Drummond to UCONN this season.

[MTHusky]

This is absolutely unbelievable!!

 

[UCHuskies08]

I had completely convinced myself that he was never coming here. I'm still giddy. I called everyone I could think might care a little bit. I think a few of them didn't. My mom was pretty pumped though.

 

[TRest]

I understand he can play a little bit?

that's how the rumor goes.

I'll start by saying I used to go by RayShuttlesworth but its ridiculous what people are saying on the other boards..on the UNC board someone posted this gem "I hate Calhoun. How is he allowed to get away with stuff like this EVERY YEAR? No chance this is an above board "transaction". .....are they kidding? Since when do we ever get this caliber of a player nvm "EVERY YEAR" when they consistently pull in 5 burger boys every year

FWIW... that poster's handle is terpsince85

 

[UCDaveD]

I still can't believe it. This crow sure as hell tastes like filet-mignot.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I thought UNC fans liked JC because he knocked off Duke twice in final four games.

They're just ticked off that they now have to worry that their every few year cakewalk to a national title for Roy may not happen this upcoming season.

 

[UConn4ever]

OMG I can't wait for this season

 

[MrShuttlesworth]

You're right didnt see that guys handle. Heres one from Catsillustrated

"I like how Calhoun lands a kid that wasn't even considering UConn throughout his entire recruitment (Daniels) and lands a kid that "100% wasn't going to college in 2011." All on the up-and-up (yea right). "

[Drumguy]

Holy ! Woooooo hoooo. This puts us at no. 1 I believe. (looks like the filters are up and working as I did nit say darn!)

 

[Dove]

At some point on Monday morning, after I dig out from underneath my broken home and splintered trees I may come to be kinda happy about this news.

 

[Dove]

Susan Herbst is having a helluva summer!!

 

[UCHuskies08]

BAHAHA!

I feel its an especially good time to remember how talented he is. Watching this and knowing what is coming back is just unreal.

I particularly like the dunk around the 24 second mark where he makes Tony Parker look like a kid.

Ok so i never actually looked at any videos of the kid playing because i honestly never really thought he'd end up at UCONN. i've never seen a kid his size and athleticism dribble, pass, shoot, or dunk like that especially at his age. the whole scholly thing kinda bums me out - does Wolf go back to Germany or Olander give up his scholly? either way this guy is simply a freak of nature (in the best way possible)...

2011 mixtape:

 

[Walker11]

A couple people, I think Jeff Borzello of CBS and others are reporting (speculating?) that Drummond will be paying his own way. So, the NCAA takes away three scholarships and the best big man prospect since Dwight Howard decides to walk on? I'll take it...

 

[Catsailor]

Sanctions, 5/5, NC#3 , now OMG! Swweeeet!

 

[UConn5]

YEA.

Suck it everyone else...time to re-evaluate those top 10's.

 

[uconnbill]

I feel good that what I was told two months ago was true after all.
Welcome to UConn Andre

I was going to say he reminded me a bit of Dwight Howard. Looks like from the videos that he's got an amazing handle for a guy his size. He made some great passes. Of course there were a ton of dunks, looks to be as athletic as any big man we've ever had. He'll be an immediate difference maker on D. Hard to tell how the offense will look, he looked like a man amongst boys in those clips. The boys are at least better than the chairs we've seen in some other guys highlights.

Give him a few months at Camp Calhoun and he'll be a serious menace.
