Colben Landrew commits to UConn

I just watched a couple minutes of highlights. He looks like a Jay Wright Villanova guard. Plays mostly below the rim, but just try to stop him from making a layup once his hips are even with the defender.

The who offered who more money angle to the least interesting angle imaginable. Plus, none of you nitwits actually know who got what from who, so stop. We’re not out there offering Applebees coupons to recruits.

Kid talked about wanting to be pushed by a coach and staff like Hurley & Co.. Got to believe he's a big picture kid and thinks Hurley and his guys are his best shot at getting ready to paid "BIG" down the road at the next level.

I'm not saying Castle directly impacted this kid, but his ROY was well earned and great for the program as well as him. Hurley had a one & done ready for the next level.

Love the kids attitude.

I've seen this kid listed at 6'6 and even 6'5, he's gotta be 6'6 barefoot. Caron may be the best comparison out of our former players in terms of game and size. Not saying he'll be as good as Caron but I have a good feeling about this kid. Great build, ball skills, shot maker with a nice three point shot, great hands, good rebounder, football mentality, can play guard and forward.

Isn’t Diarra like 6’8”? And he looks taller than him.

He looks like he’s going to be a real problem for teams trying to defend him.

Offensively, he can play 1- 4 with him being a match up nightmare for opponents at 2G or SF, which is the position he’ll most likely play.

Ideally I’d love to see him grow another inch and be our PF. From the footage I’ve seen of him, because he’s not especially quick footed or a quick riser he’s going to have difficulty defending at the 2G and Sf positions. On the other hand I think that he can defend PFs and (offensively limited) PGs.
 
Even if Mullins goes pro, If Silas and Ball return (and no underclassmen transfer out) then all we need next summer is a backup 4/5 out of the portal

Demary / County
Ball / Furphy
Landrew / Ross
Stew / Transfer
Reibe / Transfer

Now I can sit back and enjoy #7

Physically, he's on track to be similar to Jermaine Samuels.

It can still happen. It might take a very successful season where UConn has three kids go in the first round to clear minutes. Kids like Mingo will commonly wait until the spring to commit to see how rosters will shake out for the coming season.

Mingo said he's committing towards the end of the early signing period which is November 12-19

Or maybe not.

“The goal right now, if everything goes according to plan is to commit sometime between November 20th and December 5th. I could go after, but that’s the goal."


Speaking with Mingo, currently Rivals’ No. 3 overall player in the 2026 class, he says he would like to make an early decision, but he is not opposed to waiting until after the early signing period. He has been adamant throughout this process that he wants to see teams play. He still has three visits left, and then the start of the college season, so things could shift with this recruitment as we continue forward.
