Brimah is going to surprise a lot of people this year. Watching him practice and scrimmage you can see a huuuuge difference from last year. Better hands x10 and a knockdown 15 foot jumpshooter.

Oh I agree but depending on how "huge" the improvement, it's not enough to get him in the lottery. He's going to be a lot better no doubt but only if he goes 10/12/5 does he get that kind of respect and to ask that much of an improvement would be a little much. Can't wait to see him out there, but the key is, as we've discussed, the improvement of positioning, reading rebounds, not getting caught too much under the basket and staying out of foul trouble. I have no doubt the shooting, offense if he gets himself in spots to score will improve. But will the natural intelligence that needs to be there improve a lot?
 
Diamond Stone Enjoys UConn, Wisconsin Trips; No Decision Date Set

“UConn was nice, it was a good visit,” Curtis said. “It was his second time out there, he had done an unofficial. It was nice to get in-depth look at the new practice facility which was just being built the first time we went up there. We saw the guys practicing and spent some quality time with Coach Ollie and his staff and the players, so it was a really good visit.”

If everything we're hearing about Brimah's improvement is true, then I like his chances being a lottery pick. The NBA values size above all else for it's lottery picks. Big men go first, and if Brimah is one of the top 10 big men at the end of the season, then he's going to be a lottery pick.

@tcf15 @husky99 @3uconn is there consensus on whether or not Stone will actually announce on the 12th? I thought he has wavered back and forth on that and I don't recall that ever being confirmed but most here are talking like that is a given.

Well, thank God you started the "just the facts" thread so we can distill them all.

This is also one of his tweets:

David Hookstead‏@dhookstead
I tweeted about a college Democrats group and then they deleted their Twitter. Very fishy.​

Fair chance he's knee deep in his own paranoia. I have to think him guaranteeing Stone is so that, when Stone committs to UCONN, Hookie can scream bloody murder about illegal shenanigans.

It must annoy him that the Kohl Center was named after a Dem. Senator Herb Kohl that donated 25 mill (if not mistaken).
 
Stone's final. Is it to UConn was an adult type visit - so less information than from his 1st visit.

As long as they snuck Stone into Nickel Night Thursday at Huskies I have no doubt we'll sign him

If we don't land Stone and Brimah leaves. You guys think Enoch can play the 5? At a long 6'10 he has more than adequate size, especially if he gains some weight.
Expand ...
Did you look at Enoch's youthful face ,he is still a growing boy.
This kid will be a 5 with 4 quickness or a 4 with 5 size.

Does this indicate anything good/bad? Going out for an in home 4 days after his official?

It certainly isn't bad news - we wouldn't be going to Wisconsin if we thought we were out of it. Just shows that the full court press is going to be on until he decides.

It indicates prudence and a staff that is putting in the necessary work! Regarding which way Stone is leaning nada.
