2017 Recruiting: Chris Efretuei (7'1'' C)

[AntG168]

Can he rebound, not foul, and pass? Imo I don't want to handout schollies to any projects especially with the studs in '18. (How many open scholarships would we have next year with him if he committed?)

3 for 2017 and possibly as much as 6 for 2018 if im not mistaken(assuming jalen and terry leave)

Ok in that case maybe. Just don't want going after a project and wasting a scholarship

Let me offer you a reading from my latest work, titled "Beggars Can't Be Choosers..."

He was replying to this question.
"How many open scholarships would we have next year with him if he committed?"
He would take up 1 of the 4 current open scholarships, leaving 3 open for next year... if he commits.

Same difference.

They're agreeing to give Anderson a basketball scholarship.

Just different than a letter of intent in that it is a promise by the school to provide a scholarship, but there is no obligation on the part of the student to actually show up and accept it.

The tall kid appears to be 2018.

 

[SubbaBub]

seldom fumbles the basketball in traffic

Already an upgrade, if he can rebound send the jet for him.

 

[Chief00]

As for BB IQ... he at least knows to keep the ball in bounds when he blocks a shot.

Music to my ears.

 

[upstater]

I'd definitely take this kid on UConn.

 

[Kembacity]

Come on guys, we all know if he comes here and is awful and there are kids who want to come in, the staff will just squeeze him out politely like is done with projects at most good basketball schools around the country

we need bigs!!!

 

[HungryHuskies]

The only guys UConn will get for 2017 at this point are role players. They need front court depth so I'm all for this add.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

His twitter bio says 2017. Looks like he reclassed sometime in the past year.

Here's a fun read w/ some links: CLICKY!

"durable and protects the rim at a high level. He also sets great screens making it easy for guards to create switches or get off uncontested shots. He also slips and rolls really well in high screen situations. Lastly he also finishes at a high level and seldom fumbles the basketball in traffic."

Looks like he has West Virginia interest as well. Not sure the VerbalCommits list is 100% up to date.

Kid ran with Rens in the AAU circuit, so he's not an unknown.

But this isnt your preference at all right? If not mistaken you are all in on the grad transfers right? There have been better 2017's out there late.

I would have preferred Ondigo over this guy. Purdue was going after Ondigo pretty hard before his commit to Texas Tech. Then again Tech is landing some decent players late in 2017. None of them will start or play a ton of minutes either because of a solid returning nucleus at TT.

SMDH...lol

I'd like us to add a big man grad transfer and am concerned we haven't. I'd like to add another high-upside big like this kid or some other as well.

We have room for both now because of the defections.

He looks to be coachable and have tremendous upside. You put him aside Mamoudou D and there's a lot of rebounds blocks shots and easy buckets. Sign him asap

Sounds like you've seen this kid play. Any insights.

It's a good thing you end every post with "lol" otherwise I wouldn't realize they're so funny.

Can he be any worse than Briamah.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Yeah there's a chance that he's worse than Amida Brimah, third most prolific shot blocker in UConn history

Agree, he attempts to keep his hands straight up on defense and keeps the ball up high when he gets an offensive rebound and seems to be making a deliberate attempt to avoid traveling...clearly seems to be listening to his coaches, a very good sign!
