I mean we offered him and he follows KO on twitter. Think there is some level of interest.

On the Boneyard that's good enough to pencil you in for 10ppg next season.

Ever since Seton Hall had Karnisovas and then Janulis at Cuse etc....I've been waiting for us to get our first Lithuanian.
I remember Linas Kleiza visiting Storrs. But that was not going to happen.

Officially, Brazdeikis is a Lithuanian Canadian. But I'll take him. ;)
 
Love the footwork and passing and attack mentality. Would be a tremendous add to this UConn team!

If he's in love with playing the 3, I don't see him coming here.

If he (unlike Vance) recognizes he's too slow to play the 3, and knows to play a 3/ stretch 4 combo he could fit in here.

Really it's a win win. Get a bigger player on you so you can beat him on offense with speed, ball handling, but be able to use your weight on defense, and hide some of your slowness.

Would LOVE to have him. I'm thinking a deandre Daniels with a better game off the bounce, but without the shot blocking. I could deal with that

This is a second coming of Chris Mullin
 
His coming to UConn would be very awesome and very unlikely. He looks like he can do just about everything (that they chose to show us...no defense really, of course). He has very nice form and touch on his shots, uses his size well, can score inside with either hand, has a nice looking spin move, and has good court vision. He seems to have some toughness about him, as well.

Alex, pretty sure that.
Jim Abromitas was a Lithuanian

Also from the Zagsblog article, since a significant number of people on here like to give weight as to if a recruit mentions us in his quotes... and if he does, where he puts us in his list of names:

“The schools I hear the most from are schools like UConn, Florida, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Illinois, SMU and Oklahoma, probably,” he said.

- NUMERO UNO

Our chances appear much better than "very unlikely" (as stated in a previous post) at this point.

And for anyone wondering if we are "doing enough" to make Ignas feel wanted by us? According to Ignas himself, the word is: YES.

Now, let's reel in that tuna!

Shheesh ... you are hard to please.

He has the LITHUANIAN part. We can give him a dozen tie-dyed and let him listen to your weekend schmaltzy home country MUZAK. He has plenty of time to get the American part (wtf ... is there against Canada - better health care?)

We need someone to compile all of the time recruits have listed the schools they are interested in, and the percentage of time the first school listed is where they end up. I'd be interested in seeing that.
