[444JR]

What a guy. Hurley bringing in high caliber human beings with NBA potential!

Whoever has the NoEscalators twitter handle may want to consider changing it. ?

 

[gtcam]

His build and his handle reminds me of the Johnnies frosh Posh Alexander

 

[Austin316]

This kid it tough. Only a junior too!

 

[UconnU]

Somehow his composite on 247 went DOWN to 127 lol. No way there are 126 juniors better than him. Impossible

 

[ZenConn]

Bring him onboard and his teammate Simeon Wilcher as well! Lets go!

He mentioned that the college court is bigger than the high school court. Is that true? If so, I learned something.

Heck yea. Ballin at alumni hall at Fairfield U use to have me ready to pass out after a run LOL

It depends on the court, I suppose. But regulation size is the same. Not all courts are regulation size though - at least at HS and below. I'm sure all D1 NCAA courts are regulation.

College (D1, D2, D3) and NBA courts are 94 ft long. A typical high school court is 84 ft I believe. It makes a big difference as a player.

Staff love this kid.. huge ceiling.

Staff love this kid.. huge ceiling.

Good system fit. Hurley loves to get his guards heading downhill off screens exactly how RC uses him. He even uses a jump stop which Hurley teaches religiously that no one on the current team uses.

I must be a terrible judge of talent because i see at least a top 75 kid. Can attack the basket, can shoot, can dunk in short spaces and while not super athletic definitely is a +athlete. Maybe hes slow? Doesnt matter im excited about him coming here.

 

[Friarsnoop]

Other than the top 15-25, I have no faith in rankings, and prefer to trust my coach's instincts. The Champagnie brothers were around 400, Posh Alexander was 350, Jared Bynum wasn't in the top 500. Bouknight wasn't in the top 50, Martin wasn't in the top 200.

He is absolutely under-ranked. I wouldn’t pay much attention to that at all. I think it’s because LY he was a sophomore at Roselle and was playing behind a line of really good seniors. I expect his ranking to go up, but don’t care if it doesn’t

Shout out to the kid doing the interview in this clip. Sounded very composed and professional. I dabbled in TV and radio in college, and I can tell you that not sounding stupid is a lot harder than it looks.

To be fair Posh was a consensus top 100 kid before his injury. He missed his senior year AAU circuit and slid hard. For a while everyone thought he was going to Seton Hall. When Hall missed on him that’s when they went after Aiken. He was very heavily recruited by big east schools.

Did anyone else read this article? Couple lines that caught my attention.

"Corey Floyd Jr., the 6-foot-4, 210-pound UConn commit from Roselle Catholic (NJ), is now officially done with his high school career."

"Though he’s in the Class of 2022, he’s looking ahead to joining coach Dan Hurley and the Huskies next year."

Reclass, or poorly written?

We have the scholarships available. If can reclass, why not? Even if he doesn't play significant minutes, a full year under the UConn staff would be much better than his high school

 

[navery12]

Given his age my guess is it was just a poorly written sentence and he meant next year as in 2022

 

[aburks41]

Given his age my guess is it was just a poorly written sentence and he meant next year as in 2022

But why would he say he was officially done with his high school career? And saying "next year" for 2022 which is 2 seasons away is just odd...I feel like zags knows something we don't and let it slip lol

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Yeah, that sentence seems to leave little doubt about the meaning of the sentence but I guess we’ll find out soon enough if Zags does know something.
