That's quite a comp @husky99 , those are two of the toughest players to ever wear the blue. Kid is going to be good.

 

[husky429]

He's had a really solid senior season. Refining his shotmaking and maintaining the physical game.

Both had a football background. What i have read and heard that the kid is a brick house

 

[blkknight1]

Sounds like the kinda player we could use to bring that toughness we have been missing

His team just won the state semifinal on Saturday, they're in the finals this Saturday. They won last year (Colben's first year there I believe) as well. Colben had 22 in the semis, apparently some deep three heroics and a nice met at the rim block.

The 3 spot looks to be in good hands next year with Landrew and Ross

It's probably silly to call a kid who is ranked 24th in the nation "underrated" but I really think he is. Still has the reputation as a streaky shooter and I haven't found that to be the case this past year.

You already establishing your first pick for next year? ETA for the first 2027 champion pick switch?

We need to get Landrew up here with the S&C program to unleash the beast!!

Holt and Landrew were AAU teammates.

Same teams basically grabbing all the top kids.

Only the insecure types would think that from that post. There is a lot that needs to happen before we see next years rosters.

Only poopy faces would respond in that way to my post. Am I doing that right?

Will he end up a 5*?

Um, UConn which literally grabbed 1 of the 2 kids mentioned.

And you wonder why you get called out for everything you post

Dyson is probably one of the best athletes to put on a Husky uniform. Not many guys can say they went toe to toe with Derrick Rose and John Wall in their college careers.

Jeff Adrien is probably the toughest to ever put on a Husky uniform. Did not want to be on the other side of those bows.

He played on the same court as them but those guys were in a different stratosphere than him athletically and as players, especially Rose.

He's listed 6-6 235. And from what I've read and seen, he's a 3 level scorer.

Caron Butler is a much better comp!

Mixing those two guys is an interesting comp

Just not an accurate one. Adrian was an undersized physical 4 who had no outside game. And Dyson was a physical 2G who was a streaky jump shooter. More attack the rim type of guard.

Other than being a physical specimen I don't see any comparison between those two players and him.

Caron is the comp!

He's the comp, and I'm not sure he's even a direct hit. Colben is his own man.

He's listed as a 5* by some services already.

15 in on3. Legit, w/upside. He's not going to make/break our season next year, Hurley is going to have to make a splash in the portal at one starting position. We need to see how this all plays out.

We're going to have a lot of NIL $ freed up and at a bare minimum we'll have 3 or 4 portal players. At least a couple of them have to be big time players/elite athletes.
