austin pope

lets finish this 2013 class off and go to work on 2014.

give me pope right now. 2 lenghty guards and 2 raw big guys. i think the guards will benefit from a year behind bazz and boat and then playing off boat in year 2 with omar also at sg. we have time to develope kids at the guard positions. samuel and popre are high potential in time kids. perfect for our situation.

2014? i want abu and paschal with terell and carrington. that would be a score 4 in that class. maybe the ok4 connect works? maybe whitehead rethinks his cuse love or the dream boy cuse has to who knows.

lets land pope if the offer is tru and get on with 2014 ko!

Who is Austin Pope?

 

[Puertorock43]

I want hill too

If the you tube video I saw on him means anything I'm not too high on the Popester!! LOL....long lefty with not much explosion and never saw a jump shot.......but there were no chairs there so how good can he look?

 

[aceboon]

where are you seeing that they offered him?

 

[Dann]

tos has uconn offering. he has kinda exploded on the scene. went from no bodys to bcs schools offering. not a impressive list but colorado, oregon types tell u hes atleast a player. the schools of interest are snooping around now. we offred early i guess its that KO connection. based on where the kid is from i have to guess KO got the scoop early and also has some pull.

the YT of him looked like a basic game in his jr year or something. hard to tell much. def got lenght and a jumper. we got time for him to sit and develope so this could be a interesting move by KO. i like it based off some google about the kid combined with my opinion of what we need to do class wise.

for those wanting hill-yes hes a 2014 stud. if we can land him i would be thrilled. i like ko trying to redo our footprint in the northeast. i'm going to root for that. if the best kids start staying home and uconn keeps winning, its a dangerous mix for the rest of college basketball. family and footprint, thats how ko can take uconn to the next level.

But Dan, you recently said that there is zero chance that Bazz will be back. I certainly hope he stays...did you get updated info on Bazz's decision?

 

[superjohn]

Learning under Bazz, are you already conceding our bet? Ha, just messing with you. I would be happy with Pope or Kendal Harris to finish the class, I really want Ahmed Hill in '14 and think we have a very good chance with him.

 

[mauconnfan]

We seem to forget Terrence Samuel........not like the kid can't play or anything wtf........hopefully Bazz is here next year to tutor TS also!!! We need 2 more guards anyway but Samuel and Frazier would be nice.......maybe a transfer as things unfold during the offseason?

 

[superjohn]

Haven't seen much film on Pope but he is supposed to be a very good defender and has length. There is a nice interview with him on YouTube, very well spoken kid with a really good personality.

I am in love with Hill's game as well. Who knows how it will translate but, I want him in 2014.

Are you talking about Keith Frazier? I haven't heard his name mentioned here before. Is he considering UConn?

I really don't know and I doubt it but one can dream!! LOL

 

[huskiesnyc]

Kendall Harris is a guy I think we have a realistic shot at if he doesn't stick with his USC commitment

Hopefully he is watching Texas because even with Kabonga they really suck!
