“@E_Wolf_1: another german on his way to uconn for a visit!! #GermanTakeover lol”

Anyone know the name of the player that Wolf is referring to?

interesting. my only beef with getting a extra big body would be if were going overseas because most times those kids can't qualify right away or aren't ready to play right away anyway. gif was rare to be able(school credits) to play right away 1, then 2nd that he was good enough to play right away.

It really boggles my mind what the NCAA has against foreign kids. I mean, how hard can it possibly be to determine whether these kids are academically eligible? They've taken SATs, they've taken TOEFLs, they have transcripts. This isn't rocket science, it's easy as pie.

What happened to all the 22 year old Lithuanians and such that used to come up big for various A10 programs year after year? Would love to bring in a mature Euro with a big body and basic bball skills that just wants some exposure over here.

I think it's Hans Schultze he's popped up on a few people's radar. He's a big kid but he needs to get in better shape. Here's a picture of Calipari explaining to him how he can be the next great one and done if he comes to Kentucky.

LOL, and when the NCAA catches wind of all the money Schultz was paid to play for Kentucky, what is Schultz going to say to the NCAA?

Leon Tolksdorf, a 2012 wing from Germany, is on campus today, per Joey Natale.

 

[DogMania]

It's a fricken blitzkrieg.

Strange that we seem to have plenty of wings. But if he's legit high major talent, why not?

Was it over when the Japanese bombed London? Nothing is over until we decide it is!

 

[UConnSwag11]

is this him?

 

[aceboon]

seems to have pretty good size, about 6'7"(I've also seen 6'5" but that is a euro listing and they list heights w/o shoes) and 220lbs, pretty good weight on him. If the plan is to go small ball this year and spread the court with shooters while Boat/Bazz/Evans dribble penetrate it makes sense for them to be looking at more wings.

 

[FASTEDDY]

Kid CAN SHOOT! nice form on his jumper and can definately help us out.

Go get'em coach.

 

[CL82]

Good in Germany does not equal good against top US schools. Still, it would be good to have someone who can hit an open three and I have to believe our it will take opponents back a bit to have a bunch of guys in Connecticut uniforms running around yelling: "Werfen Sie mich der Felsen!"

 

[Kurt]

His jumper looks alot like Novak's(not saying he just as good a shooter).

.....you think they'd be that formal?

Wow, he doesn't miss on the video!!!

I could see him playing some 4 for us if he's a legit 6'7"...seemed fairly strong, good hands. He did block some shots, but the opposition did not seem to have a lot of height. I did not see him dunk once on the video, which is unusual for highlight vids (at least in the US). Not sure he will have the quickness to play the 3 here, but hard to tell much really.

Nice high arc on his 3 point shots. He seemed wide open on most of them, hope he can shoot it with someone on him.

 

[UChusky916]

Excellent form on his jumper. Pretty quick trigger/release. Great follow through.

I know good form doesn't mean much if you can't hit the shots, but this kid looks good. I trust the staff.

 

[Dann]

guys the kid can shoot. but hes not that tall. 6'5 at a max it looks like. we don't need that to take a ship up with a small wing. he could also lose a couple pounds and put some muscle on, no big deal there. my issues is watching the d in that video. they are slow and basically a middle school team. the kid is going to have the same if not worse issues gif had/has which is the speed of the game. with the shot he has he def has potential, but hes not as good as gif was his frosh year(says alot).

this isn't a bad recruit, not knocking him and i think he could potentially be a nice way to fill a ship for the next 4 years. but he is not going to come here and help much at all next year.

starting next year we will be back to 13 ships. thats great for us but this fanbase hasn't seen that in years or remembers what it feels like. we used to get kids that would transfer even when they were bottom ship guys. bringing a kid in like this could be great if hes in it for the long haul. if our 12th and 13th ships for 2013 goto this kid and dukes(local pg) i would be very happy. those are 2 kids with huge potential that just need to learn/gym time and are kids that would be commited to the program for the long haul. we need another big guy this clas and then bank the other ships. go to war with 10 JC, we have a 123 combo/rotation of 6 that 99% of the ncaa dreams of. we can do this.

Dirk Nowitski II, you know he's out there

That's all I'm asking for.....is that so much?

 

[caw]

The German front(line).

 

[Husky Dad]

I love this. I would like to have a mix of kids like this in our program. It also gives everyone something to think about and work on in our year hiatus. This is in many ways a practice year, so projects are great.

Dont forget. We are this. No matter what the NCAA or anyone else says or does. This is us, and 3 banners. No current coach and program have this combination. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-the-top-50-players-in-school-history/page/51

Those guys never miss, but then again, no D.
