Amida Brimah to UCONN

[tcf15]

“@Coast2CoastHoop: Per his guardian, 2013 Archbishop Coleman Carroll (FL) center Amida Brimah has committed to UConn.”

“@Coast2CoastHoop: UConn lands a big commitment from Brimah, his guardian said "we slept on it and it felt right."”

“@Coast2CoastHoop: Kevin Ollie has secured his first commitment as head coach. Amida Brimah, native of Ghana, has a 7-6 wingspan.”

Yes! Great way to start the week!

First commitment, but not his first recruit or signee. I count Facey and Samuel as Ollie people since they signed the dotted line long after Ollie had been made head coach.

How will this affect Jahlil Okafor's decision on UConn? He would be sharing playing time with Brimah.

No he wouldn't.

If anyone on UConn is good enough to take time from Jahlil Okafor, it won't matter if Okafor comes to UConn. Right now Okafor is heads above anyone UConn has offensively in the post. It won't have an affect at all.

We need a big time player for next year to make a FF, NC run. Brimah probably won't help here, that quickly, if ever. Who knows guys outside the top 150 rarely turn into big time players.

And which immediate impact 2013 post player would you suggest we get instead? There's nobody left.

Brimah is considered a fast riser, coming up fast. I'll bet he's easily in the top 100 by April. That's about where Emika was in Jan of his senior year.

There are still a few, but none have UConn close to their top 5.

Let's see what other coaches get fired, maybe someone opens up.
