Kid has serious athleticism/ups, look at his head on this block from yesterday.

Sometimes the irrational exuberance can get the best of you. I start thinking how this top player, who I'm sure will be a 5-star before it's over, wants to come here. They close the deal and you know that will open the flood gates. Then you think how we have the best class ever coming in next season, and you wonder. Is this a bridge year?

Not a bridge year - this team still has upside. Challenge is a core part of this team was recruited when we didn’t have nearly the clout and more developmental.

I guess my point is we're still this good coming off a title and a monster class coming in. In the old days, the bridge year was the NIT.

Very true - the JC years were clockwork win it, exodus and reload for next run in 3/4 years.

Yes. We never made it to the Tilted Kilt because the staff were all friends of my buddy's daughters.
I never made it either, but it makes for a good landmark on a board of mostly men.

I was at the car wash recently and the guy there gave me the nod. All is good in the hood

This is not a good omen for our chances in getting Toure. The founder of Abdow's Big Boy restaurants has passed away.
He was a legend. I'd put his breakfast buffet up against Shoney's any day!

So this kid is like JRoss the 5 star all American version? Interesting if we land him , his freshman year will Ross’s senior year. Could have epic perimeter defense that year.

I suggest folks get out to watch his state tournament games. $10 tickets to the greatest show in CT.

This kid is basically the perfect model of what Hurley needs to bring to the roster.



I watched two of his games in person and a few online this year. He's an elite athlete with a quickly improving skillset. Long, strong, elite jumper. Great mid-range game. Improving 3-point shot (that is super inconsistent right now). Transition buckets.

He struggles with that self-creation in the half-court... but frankly, he's being quadruple teamed every time he touches the ball. We'll see more of what he can do in AAU where they play a bit more 1v1

I love that he plays with violence. The only violent player we have is Reed right now

This is the exact type of player we need to balance the roster. Legit must get, IMO. As you said, we have no "violent" players and nobody who can make things happen based solely on athleticism and play downhill. I don't think we had much of a chance, but this is why I really wanted the kid who went to Baylor (Tounde...).

Anybody have an idea if he plans to go the prep route for his senior year or is he going to stick it out at ND?

There was talk of him prepping this year, but obviously that didn't happen. It wouldn't surprise me if he went prep or stuck it out at NDWH. Doesn't matter to me as long as we get a commitment after this summer.
