Great now make sure he starts getting on a proper weight gain program. Love the pick up as he seemed very active around the basket and seems to pass the ball well for a big man.

He mentioned the new strengtg and conditioning coach as a major reason why he committed

 

[chaplin]

What can you tell us about his game. Anyone you can compare him to?

A mix of Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman.

That's Vital's number - it might just be a generic jersey they use for visits.

Haven't seen too much, but I've heard him be compared to a less athletic facey, probably will be a nice backup for a few years, likely starter as a senior. Not much of a rebounder yet though.

"One of their coaches, worked with one of my favorite NBA players, Anhtony Davis," Whaley said. "The strength coach, I was impressed with what he was talking about. He got him to gain weight and that's what I want him to do with me. That set it over the top." Love seeing this.

Confused me, perhaps vital is switching numbers? We should be able to get a jersey made for each recruit during visits, thought that was something every school did.

Credit Ricky Moore with the addition of 3-star 6-8 F Isaiah Whaley to #UConn ... If Huskies can add Sid Wilson, 2017 Class would be elite

"I can help them immediately with my defense and running the floor," Whaley said. "I feel when they put more weight on me I can help more inside."

I like that

"Really it's just a great fit for me," Whaley said. "Their plans fit my plans. They run a high tempo offense and that's the offense I fit in."


Since 2015, we've ranked 299th, 292nd and 303rd in offensive tempo....

Yeah, not a fan either.

 

[GemParty]

Imagine having the opportunity to work with a top NBA personal trainer. Priceless. Kid must be thrilled with the opportunity. Watch this kid transform. Welcome Pork Chop.

 

[UConnDan97]

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Isaiah!!!

 

[Walker11]

Yeah, not a fan either.

I'll devour UCONN content but I can't even stoop to checking on one of the 2 UCONN centered team blogs.

Back to the topic, happy to have Isaiah here. He is a good program guy who looks to have upside and a bright future down the road. We need to sustain some positive momentum and land some guys who can impact immediately but I am psyched to see what our new SC can do to this kids body. No more sun salutations, thats for sure.

Pork Chop!?!? I love it - get hungry, Pork Chop, get hungry!

Nobody is talking Mamadou 2, this guy is a 100 slots better. We'll get a good wing for this year and a good transfer like Poyser for next year, something tells me Daniels
isn't happening
