Drummond to UCONN this season.

What outside game?

umm JL, DD, SN, RB

Not sure if you're being serious or not, but I expect Lamb, Napier, Boatright, Daniels, and maybe even Giffey to be able to consistently make 3s.

didn't realize that u already said that.

I'm beginning to think that Paint is a UK fan who paints his oversized beer belly (supplimented with deep fried twinkies) blue every time the cats play. He has a sattelite dish outside of his trailer and a gun rack in his pickup truck. It's a tossup as to whether he has more shoes or teeth but it is a safe bet that UK's men's hoops teams has more NCAA sanctions than either.

yeah I think thats true

Screw any negative posts on this thread.

Andre Drummond is coming to UCONN this year!@!@#!@#!@ Christmas has come early. Wow, holy hella fun this year is going to be! We are very lucky to assemble perhaps one of our most favorite teams, player for player, ever all the way to the end of the bench.

I'm going to walk on water on the way to work tomorrow.

Unbelievable chain of events. all my friends, co-workers, and random BART commuters now know who Andre Drummond is and that he's playing at the most relevant college basketball program in the country.

until the NCAA uncovers the mother-load...

Is that when Calipari vacates ANOTHER final 4? UMess - Memphis - Kentucky - Next school?

Is it only me or does it look like AD has a really low release point on his outside shot. Not that he will be taking alot of these. Though you even see this also on his turnaround. I'm sure he will just over power most in college but I wonder if that is some concern to the coaching staff.

His offensive game needs some work. His mid-range game is inconsistant and, by his admission, he needs to really work on his low post/back to the basket game. I'm sure the staff knows that, and with his athleticism and talent I bet he improves those aspects of his game pretty quickly with the help of the UConn staff. I think he'll do most of his scoring (at first) facing the basket and driving by his man, on the fastbreak, and with tip-ins and putbacks. Basically using his athleticism to his advantage, much like he does in high school.

Chris Webber is a good comparison. I think Dwight is a pretty good comparison, actually, because he actually did have a pretty good handle in high school.

I agree. Both are good comparisons. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for AD to acclimate to next level. One thing I noticed during the Adidas game that I watched was he tended to rush his shot when shooting off the dribble. He was very good at getting to or close to the rim, but then thew up a few wild shots that had no chance of going in. I have a feeling he's going to struggle finishing off the dribble early on. Hopefully by the end of this season he will learn to control his body and square to the hoop better as a result of getting some solid coaching under his belt.

Any interview with Drummond after he committed?

He announces on Twitter:
It's official I'm heading to the university of connecticut to be a husky this year! Do I hear #repeat #huskyfam @aoriakhi34

F Paint is a hypocrite. His man-crush purged 6 scholasrhip players from the team. He calls Calhoun a cheater for text messages when his coach has made his first trip to the final four on three separate occasions.

How can anyone be mad about someone doing such a great job of making a fool of himself?

Well put.

Good call. I wonder if this thread holds the record for most views.
