Ishmael El-Amin

[Devland]

How is his ability to jump up on the scorers table?

 

[Husky Dad]

This game was really important in my life. It taught me no matter how far you are down you can still come back and win, And jump on the damn scorers table and yell at your haters.

 

[intlzncster]

Lol, yep, that was my reaction as well. KEA was one of my favorite Huskies. If his son is good enough, I'd love to have him here.

To be fair, Khalid already had kids when he was at UCONN. All up he's got 7 in total!

 

[KembaStepback]

Ish El-Amin is ranked in the 30s in the class of 2017.

Seems like a guy Ollie would go after. Keeping UConn basketball a FAMILY. Kid looks like he knows how to play, and looks like a team player and good passer.

 

[Palatine]

You know I'd love to have him here, but I wonder if it wouldn't be better for him to go somewhere his dad would cast quite so large a shadow.

It's been long enough that he will be his own man.

 

[temery]

Has uconn ever had brothers, or father and son play ?

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

Steve and Tim Pikiell

 

[Jerry1714]

Ish was 4 when we won it in '99, do not feel too old, Khalid just got started early.

 

[Kitaman]

Hope he got his balls too!

That's what she said.

No way. The kid has moxie like the old man we sign him in a heartbeat. Bet he has his dad's shooting gene.

Jeff and Omar Calhoun.

 

[Stainmaster]

Jeff and Omar Calhoun.

Tom and Ricky Moore came first though, right?

 

[CallMeBruce]

Tom and Ricky Moore came first though, right?

Not before the Dons Marshall.

 

[tentoes4rings]

And of course Rip and Daniel Hamilton.

 

[Jerry1714]

And of course Rip and Daniel Hamilton.

First came Justin and Taliek Brown though

 

[Scoe]

The question is can he beat his old man today in a one on one game, Khalid is still playing overseas at age 35.

 

[jibsey]

The question is can he still beat his old man one on one, Khalid is still playing overseas at age 35.

I would say no not at this point cause i bet his dad can shoot even better than when he was a Husky, but in 2 years he will run circles around him.

A backcourt of Ishmael El-Amin and Tremont Waters sounds good to me.

 

[tentoes4rings]

A backcourt of Ishmael El-Amin and Tremont Waters sounds good to me.

Even a backcourt of Nelson Muntz and Tremont Waters sounds good to me.

 

[Ricker]

Rod Sellers - Player
Pat Sellers - Coach

 

[superjohn]

Even a backcourt of Nelson Muntz and Tremont Waters sounds good to me.

Nelson Muntz would argue the defender into submission.

 

[BoatShow]

I can't wait for the recruiting violations if anyone from UConn ever gave him anything. A little too risky. I recently researched the 00 game vs Arizona. They actually suspended someone on that team because UofA booster Bill Walton aka the father of Luke Walton-player on the team housed one of the players for a while.

 

[tentoes4rings]

Nelson Muntz would argue the defender into submission.

Haha. I stretched a bit there but my point was I like Waters so much you could pair him up with any doofus and I'd be happy.

 

[Fishy]

I know he's Khalid's son and all, but it's important that the kid find his own way and create his own legacy....at UConn.

 

[superjohn]

Haha. I stretched a bit there but my point was I like Waters so much you could pair him up with any doofus and I'd be happy.

You definitely got a laugh out of me.

 

[Sportsman5]

any updates on his recruitment?

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Update coming in 20 minutes.

 

[Leebo]

Ish was 4 when we won it in '99, do not feel too old, Khalid just got started early.

He's 20 years old and in class of 2017?
