Ezi Magbegor - Exclusive Thread

Please use this thread to discuss recruit Ezi Magbegor.

The 22-page earlier thread finally succumbed to terminal topic drift, as had its predecessor.

This one will be monitored against diversions. Be forewarned before you spend a lot of time composing your masterpiece response about somebody or something else.

Has she committed to UCONN?

Has she committed to UCONN?

We're not sure. She seems to be meandering toward that decision: see the evidence in the final pages of the now locked thread.

So that people don't need to meander around that locked thread, this is the main "evidence", which has not been withdrawn or modified.

Watching the footage on Ezi, she is really amazing. If Ezi decides to commit to UConn, what a treasure for Coaches C.D. and Marissa. With the guidance and coaching of C.D. and Marissa, Ezi will be much better than Kalani Brown. Ezi will definitely benefit more at UConn than UCLA....just my opinion.

Just curious. Why Kalani Brown?

Ezi and Kalani are post players, and both are good.

 

[Ozzie1986]

She's a leaner, shorter, faster more athletic kalani brown.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ezi is more mobile than Kalani Brown. I don’t know who to compare her to, but Stewie, Azura, and Candace Parker come to mind as very rough approximations. Maybe Tina too.

 

[CocoHusky]

Ezi and Kalani are post players, and both are good.

Thanks for clarifying. Kalani is a very good AA post player. Ezi is TBD, especially if she decides to come to UCONN. They are vastly different players: Kalani cannot beat you off the dribble form the top of the key or the wing, where as that one of the strenghts of Ezi's game. Ezi runs the floor like a deer with little effort while Kalani labors in the transition game.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Plus she’s right-handed.

With development, she'll have a similar game to Wilson.

Far more mobile than A’ja.

 

[JordyG]

Far more mobile than A’ja.

Better in transition as well.

Is this supposed to be a compliment? If so, there has to be some better choices, imo.

 

[Shmermerer]

I would say she is similar to Glory Johnson than anyone I can think of. Super athletic and explosive. Haven't seen any mid-range game.

College player she's most likely is Monique Billings, but a better version IMO.

Johnson is a great comparison. Ezi definitely has a mid range game as seen in her recent workout video with Sandy Brondello. Edited 3/15/18: Another great comparison of Ezi (credit my wife for thinking of this one) is Sophia Young who played and won a National Championship at Baylor.

Ok, you lost me, did you forget the emoji or are you seriously dissing A’ja Wilson, which I understand the competitive angst, but she’s a marvelously skilled player who matched expectations heaped upon her, of which were very high. I would be ecstatic if Ezi comes close.

Not dissing A'ja specifically (I personally believe she's overrated, as is Kelsy Mitchell, Chennedy Carter to name a couple) but seeing how this is a UConn board, maybe compare her to a Husky.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Are we all jumping the gun here? Ezi has said nothing. UConn has said nothing. No confirmations to the press.

In other words, it appears that this is all idle speculation based on an aside comment in one newspaper.

Have I got that right?

From what I have gathered, Yup.

Speculation on the Boneyard is rarely "idle."

Carl Adamec has tweeted that UConn has not heard from Ezi in regards to the article mentioning UConn.

That statement from UConn means nothing. They could have gotten a verbal from her without her mentioning the article, or maybe Adamec has spoken with her or one of her representatives and the article was mentioned. Why would UConn even ask about the article?

To me the article is most-likely factual and the writer simply jumped the gun about something that is well known to the player, her coaches and family & her soon to be former team. And in any case I doubt we will hear anything official till mid-April.

I completely agree. That was a carefully worded statement by UConn. They could have easily said she hasn't verballed or signed but instead they said they didn't hear from her about the article.....she's coming but one of the parties wants it to be an event.....

I think it’s fact-based too, but have no proof or confirmation. I have heard that Ezi likes UConn, but I don’t know if she likes UCLA or staying home even more.

UConn is starting the NCAA's and I believe she has a big tournament coming up so it may just be that both sides want to save it till those things are over and behind them.

 

[DefenseBB]

From what I have gathered, Yup.

You and @Fairfield Fan are being killjoys! We are all feeling really good about ourselves and you’re raining on the parade. We feel this writer is absolutely, 100%, Pulitzer Prize winning, highest integrity scribe in the Southern Hemisphere who knows a friend whose cousin is married to a uncle who once sat next to Mr. Macbegor at 31 Flavors...so what he says is good by us!! Blame @Sluconn Husky for starting this...

On a serious note, I actually do feel pretty good about the quote as the writer has been heavily following the story for a while.

UConn by rule can't say anything until she has signed her NLI.
