2026 Recruiting: Colben Landrew goes off vs Tri-Cities: Scoring Highlights

[Smokie]

I know we got a good one in Landrew.

genuinely curious...How competitive is this game? I saw the clip, but with the exception of 1st dunk, just a bunch of almost open 3s, and a fast break from a reckless assist from other team... Then I'm super impressed with his elite body control in that out-of-bounds ball sequence.

The game was competitive. Wheeler won by 12-13 points. Overall basketball in that Atlanta area is typically very good. Same league that produced Castle and Issac Collier a couple of years ago.

My thoughts too, he looked great bit there was absolutely no defense played by opposition

 

[Hunt for 7]

Clearly he has next level ability for his size. But these highlight videos are not the best way to judge how good a player is. The only way to really know is to watch multiple games in their entirety against good competition. Also it has to be live because you have to watch everything he does not just when he is in camera view.

But he continues to rise in the ranking for a reason. Let’s eye how the rest of the season plays out. The only thing I would say is at the three he may have some issues as just from this clip his overall quickness could be a factor on how he slots into the rotation. Some threes at the college level who are basically big guards may be too quick for him to stay in front of on defense.

I read the Caron comps but to me I see a better version of Donny Marshall as a comp I would use.

 

[Mr. French]

Caron?

I have been thinking of a way to write that he reminds me of Caron but I didn’t know exactly how to say it, or if it fits…but I do see it.

Maybe the fact that the game is different now from 20 years ago makes for differences in their styles, but a guy who does it all with size and strength and can shoot too sounds like Caron.

 

[Captbluefin]

Finally a wing who can play some “bully” ball for us.
Through the years we have fell victim to these type of players. It would be nice to have one.

 

[Excalibur]

Maybe, but Landrew strikes me as more of a football body than Caron. Caron was a pretty long 6'7". This kid looks like he can go through people.

?? Caron was a tank.

The first clip may be the worst defense I've ever seen . . .

 

[uconn_jack]

His body kind of reminds me of KFree, but more skilled.

Caron was 6’7” 225. This kid is 6’6” 235, and that’s still HS.

 

[Enrique]

the jump, the save, the make… (stepped out but don’t worry about that, that body control is crazy)

That was unreal.

 

[Lafayette]

Kinda reminds me if Rip just thicker and a but shorter.

 

[husky429]

He reminds me of Shaq

 

[Huskyforlife]

He’s close to Stewart in body type I’d say, Stew might have an inch on him, both around 225.

I have seen better defense at a slam dunk competition

 

[husky429]

I counted 22 points and 3 assists + whatever FTs he made.

He's listed anywhere from 205-235. I doubt either of those numbers are right. I'd gues 215 or 220lb. Like HFL said, built a bit like Stewart but an inch shorter.

He’s not Stewart at all. Kid plays with force and balance. Not sure why they’d lie about 235. He’s a football player and he looks dense in the lower half.

His high school lists him at 215 which seems about right

The only site listing him at 235 is 247.

I said "built like" not "plays like"
