Jordan Hamilton is in the NBA and Isaac Hamilton is at UCLA). Daniel has the ability to be an immediate-impact player at Connecticut next year.

Love the thread - does anybody know anything about the level of competition these guys are facing? Sounds like we may have stolen one in Lubin.
 
@burrellee3: Dorsey 27pts, 6ast
Zaid 4pts
Hamilton 13pts, 12rebs, 6ast
Jackson 18pts
Tate 5pts, 3 blks
LeBlanc 2pts
Preston 10pts

That reads like a third-grader's report on his summer vacation.

He is very good. He has brothers. He will be very good next year, too.

Well....thanks for breaking that down for us, ESPN!

Because he Tweeted he was? Or the LOI finally showed up?

He's been committed for months now. I'm not sure what the misunderstanding is. He didn't sign his LOI because he couldn't get fully cleared in time. They were having troubles getting everything from his old school in time and they couldn't get everything ready by the end of the early signing period.

No one seems to be recording Rack. Where is UCONNMOM when you need her. "MOM send us some vids of your kid"!

I believe if you scour the Internet, you'll find plenty of recorded rack. Just clear your browser history after.

And Lubin's mom was wise to stop coming by here. Don't think it's a wise for parents to mingle with fans over message boards.
 
Is it just me that Dan Hurley reminds another Hamilton guy, but bigger and stronger?
 
3UConn, do you know if we are recruiting any "shooters"... seems like we have a lot of 2Gs & swingman coming in who are great at taking it to the rim, with solid ball handling abilities (Purvis, Hamilton, Ali, Cassell), but it would be nice to have a knock down outside shooter, especially when we are in zone situations.... I'd love an outside shooting, pure PG. (ie Napier like player). Thoughts?

Not 3, but partial answer:

2014 Cassell and Hamilton can shoot the three. Cassell falls more in the Napier type of shooter and Hamilton in the Hamilton type (better range, less of a runner around screens, maybe that's more like Lamb). Neither are Ray Allen. Rodney is a decent set shooter from three, not going to pull up or curl around a screen for one though.

2015 Ali is more of a slasher right now. Probably Dyson is his best comparison.

UConn recruited/is recruiting a few pure shooters in 2015. One has verballed to exCuse in Richardson, who is a very good shooter, but does lack handle. The other off the top of my head is Bennie Boatwright, but haven't heard much on recruiting of him by UConn recently. Not sure who the best shooting PG UConn is recruiting: Mitchell and Adams aren't known for their shots. Dorsey can shoot but I'm not sure he would fall in the pure shooter realm. Personally wouldn't mind quite a few of UConns guard recruits but would love to grab the Cali pair of Boatwright and Dorsey. Throw in one of the Cali bigs for good measure.

Don't know about 2016.

The PG from Ct in 2017 is a pure shooter but he's down the line quite a bit. Pray he grows a few inches and chooses UConn if he develops as expected.

Thanks for the info, Caw! I agree with your analysis! Seems like Cassell is the best shooter coming in, but I've seen a lot of "combo guard" reviews of him & he seems like a great player regardless. I was really hoping for Richardson, but he seemed like a long shot, probably because he would be in competition with Hamilton, if DHam returned. Boatwright seems like a shooter, but it seems his status has slipped, probably more so because he is less athletic, but I'd take him in a heartbeat. I think Bennie could really blend in with team. Dorsey seems to be another great ball handling ball guy, with Q's about his outside shot. Give me Bennie, Dorsey & a rugged PF/C coming in for the 2015 class & I would be very happy.
