2021 Recruiting: El Ellis JUCO update 5/21/20

[formerlurker]

Looks like an edit our recruiting team had made for him. We seem to be all-in.

Should have edited in 4 trophies.

Anyone else see some Russ Smith in this kids game?

I like this comp a lot. Gimme Russ Smith all day.

 

[UconnU]

Good guys heavy in the mix

 

[Zionn]

I'd say that list is pretty easily reflective of the equivalent of a 4* player coming out of HS. Kid has tremendous talent--I hope we can get a commitment.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Another target referencing UConn's move to the Big East.

His comments there should end the PG/Combo Guard debate

 

[uconngb]

Forgive my ignorance: HBCU?

Got it, thanks

This statement “Iowa State has been known as Point Guard U. Coach Prohm has had multiple guards come in and turn into pros and that’s big.
UConn is also known for having some really good guards come through the program...” is so disrespectful to the good guys haha

edit- I know he wasn’t actually being disrespectful, just think it’s funny

 

[superjohn]

His comments about having a HBCU on his final list tell me everything I need to know about this kid. I want him badly in a Husky jersey and I think he will be in a Husky jersey.

did RJ cole transferring from Howard make you like him more?

 

[Deuce]

did RJ cole transferring from Howard make you like him more?

Can you really not see the difference given the timing and current events going on in the country or are you really that obtuse?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

For fun, looked through his Twitter comments on his top-8 and tallied fans from certain schools giving shoutouts.

Louisville fans were giving the most love, UConn is #2.

Surprise #3? NCCU. Shout out to their fans for commenting more than Texas Tech, Iowa State and more than Ole Miss, Georgia & Oregon combined. Between Tabor committing yesterday and some top prospects listing HBCU's in their top-lists, it's an interesting development for a lot of previously forgotten and underfunded teams.

Grinding hard. Now our beloved Casual Fans understand better the Chief chess vs checkers reference in the Patterson thread. Staff has multiple precious balls in the air.

 

[Watchdog]

Like how polite and respectful Ellis is when commenting on the teams that made his final eight. For example: "Ole Miss: Has had multiple pros come through."

Translation: Many opposing teams have brought future professional players to play in games at Ole Miss.

You said someone is committing, Ellis isn't committing in June.

Ellis has been recruited by the NC coach for 6 years this isn’t something he just thought of 2 weeks ago.

And if you’re implying the events of the last 2 weeks shouldve opened my eyes then you dont know me, I’ve been on the right side of history.

Another full game for those with too much time on their hands

 

[husky99]

Still hearing he are in great shape

I don't want him if he aren't
