6'8 246lbs!

that fits the bill... who gave you those #'s, the coach or the player?

if legit, he sounds like the banger we need...

Great job. The way he keeps gaining weight (200 to 225 to 246, he should 300 lbs of solid muscle by the time he gets to UConn Nice quotes from his mother. KO's message definitely speaks to mothers.

About time. I've been waiting all morning!

Couple of things. I felt UConn was one strong big away from having a complete team. Looks like they picked up someone who fills that need. And if they have to double team him there will be a lot of players on the 2015 team who will benefit from this!

I want any player who has a family member that loves the statement "Ten Toes In"!!!!

I doubt any mother of any recruit would ever have left a JC first practice and think I want my kid to develop there!

His mom told me that and his coach told me 245.

Good read. If he is the player that it sounds like, we may have just gotten a steal in a player.

Anybody who is 6'8 240+ that plays above the rim is an absolute specimen

As always, nice article, and great job at getting it out so quickly.

Sounds like he's not the project that many suspected, but a talented baller who simply fell off the radar due to an untimely injury.

Nice job by Ricky to find him while other programs either wrote him off or simple didn't know enough about him to recruit him. I hope he fully recovers from his back injury and it won't be a reoccurring problem.

I have good feeling that Rakim will turn out just s good as Abu and Kasongo, if not better when it's all said and done.

My exact feelings!

If he really has athleticism and a motor to go with that frame the staff has a pretty good template to work with

How awesome would that be if he turns out to be a better player than Abu?!

 

[Henry]

Will we be set at center next year or is that a concern?

 

[Scot-e]

Abu is over rated for the sole reason he is not coming here.

Great job as usual @3UConn. Definitely looks like we got a steal this time. With that solid frame and some athleticism that is the basis for a solid player and someone Ollie can mold into a great player.

Great stuff as always 3.

Thanks for your diligence.

Thanks so much. I can't wait to see what K-Free does with this prospect. Haven't had an enforcer in years.

Freeman isn't a coach, he can't work with players

Forgot that, but I hope he at least knows how to whisper.

Hopefully he signs his LOI with us before he blows up and Gottfried comes tampering.
