Adrien wound up at 6’7 245. Landrew describes himself as a big wing which is good because he’s below average height for a PF in the nba. no need to bulk up that much. 6’6 230 max.
Ill be just as excited for a starting lineup with a senior Ball instead of soph Mullins
In the other thread, he was compared to Caron. Reading this breakdown on Colben, wow! For those who saw Caron play, you'd understand why.“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.”

Who are those 8th graders standing next to him
Not very much in common with Adrien other than height and being good at rebounding. The Caron comp is much closer.
All I am saying is that he is still in play. Would it be great to get him, absolutely. That would be an incoming class of 3 frosh. I don’t think Hurley wants more than 3. If we don’t get him then it is portal time.
And what he's saying is that Dan Hurley doesn't want more than 2 freshmen, so we're done
On top of the tea leaves in the Mingo thread. @GHSWolverines, if you haven't read that thread the last 2 days you should check it out. See my last 2 posts in the thread. Sometimes you can't trust these articles but everything is pointing to UConn moving on from Mingo. But as always, things could change as I mentioned above.
I saw him once in IKEA in New Haven. He's maybe 6'5. I'm 6'8 and was surprised at how much taller I was than him.
High school freshmen this fall.
I agree. When I saw we were heavily involved and watched his game tape, I thought, "we've gotta get him here." Now that he's coming here, I just have that really good gut feeling as well. Has all the skills you mentioned, and I love that football/dog mentality this dude is going to bring. We were loaded with dudes like that in 23 and 24 and we all know the results. I feel like Florida had a few dudes like that last year and it gave them that edge they needed to win it all. I've always thought it's what separates the really good teams from the champions.
Love me some rank risers with LEGIT NBA potential.“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.
