David Onuorah commits to uconn

Solid pickup, especially with Cobb not being much of a rim protector. This also helps limit Whaley's minutes, which isn't a bad thing.

I also like how he's hungry since he most almost all of last season.

WELCOME DAVID
Great get for the bigs - thanks KO and crew
OK - waiting for all you "KO can't recruit, the program can't attract anyone, KO couldn't recruit his son" and all the other doomsday regulars to comment
Amazing how they immediately pile on when the news is bad but silent when we get a spark

Seriously, what is wrong with you? This isn't a great get and doesn't point towards Ollie being a great recruiter. If you really can't figure out the poster was kidding about Ollie not being able to recruit his own son (even after he explained it to you) then there is seriously something wrong with you. We need bodies and Onuorah is a big body. I think he will be able to grab some rebounds and block some shots for us for 1 season which is a bonus especially with all our question marks in the frontcourt. Anyone saying this kid can't help us for one season is a dope and anyone saying this proves Ollie is some sort of great recruiter because of this "great' get is a dope.

All I've seen is people saying this is a nice pickup that can help us, once again you're creating false narratives.

To be honest, I give a snow a lot less about what a recruit says about Ollie, the program compared to how this guy actually works out. The best overall class in UConn history just half turned to crap.

fishing for likes?
that's ok - i'll say my thing you say yours
I've been tolerant and haven't commented on your offerings when *I could but if you want be a snark - go at it
Yeah I'm a broken record but feel the need to defend the coach and the program - it's something I feel strong about
I will complain and lay blame when I feel it is warranted
But having coached at a high level for many years (30) and interacting with college coaches at all divisional levels, I know what KO is experiencing, and while some is self inflicted, I feel his pain.
While we are asking questions - do you do anything but post to this board - looks like your on here 24/7, just asking

A welcome addition, but let's not get carried away. He will help, but certainly doesn't demonstrate any recruiting prowess. The pom pom crowd is far too easily impressed.

It's been a miserable off season. People are happy and relieved to click on here and finally see " committed to Uconn". That's all.
"Commits to Uconn" is like a bottle of Poland Spring in the desert nowadays.

You never have to "expose" an idiot. Just let them talk and they'll expose themselves.

See Exhibit A

If he run the court, rebound, move his feet, dunk, and pass I'll be content. It's one year and if Adams Vital larrier and Gilbert live up to our expectations we should be good

I feel better that a space eater, shot blocker, rebounder has committed. Putbacks and layups are a bonus, and maybe he can make a foul shot now and then.

Especially with guards who can penetrate. He should get some easy lay ups, putbacks, and dunks

I like it. If they somehow add moretti, who will immediately contribute wherever he goes, ALL OF the sudden, the doom and gloom turns into an intriguing roster in 2017 with scholarships available in 2018.

Obviously he CAN help. The question is WILL he. Of course, only time can tell. He'll definitely end up somewhere between Okafor and Antric Klaiber. If he becomes Johnnie Selvie or even Mike Hayes, he'll be worth it.

As good as we were going to get at this stage in the game. He gives us something as a proven shot blocker - albeit against weaker comp - that nobody on the roster gives us and he's a decent rebounder. Even if we're probably better off with one of the younger guys playing those minutes by March, at the very least we can use him in a situational manner and as a valuable practice body/locker-room guy.

Seriously. If @Stairmaster is getting warnings that his antics have landed him on his last legs, I hope this guy has some activity in his PM box. At least stain has readable text and contributes in other ways.

I consider myself to be a big KO supporter and will call out things when I see them. But this is just getting embarrassing
 
On a different note, did this kid ever visit? I don't remember hearing anything about his recruitment other than some whispers of mutual interest
