Wow! Quite the impressive stat line! He's raw, but works hard, and seems to have a lot of upside.
Agree, it will be interesting to see how he develops.

When's the last time we saw a triple double? Probably Okafor.

When was the last time we recruited a big man who wasn't a project?

I believe Hasheem had one against a weaker team that was probably intimidated by his size. Well Kemba but you must be thinking more of big men.

He had one against Providence his Junior year.

#UConn recruit Paschal Chukwu recorded a triple double last night vs Career Magnet (23 pts, 13 rebs,12 blocks)

Almost all big men are projects to some extent. They dominate in high school because of their size. In college, they end up having to face someone their size most every game, and have to start developing a skillset to match their size. It's tough to develop that skillset when you don't face someone your size more than a couple times a year.

Shabazz had one last year against Coppin State. 22, 13ast and 12reb, with just 1 TO

Imagine they land Pascal Chukwu?

Can you even imagine a Senior, Junior, Sophomore front line of:

Phil Nolan, Kentan Facey, Amida Brimah, Pascal Chukwu!

We desperately need a space eating center.

But who has one of those?

2014 recruit Onuaku looks like he could fit that bill. He looks like he has the frame to develop into a monster center.

Could get Smith from UCLA. Unless he already announced where he is going and I didn't see that.

I believe he already announced. He is going to Georgetown.

Junior Thabeet against Providence.

Looked at the ESPN rankings, and this is quietly shaping up to be a good class. Facey is a top 100 player. Brimah is the #13 center and 12 centers are in the ESPN100, the #12 C being Woodson at 88 so presumably Brimah can slip in towards the end. And Samuel is the 19th best SG outside of the top 100 players. Get Harris (also in ESPN100) and this is a very good class. Wouldn't it be something if Ollie can land 3 ESPN100's despite all that he had to deal with this year?

 

[aboogieee]

Woodson? Dominic Woodson? Ive watched a game of his on ESPNU & didnt come away impressed. He is a big guy but he looked to be out of shape to me. His high rating may stem from playing alongside top 100 guys & AAU ... I'm good w/ Amida Brimah w/ his length & athleticism. Good get.
