OOOOO

 

[AllHusky]

I have a feeling Colben is going to be a real difference maker. Football mentality in a skilled basketball player. My favorite.

 

[TheHorde]

This kid is a stud. He looks physical enough to hang with physical college players right now.

 

[AllHusky]

NNNNNNNnnnnnn

Heard in the end Ville offered more $$$, but kid really wants to play for Hurley.

“Colben is a super skilled and very versatile wing/forward. Can really guard 4 positions and is an excellent rebounder on both sides of the ball. His physical strength and shooting abilities is what separates him from your typical college freshman,” Wheeler assistant Larry Thompson told ZAGSBLOG. “He is a high volume shot maker with a ton of range on his jumper and is able to absorb contact in the paint when driving the ball to the basket. Elite passer and super unselfish! Will be ready to compete from day 1 when he steps on campus.”

Seems to be the story of all the recruits we get.

 

[TheHorde]

The kid seems grounded and humble. Welcome to Connecticut, Landrew family.

This is a real great player. Welcome Colben. Loved that Georgia cheer for UConn.

This is a real great player. Welcome Colben. Loved that Georgia cheer for UConn.

I heard that too, same thought. UConn is national now. The name is spoken with reverence.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Isn't that the story of all the recruits we get?

And that's why we're at where we're at and Louisville is at where they're at.

 

[HooperScooper]

“The reason I chose UConn was, after watching Danny Hurley’s practice, I saw how he was just so intense and how competitive he was with his team, How he was pushing his team every day, and don’t let them slack up. So I felt like ultimately I need that going into the future.”

No doubt, not only does Landrew have high BBIQ, he’s also smart enough to understand that playing for Dan Hurley gives him the best path to the NBA.

What was UConn's pitch to him? "Just to come in and let me rock. Playing with the ball, playing off the ball, coming off screens, shooting the ball, everything; just being a big wing and a big guard."

Yes! This is the guy I was really hoping was going to play for UConn. Very excited for a big time wingy.
