2020 Recruiting: Ishmael El-Amin to transfer

[awfuldan]

Not sure if we’d have any interest, but it would certainly be a cool story. Coming off a real strong season.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Would have to sit one to play one unless the one time transfer rule happens

Can he put on 75 lbs?

Can he put on 75 lbs?

Eventually.

Eventually.

He just needs a few more 7-11 runs with his dad.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

This would be awesome. Big guard.

 

[Hoophound]

Was he at Ball St 1 year or two?

3

 

[Hoophound]

3

Wow. Time flies.

 

[KingAG]

Would be a great story. But we need a more sure talent I believe. We need to win with Bouk next season, before he bounces

 

[Hoophound]

Agreed. If he had 2 years left then maybe, but for 1 year, I don’t see it.

 

[BuffaloHusky]

I was surprised at how much I liked his hi-lites. I think he's an option but not a primary one given his lack of eligibility.

 

[Watchdog]

Taller, lighter, quicker and can jump better than Dad. Facial expressions give a hint who Dad is, can shoot the floater like Dad and has a good 3 Pt%, but Griffin sure looks like a better fit for what we need and for two years. Would be a great story though if he came here.

 

[Austin316]

Would be sweet if he was a UConn walk-on next year

 

[CbbisGreat]

why would a player who can get a scholarship to many schools want to come to Uconn to be a walk on.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

If he comes to UConn I wonder if he would move into the Celeron Apartment he grew up in?

Outstanding!!!! Thanks

Doesn't sound like a walk-on with that kind of interest...

 

[bfs3]

I can't tell if it's my UConn bias or not but I always thought Khalid should have stuck around the league. He played well for the Bulls his rookie season. Don't forget his Dad was a top recruit and a Mr. Basketball winner in High School.

Who said anything about walk on? He's not my first choice, but if we end up with him he'd be a solid guard option off the bench. A third PG would be a nice luxury.

 

[superjohn]

Guys who average 14 ppg on 40% three point shooting don't walk-on anywhere. I would be happy to have him.

 

[Dooooooomed]

@Mooch82 @superjohn I agree.

[CbbisGreat]

those of you who suggest he will be a walk on insult this young man . He will have many scholarship offers from very good schools

 

[Huskyforlife]

Literally one person said walk on, and he obviously didn't understand his talent level. He'd be a solid addition for sure.

Khalid played well. He should have stuck but he went overseas and he never tried that hard to come back. He was making big money and he couldn’t bring himself to take a pay cut to play in the NBA. He hoped he’d get a sizable offer based on his performance overseas. He wasn’t going to play in the CBA.

Ball State was also a very good team. There’s no way people realize this based on the comments I’m seeing. Kenpom had them 116th overall and 37th in Defensive Efficiency. El-Amin led them in minutes playing the 2/3. He must be a solid defender.

 

[KingAG]

@superjohn and @UConnStats made me go on a YouTube search. And I must say myself and others have been completely disrespectful. This kid can shoot, and play. Add on that he’s KEA son. Why the hell not. I’m for it
