Ollie just followed him, Shittu & Nembhard (5-star 2019 PG), all from Canada.

Chillious and him clearly want in on that pipeline. Totally fair too, because although they've had a great stretch recently, there is no recruiting pipeline that Oregon basketball should monopolize.

By the way... I see @CGarr got the KO follow too. Lace up man.

This kid scored 50 against Prolific Prep. That high school team might have been able to beat UConn last year (maybe not... but I'm barely kidding...). They're no joke. Elite team.

No idea what our chances are, but I'll take that firepower at 6'8 any day. Seems a little like Vance Jackson in the skilled but slow 3/4 combo mold, with a nice shot.

So he's half as good as denham brown?
 
Iggy would be an absolutely awesome addition....promise him good stuff, like lots of playing time.

For the love of god, ENOUGH with the excuses!!!!! He has been on a bunch of these 2017 and 2018 kids since middle school too. He changed schools, not bodies. His work prior to UConn doesn't suddenly get erased from the minds of these kids. Land studs, NOW, or you have failed.

People are already writing off 2017/2018. 2016/2017 was an embarassment. The nanosecond anyone attempts to make an excuse for 2018/2019 is the nanosecond at which Ollie should be fired.

Who's making excuses for 18-19? No one's making excuses about next year just some can accept reality better than others. Ain't pretty as of now, but to say it every fn day is ridiculous.

Who said anyone is making excuses for 18/19? I said, as soon as anyone does, Ollie should be fired. Why? Because that means there is already a reason to be concerned and, based on recent precedent, that usually means all hell is about break loose.

And you are not paying attention if you think people aren't making excuses for next year. They were making excuses months ago. Lingering injury effects...impacts from sanctions...and so on. Now we have "the change". When I see Ollie at an Iggy game, I will believe in his intent to change.

I'm not writing off any season or recruit for that matter but if you believe that coaches can produce from day one
you are going to be disappointed. There are good players out there and we'll land some. It will be time to complain if we don't.

Most of us don't think there's any need to "excuse" something that hasn't happened yet and in all probability won't happen - a bad 2017-18 season. We will have 3 stars, not 1, on the court next year, that means a big improvement over last year's 16-17 record. We will have at least 9 scholarship players, not 6, and all will want to be here, not 3, that also means a big improvement.

From what I've seen, the people who think 2017-18 will be a bad year are mostly those who think that every year will be a bad year, and feel compelled to tell everyone that opinion, over and over again. They're not making "excuses" either -- they are loaded for bear and not willing to excuse anything.

Been watching a few of this kids' games. Some of the things that caught my eye were

- Really nice shot. Could tweak his off hand release a little, but it's pretty sharp.
- Not a super athlete, but not a stick in the mud like some guys last year.
- No info on defense. AAU sucks.
- He does a lot of little things that other kids haven't learned yet. The tiny things that separate good scorers from the elite. twitchy fakes on the dribble to keep defenders guessig, angle on the footwork and keeping the shoulder low driving, seeking contact etc.
- Handles the ball well for a 3/4 in transition. Not in the half court so much.

Really like this kid. Sign him up and get him to reclass KO!

Those "little things" are, to me, so important when projecting players. That's when you know a guy is an elite scorer and not just an athlete getting by or anything like that.

Good to hear, thanks for the report. I hope we get and stay on him before he blows up.
 
Would be nice, perfect fit, especially with 2017 reclassify. Does seem like long shot though, he has about 16 offers from schools, and Uconn is pretty late to the party. Longshot better than no shot!!
 
Do we know if he has any interest in us? All we know right now is that KO followed him on twitter and that Chillious watched him.
