C Zach Brown

[Bryan Lord]

Nope, more like 260.

Sold.

 

[tcf15]

Is he 160lbs soaking wet?! Please say no.

Official measurements from the Nike Skills Academy this past summer:

Height w/ shoes: 7' 0.5"
Weight: 241
Wingspan: 7' 3.5"

Let's face it. Zach's destiny is to be called Baby Shaq.

From the article "Brown's post game is still raw and unrefined" Oh great another raw big man. JK. Great get by KO but this seems so anti-climatic with OZ predicting this was always a 100% sure thing.

hahaha yes, but did you see the part about him having wonderfully soft hands? Thank god. No Palmolive/Dawn jokes.

Look at those shoulders! Haven't seen anything like that since Adrien. Kid is going to be a monster when he fills out.

He's definitely whipped himself into shape based on recent pics and the earlier highlight videos. Looks like he's shed a decent amount of weight.

Between him and Enoch we can just lob the ball down low in 2017-18. They'll catch everything.

KO finally recruiting his type of big men. Strapped with a bunch of string beans in Brimah, Nolan and Facey, KO seems to have his type of big bodied athletic front court players. Enoch and Brown could really bring us back to the old days of us controlling the glass and the paint

All high school centers are raw. I am happy he was not a soccer player 3 month ago

Zach Brown Band?

 

[donyell34]

Just heard. Great news and welcome aboard Zach.

 

[James]

Who he reminds us of: Former Georgetown great and current NBA player Roy Hibbert. Both bigs use their massive size to be a barrier to the rim and clog the lane. Offensively they each possess length and touch to make jump hooks and finish drop off passes. What’s really similar is how they both run well for a seven footer and how they each pass well out of the post when the double team arrives. Brown is sometimes triple teamed and has learned this skill early in his young career.

Interesting blurb from insiders on the commitment . From seeing video I can agree with this , he is huge and can be an anchor just off positional defense. Not necessarily great off the floor, but that doesn't matter when you're 7'2.

 

[imno1]

The one thing that worries me is coming from South Beach he may be intimidated by the crazy party atmosphere of the Storrs campus. I hope he doesn't get sucked in.

"Only been playing basketball for 18 months".

 

[MadisonSquare Gordon]

That's 100% on @CallMeBruce . Blame him for all your disappointment if it doesn't happen.

And give him paltry credit if it does.

I won't be disappointed either way. While I think he'd be awesome to have in the 2016 class, I'm just happy that he decided to come here in general. Can't wait to see him in a Husky uniform.

Brown commits after watching a game in the XL Center.

And diarra and juwan. Even larrier

How are Durham's hands?

 

[CGarr]

When Zach was around 12 years old, he and his brother were in an Ace Hood video. Name of the song? Champion. An omen?

 

[boog204]

Just having a little bit of fun

All good... My original post was fairly asinine and I took my deserved lumps. The thought of having Brown, Enoch, and Durham (if he can play a little 3, probably not) is chub worthy.

 

[alfonse]

That guy is HUGE! On those videos it looks like a adult is playing basketball with a bunch of middle school kids

how the heck did you find that out?

 

[krinklecut]

Someone mentioned on r/collegebasketball the possibility of a reclass to 2016? Has anyone heard anything like this?

 

[CGarr]

how the heck did you find that out?

Haha, I totally felt like Rovell after firing that one out.
Saw it somewhere on social media, I think Instagram, a couple months ago.

 

[Kembacity]

Thank you! This was rambling through my head as I read the post, just such a random tidbit. Infinitely more random than the fact that Kemba danced at the Apollo while a teenager

Nice work by Nantambu Willingham! Uconn Family taking care of each other!

The Mac and Cheese Kid is gone so that shouldn't be much of an issue.

 

[Danzz]

Just watched some videos of Brown and besides talent he gives us something we haven't had in a very long time at the 5: a player with broad shoulders and a big Barkley like butt perfect for taking up space and moving opponents out of the way.

 

[Bigflip12]

He's not the most athletic 7ft I have ever seen and he will need the weight training program as soon as he steps on campus. He will take up space and blocks some shots until he game rounds out.
