2019 Recruiting: Tre Mitchell

[kansashusky]

He was on campus for an unofficial yesterday.

I really like his game, and if we miss on Kofi, I would really like to land him. Growing into his body with great hands. Not an elite athlete, but moves well.

 

[UConnStats]

EYBL Stats: 10.1/8.2/2.2, 51% 2PT and 29% 3PT, 0.8 STL and 1.2 BLK per game.

 

[YoungFree]

Get em!

 

[RipCity]

Mack, Brey, and McDermott are on this guy. They all really know offense. I’m down for a center with some skill after the endless march of bricklayers we’ve sent out in recent memory.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Interesting that Pitt isn't on the list

 

[kansashusky]

I’m hearing that Notre Dame leads, and Louisville has made up ground, but we are firmly in the mix.

Really selling the same thing to Delaire and Mitchell.

Heard they’re all over Wahab, but still I’m surprised too.

 

[gtcam]

Can't let a player with CT ties escape..............
I've heard that before
This kid has a HUGE upside - like him a lot
Don't let him slip away Dan Hurley

I guess he cut his list to 6: Illinois, UConn, Louisville, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, and Villanova

Woodstock's Mitchell Is Sizzling This Summer | Prep Hoops
Newly-minted UConn head coach Dan Hurley, eager to resurge a putrid Huskies program which slogged through a 30-35 (16-20 AAC) record in the recently ousted Kevin Ollie’s last two seasons, has been a consistent presence in Mitchell’s recruitment. At the same rate, Louisville head coach Chris Mack and Notre Dame’s Mike Brey have been quite consistent. It’s been whittled down to those six right now, with no clear favorite emerging just yet.

Those are some big names

Some harsh words for the program. 2 really bad years for sure but I wouldn't call the program putrid.

 

[UconnU]

Once he gets his body in shape he's going to be a really solid college player. Can't keep losing these top CT kids.

Impressive list of academic institutions... and Louisville

I would love to land Wahab, you think we're really in the conversation?

“They’re” as in Pitt is all over Wahab

 

[uconnbill]

He is probably 1B after Cockburn. I would not have an issue with his commitment at all.

Do you see him as a center in college? I see him trimming some weight and playing the 4. I don't think he's an inch taller than 6'7.

I love undersized 4/5's who know how to play. These are the guys who destroyed us for years and years. Danya Abrams, Craig Smith, Demetri Hill, Dajuan Blair, Chevy Troutman, Mario Bland, Charles Minlend, Bonzie Colson, etc. If you are not tremendously athletic, are undersized, but still dominate it means you know how to play. Chances are you are not going to be an NBA player, but you can be Jeff Adrien. Sign me up for that.

Good stuff boog and BC had one all the time it seemed - don't forget McCready.

I always regarded Jeff Adrien as a two-fer: in addition to enjoying his contributions to UCONN success, I didn't have to endure him crushing us twice yearly if he'd played for a rival.

The one that comes to my mind the most is Lonny Baxter of Maryland. We played them twice that year once in a pre-season tourny and he dropped 24 and 10 on us. Then met them again in the elite 8 and he dropped 29 and 9 on us. Just boddied a young Emeka all day. He was only 6'7 but 260.

And I forgot a more recent one with Gary Clark. He was a double-double machine against us.

Dont forget the kid from Wagner who beat us up inside.
