2024 Recruiting: Ahmad Nowell committed to UConn!

[WrenchFan69]

Maybe him being damaged goods in high school was how we got him in the first place?

He very literally destroyed his shoulder in the McDs All-American game. So clearly he was desirable when we got him

Too lazy to check if this has been mentioned already, but Nowell's 3 point shooting stats are very impressive.

Shot 41% from 3 in the EYBL season. 43/106 from deep. And Jeff Goodman had to gall to tweet out that Nowell "wasn't a good shooter" yesterday right after he committed...lol

Its Jeff Goodman.

 

[UCTitleTown]

nope

Insightful.

 

[August_West]

Insightful.

I'm terse; succinct. Yet incisive.

 

[jibsey]

Its Jeff Goodman.

Why does Goodman hate UConn again, I forgot?

 

[RipCity]

Insightful.

Ironic coming from the guy who just whipped up a complete BS statement about Gilbert.

The reality is that his serious health issues happened after he committed in the Jordan game, and he rose from 75-100 range to McDonald’s AA late, which is why we didn’t have to beat out blue bloods. So august was right… nope.

Because Nowell can’t shoot?

Wouldnt matter if he loved us. He is the ultimate tool.

Only Goodman we recognize is Saul.

I don’t care about Goodman, but this tweet? Seems fair enough.

 

[Umami Zen]

A little confused on the Goodman quote.. Would he rather have a great shooter that can make them? Or not a good shooter that can make them?? Nowell is more than adequate in his ability to do a variety of things to help his team win.. He was not brought here to be a sniper.. But he can still make them..

Not sure if he hates Uconn but I just noticed a pattern of when Uconn does something positive he always has some negative comment or shade to throw our way. Hes a clown.

I feel it's just that usually when you say "not a great [something]" you're not trying to say "just below great." You're usually saying "a bad [something]" while trying to sound less mean.

If he didn't mean for it to be possibly taken that way, he should reread stuff before he tweets it.

WHO IS THE BEST FACILITATOR YOU SAW IN JULY?​

“I continue to be impressed with the entirety of Ahmad Nowell’s game, but I thought he showed some improved court vision running with Team Final this July. I watched him rattle off an 18-point, seven-assist performance at Peach Jam, and the stats, gaudy as they are, might still undersell his effect on that contest. The UConn commit did a great job of limiting turnovers while still being creative with the ball in his hands this summer, and he announced himself as one of the better facilitators in the class.” - Cassidy

This description sounds a lot like RJ Cole, maybe a little more physical. Thoughts?

I'll take an RJ at his best right now.

Or you misinterpreted his comment and he didn’t write anything negative.

For example, that wasn’t a great post by you, but you write good ones occasionally.

Hurley has a type, doesn't he?

It's like this and like that and like this and uh

D-O double G.

 

[444JR]

I have a hard time believing that. He had a dislocation sophomore year that didn't require surgery. The Jordan game was when he dislocated it badly and things went downhill from there.

Rique went absolutely ballistic his junior year (watch the game vs Tatum!) and his ranking rose to 5*.

i will go watch this game good shout

I think he will be much better than rj.

 

[BGesus4]

I think he will be much better than rj.

Going to be much better than first team all conference?

Going to be much better than first team all conference?

Problems with these comparisons is year. Freshman year vs freshman year? Or freshman year vs senior year?

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Maybe freshman year vs RJ junior year which was up and down.
