Hoophall Classic this weekend

[HooperScooper]

If anyone is thinking about going here's the schedule and an article about what recruits will be there. It's a great event to see some of the best high school talent. Darius Adams is playing at 9:00 pm on Saturday. Lots of 2026 recruits there also. Some of the games are on ESPNU, some on NBA TV, and some on BallerTV. La Lumiere and Adams will be on BallerTV.

Thanks for the schedule but are there other games? I know Burlington VT boys are playing but I do not see them listed. They are rated the top team in VT and have a couple of players who may be low D1 players. Abdi Shariff, 6'5" who plays center but is a natural 3 and a lightening quick sophomore point guard, Pascal Munezero.

No idea but I don't see them on the schedule.

I forgot that on Monday, MLK Day, at 5:00 Darius Adams is playing on ESPNU. Might want to check that one out since most of us probably have ESPNU. They're playing Long Island Lutheran (Jayden Ross played there) who has Dylan Mingo, a 6-5 junior point guard who I hope to see UConn recruiting. He's a Hurley type of guard who plays defense hard. Here's a recent article on him: https://247sports.com/article/top-2...recruitment-after-breakout-weekend-243681149/

Here's a roster break down of each team, which is helpful.

Gavin Keefe can't write articles on UConn games but he goes up to Springfield and writes an article on Adams? What is going on at The Day?

Here's another article on Adams from the Courant. Not a good game for him last night. Must have also been depressed about the Huskies losing.

“I think (Dan Hurley) is gonna be able to bring more dog out of me,” he said. “So I’m excited for that, I’m excited to be in the program. I’m excited to work. … Definitely getting stronger, that’s my No. 1 priority, my body. And then just getting my handle tighter, being stronger with the ball, all those kind of things.”

Reminder that Adams is playing at 5:00 today and the game is on ESPNU if you want to check it out.

One more article on Adams. This one from Borges. This is the best of the 3 if you only want to read one. Some quotes from Kimani Young in here, who was at the game on Saturday night.

"That's become a huge part of our offense, perimeter shooting," Young noted. "But to have multiple guys that can play multiple positions and switch, be able to rebound from the guard spot, I think was important for us."

"We're excited about him," said Young. "Whenever you can get a kid like that, with his pedigree. He's been a top-20 player in his class since his freshman year, plays on the EYBL Scholastic circuit. He's going to come in with experience that a lot of guys that come out of high school just don't have."
