“I just gotta work on my game sharpen up my tools so I can get in there and be an asset right away. I don’t wanna be waiting and you know get jammed up in that whole process and have to transfer”

Somehow I don't think Andre's going to have trouble getting on the court.

And probably the best wing defender in the class. I'm hoping he's our Iguodala.

You had me at Iguodala!

It's a bad quote, he won't struggle to get playing time.

I am choosing to believe that was a statement of how much he wants to be an impact player and how much respect he has for the kids ahead of him.

Anyone care to attempt a list of our all-time leapers? I imagine Jackson could potentially head the list one day.
1. Stanley Robinson
2. Rudy Gay
3. Scottie Burrell
4. Doug Wrenn (does he count?)

I see the next Shawn Marion

Anyone that doesn't put Kirk King and Tony Robertson right at the top of the all-time-leapers list doesn't know UConn basketball.

And Stormin Norman Bailey. I swear he hung from the Rings of Saturn with one jam that I saw.

Ok I'm going to show my age right now. If a kid did that in HS when I was a teen, they would have went straight to the NBA . . . . . . . . . HOF.

Byron Jones. are we only talking BB?

 

[UConnKev]

Syracuse fans and coaches right now

 

[navery12]

I think it's a good thing that our top recruit wants to work hard and improve his game to get playing time

 

[intlzncster]

Jeez that transfer quote. Eek.

nobody make fun of his shot from here on out. just ball wash

 

[jibsey]

I'm quite sure that the coaches are going to want to keep him comfortable shooting and not drastically change him if it's going to lead to bad results. I think with that kind of vertical jumping ability he can get out of the way of most defenders and get a shot off. Not worried about this.

There is little downside to changing his shot when he is so terrible. Different story if he starts hitting at a decent clip

Why be confrontational, lots of guys could jump. Running the timeline of guys I've seen; Willie McCloud had crazy hops and Kwintin Williams had that 45" vertical - I'd guess that is tied-ish for the UConn record.

His quote regarding transferring tells me there is obviously other teams still pursuing/recruiting him. Or at least someone is putting thoughts in his head. And he is curious why Bouk is a bench player..

I think the voices in your head telling you that might be reading a bit too much into an off-hand comment by a teenager.

Some people just don't have the right temperament to follow recruiting. At a certain point you need to start thinking about your mental health.
