LOL! I can assure you that this board isn't landing recruits. So this isn't a place to discuss basketball, its to be an echochamber for the program. Oh cool. Thanks for letting me know. Can you let me know when it changed?

Yeah such a cuse fan that I've likely watched more games in the mens locker than anyone on this board but yes a cuse fan.

Hey man, you’re allowed to discuss recruits, and we’re allowed to call out these absurd takes. If you want to say an athletic 7’2, 16 YO, top 40 recruit with offers from a who’s who of top programs is not a high major prospect, that is your prerogative I guess.
So you quote me, but not the guy who told me to shut up? Sure.

That tape is rough to watch. Two things: DC is a sophomore here, and Bristol might be the worst coached team in the state of Connecticut. Big men do not affect games like guards do at that level. He will be fine.

He doesn't play AAU or go to camps?
How did he look when we went to see him play in person?
And what college are those 2 brothers playing at? Are they high level D1 players? Because if they aren't they could be 10 feet tall doesn't matter.

You stated your opinion. Now you just keep piling on because so many people disagree with you. In the process of trying to be right about something that can't be proved or validated for several years, perhaps you forgot that calling a 16 year old kid a potential bust over and over mighy be losing perspective just a tad.
What? 6 6 or 6 8 what does it matter, he is 7 feet tall. Of course he is a walking bucket in CT PUBLIC SCHOOL.
I'm not even doubling down, I'm just looking for a counter argument from people or a basketball discussion. None of that has happened. I have presented tape of him, no one said anything people just keep pointing to Izzo offered. Cool what does that mean, lets talk about basketball.
My two cents w/Poly..You're entitled to your opinion..However..There are more than a few HOF College coaches around the US interested in this young man to be on their roster(s).. Before he has even started his Junior Year in HS..He is attracting major D1 BB interest.. His current skill development is coming from his AAU affiliations..Not so much from his HS League.. I have purposely left out DH's opinion so far..(based on your previous posts) Just other coaches.. I trust DH's eye for talent..DC may or may not come to Storrs..His call.. I think his development would really benefit from the stable of Bigs we've assembled on our roster once on campus.. Hope he chooses the Good Guys..Not piling on..Just stating the obvious..

You're asking for a counter-argument for something that can't be proven. The best evidence you can get about a recruit's ability is their offers, but you refuse to acknowledge that piece... because it pretty much disrupts any notion he isn't a high-major player.
On the plus side, you're getting on so much in this thread, Donovan's family is probably happy to see UConn fans attempt to set you straight. Is this some Chief-level 3D blaze strategy?

Ok. There is more to evaluating a prospect than just obsessing about who he is playing against. Oh, that's right you know that. I forgot I was talking to Jerry West. I love how you think that people who have forgotten more basketball than you will ever know think he's a good prospect isn't a counter argument.
