2015 Commit/Recruit Stat Tracker (Summer Version)

[3uconn]

Do we have any interest in Seventh? I would love to get him especially after the last guy we got from South Carolina.

I do not believe we do at this time.

Ollie in Colorado Springs today:
View attachment 6412

Is that JC with him?

 

[3uconn]

Is that JC with him?

Yup.

 

[CTBasketball]

Any word on Donovan Mitchell? Or are we out with him because of Adams?

 

[2Infinity]

Is that JC with him?

And it looks like JT3 behind Ollie and possibly K behind him to the right. Great to see JC out on the road with KO! Love how bonded they seem to continue to be.

 

[3uconn]

@JeffRabjohns: Boo Williams forward Chris Clarke is so much fun to watch play. Goes hard all the time, makes plays, versatile, defends.

 

[3uconn]

A couple assistants are watching Clarke right now.

 

[3uconn]

@BallasTV: Kevin Ollie just walked in and Jalen adams is killing once again

 

[3uconn]

@Rob_Harrington: Watching Justin Simon defend Jalen Adams offers a glimpse of his NBA future. Adams still getting the better of it tho. #super64

@coreyevans_10: Jalen Adams getting the cup at will. Such a good downhill scorer in traffic. Great guy for Ollie and crew for what they do

Anyone I talked to this summer in the aau circuit said he is a real catch for uconn

3uconn, what's your take on Clarke.

Is he really standing out as a high-motor, elite defender and versatile wing? I liked him from the clips and game I watched on TV, but he didn't wow me.

Jones just seems like a longer, and superior player and athlete, even though Clarke is a good athlete in his own right. Both seem to have about the same capability with the dribble. They both handle the ball well in transition and getting to the rim, but I didn't see a lot of breaking down their man off the bounce in the half-court.

In the Peach Jam game I saw, most of Clarke's points were either in transition or garbage put backs. His Boo Williams team didn't seem to look for him to create for himself. Maybe he'll be a good catch for whoever gets him, but Jones just looks like he's worth waiting for if UConn's chances still look good. I realize at some point you take the bird-in-the-hand. Is Clarke close enough a talent compared to Jones that he's worth pulling the trigger on soon at the expense of missing out on Jones? Just want to get your take on this.

*Jalen Adams (6-2/2015/Massachusetts Rivals/Ashburnham, MA, Cushing Academy):
Adams, who is committed to the University of Connecticut, was the most compete “traditionally sized” guard I saw Thursday, dropping 25 points with eight rebounds and seven assists in a four-point loss to Virginia’s Team Loaded. In the team’s second game of the day, he scored 30 points in a six-point win over Stackhouse Elite. He’s in the mold of all of the high-caliber guards Connecticut has put on the floor.

I love how the talk about Adams has developed this very "ho-hum" vibe, like "Yeah, of course he's going to be an awesome guard. He's going to Connecticut."

Someone on here wasn't impressed by his scouting report, so I'm not sure I can agree.

Nothing said or written about Adams to suggest otherwise.

Schools have taken notice as well, and right now, three are standing out to Comanche by how hard they're recruiting him.

"Arizona is definitely recruiting me hard, as is North Carolina State and UCLA," Comanche said. "I actually have an official visit planned to Arizona in September."

Also noticed this tweet from a west coast recruiting guy:

I see somebody put that Chance to NC State Crystal Ball. #Smart

Goodman does not have command of facts, as usual.

Battle is 2016.

Battle is 2016.

Hmmm... that may be why he put Battle on the list of 2016 players.

Maybe you should investigate further.

Am I reading this wrong? It sure looks like Goodman listed Battle as '16.
