Holy crap. Can't imagine the skill set on this kid. A 6'7" 290lbs SF who is in his junior year of HS? A 2014 recruit. This is Hershel Walker, Jim Brown, Shaq O'Neill or Bo Jackson unfair for this kid to be in HS.

290 is huge

;-)

At 290, he's a combo forward in the sense that he's the combination of two smaller forwards. I think he ate both of them.

(He's actually only about 180 pounds.)

 

[CTBasketball]

ESPN says he's 180lbs.

 

[BarkingDog]

Wow. In just a matter of minutes and a few short posts this recruit went from in desperate need of Coach Ollie's workout program to holy crap he needs to hit the weight room.

Screw you both.

If a poster here on the Boneyard says he's 6'7" and 290lbs, I'm gonna believe him over any of these scouting sites (which I checked most of them just to verify they were wrong and the Boneyard was right).

 

[3uconn]

Lmao. Sorry about that I meant 190. ESPN has him at 180, Rivals has him at 190, Scout has him at 205 so 190 is about the average for all three.

 

[Dann]

i heard he has a uncle named bill

 

[progrocks]

How many Morgan units does he weigh?

 

[3uconn]

@TheRecruitScoop: UConn offered 2015 Paul VI (VA) guard Franklin Howard tonight. SMU offered the sophomore earlier in the week.

Has has offers from Florida, Ohio State, NC State among others.

 

[BarkingDog]

That's like what, three or four offers in the last 24 hours? Wonder if Ollie knows something. Like now he can tell recruits with confidence that he will be the coach next year. Just throwin' that out.

 

[uconnforlife]

Love how many 2015 kids Ollie has offered already. Jumping into a kids recruitment early certainly doesn't hurt and it gives KO much more time to develop a relationship with a player then he has had with 2013 kids.

Better start my homework, who else have they offered?

Nyck Smith, Dwayne Morgan, Franklin Howard, Diamond Stone, Stphen Zimmerman Jr. are 2014 and 2015 offers we have discussed lately.

 

[3uconn]

Kevin Ollie is watching Abdul Malik-Abu vs. Jarred Reuter right now.

 

[kelde1wd]

I find it very exciting to be talking about 2014. We all know how helpless and hamstrung we felt about the 2013 class (although there is still some hope for the spring signing period). All this early activity in 2014 & beyond helps keeping us looking toward the future & getting UCONN back to where it belongs. In my humble opinion, after a couple years of rebuilding, we will again be a force with Ollie leading the charge.

So, in other words, nobody knows how much he weighs
But, at 6'7", he is probably in a good weight range for a small forward.

 

[mauconnfan]

He may be good but please let's keep those video's off the BY........heck there are fat 53 year old guys who could contest his game more than anyone tried in that pick up gem........I'll go one further, there are LazyBoy recliners out there who could have done a better job!! That was awful pick up hoops, dreadful.........

 

[CTBasketball]

We need to get Abdul-Abu or Reuter. Both big boys down low.

 

[SeattleHoop]

I really like his energy and shooting touch based on this clip.

Your pretty arrogant sometimes.

[mauconnfan]

Your pretty arrogant sometimes.

Arrogant? Wtf did I say that was arrogant....it was sarcasm and if you think that was a good pick up game then "you're pretty stupid sometimes"!! Geez where do we get these people? Can't even have a laugh anymore.......

I have nothing to be arrogant about I promise you Mikey!!! Just an old Monday QB with an opinion but thanks for yours, it was enlightening!!

Since I'm such an a** let me point out it's "you're arrogant.." not your......

 

[caw]

His jumpshot does look a lot like Rudy Gay's in those clips. His athleticism, not as much. Not a knock on his athletic ability but Rudy was just on another level.
