good read on kromah

[HooperScooper]

Reality is that he's probably a decent player. Hobbs obviously still likes him and has convinced Ollie he's worth taking on (over a 7' German). He should be a solid enough role player at worst, and a really nice option at best.

People need to stop saying that Ollie took away Wolf's scholarship to give to Kromah. That's not how things went down. They filled the scholarship after the decision was made to strip Wolf of his. It wasn't an "either or" decision.

You're very welcome my friend. The thing is everybody's a scout everybody's a genius on here. And I have seen a lot of lasan. My little brother played against himm in aau and high school.I've seen him do so much. and hobbs knows. Everybody is talking about his last years' stats but whut about his stats when hobbs was the coach?? Im telling you i havent seen much of calhoun but he better be first round draft material right now or else his spot is in jeopardy. Imtelling you this kid is good Indiana wanted him to replace oladipo. Xavier was begging him to come and they were in the a10 wit him. Why do you think so? They're moving to what was formerly you guys' conference. You think they wanted him as a role player?? you guy will see

If he shoots 39% from 3 like he did his frosh year under Hobbsy then let them fly........I'm thinking while hyper may be a bit overzealous he is more correct than not and that's a good thing!!

did u hear what ollie said about kromah???

 

[hyperthink]

he played one season for hobbs. put up good numbers and was all freshman a 10. second leading scorer and had a greenlight to shoot. u cant just jack on most teamd. a lot of the time its the coach that allows u to shoot

did u hear what ollie said about kromah???? its coming to fruition #evillaughter

 

[Drumguy]

How is he eligible right away? I can't find the answer, and I know someone here knows.

graduated from GW, playing as a grad student- with one year of eligibility left due to injury.

 

[sledog]

He's graduating from GW and coming in as a graduate student.

Must be why the UConn roster has his year listed as 'GS'. So this will be his only year at UConn?

I'm not sure I did? What was that hyp?

I saw what Miller said: "Lasan Kromah – “..is a 2/3. He was injured as a sophomore but graduated in four years, kind of like RJ Evans, so he has another year of eligibility. He’s a tremendous, tremendous addition to the team. He can really score and like Omar, has a real swagger”."

LMAO. When Hobbs was the coach Kromah was on the bench during most crunch times because Hobbs couldn't trust either his D or his decision making. Hobbs went apesh** on Byron Kerr, the play by play guy on Federal News Radio after a game, for asking why Kromah wasn't in at crunch time because Hobbs had no way to answer the question without embarassing the young man.

Kromah was a good A-Ten player. He was not a great A-Ten player. His athletic skills are still better than his feel for the game, and his shooting hasn't improved a lick since he came to Foggy Bottom.

That being said, he has the potential to be a bigger help than Evans was against top level competition, and to score some points on a day when others are cold. I'm not knocking the young man or UConn for giving him a scholly, but ....

Happy to see you are alive...

I'm excited about getting Kromah! He wants UConn!! And that makes him great in my book. Funny how posters have turned to laughing at a poster whom they think is over the top by making digs at a kid who has no part in this and who is bleeding husky blue. I guess I'm the only one who finds this strange.

A post that inspires mentions of RutgersAl, Sidd Finch, random potshots at a likely good addition, and a well-appreciated call for perspective.

I just want to know is it too much to ask, on behalf of Huskybass, what kind of shoes he wears?

He's more hyper than thinker amirite.

how'd he look?

 

[hyperthink]

Why would you demand that? He is hyping up a UConn player. He's not saying an obvious inferior opponent is better than UConn.

If Kromah is half the player Hyperthink believes he is, I'll be more than satisfied in watching UConn earn their 4th Mens National Championship.

Does he look likehalftheplayer i think he is

 

[hyperthink]

I'd be more than happy if we got 5ppg from Kromah, no way in hell is he approaching 14-16, especially off the bench.

Should have had 11 last night

Settle down, Chief. I was defending you.

He didn't play bad at all, but it was only one game. There were many a player during Calhoun's run who were OOC superstars and never had anything but splinters to show for the In Conference Schedule. Only time will tell how Ollie handles his bench.

Really impressed with Kromah's shooting so far. Was expecting the skillset around the rim and his ability to hawk passing lanes is a huge bonus, but his shooting from 3 over the first 3 games is away above his average coming in, will be interesting to see it it holds.

Came in to college as a shooter. Was 35% as a freshman
