2025 Recruiting: Jacob Furphy Commits to UConn!

[Fatroony5]

Being able to pass with both hands and start a drive with both feet is so underrated. Love to see that

Agreed. It’s fun watching these international players and how they’re taught to play the game. Super skilled, fundamentally sound, smart players. Lots of countries really placing a huge emphasis on player development and it shows. Excited to see what Furphy can bring.

 

[Brochacho]

Very fun, very cool.

I love Hurley's mean mug in these pictures. Makes me laugh every time.

This kid is going to be a stud. I feel it in my plums.

Ashley Schaefer agrees.

Crocodile Furphy

 

[HuskyFich]

Who else was he considering?

 

[RuffRuff]

Didn’t realize 247 even listed him.

 

[UConnKev]

 

[DRBackup]

Ah, the 30-0 run cannot be watched enough times

 

[UConnKev]

Duke was recruiting him?

 

[superjohn]

He’s already grown 2”

He measured 6'4.5 barefoot 210 lbs eight months ago.

 

[AntG168]

He measured 6'4.5 barefoot 210 lbs eight months ago.

So he’s probably 6’5.5 with shoes on

 

[J187Money]

The more I watch this the more I feel bad for the Illini (my Dad's alma mater). That is just brutal.

 

[Austin316]

As Ricky Bobby once said, “I’m on fire”

Hurley is hot on the recruiting trail!

 

[AntG168]

Also, for anyone who doesn’t think Solo is on a 2 and done plan. LOL.

This is further proof

 

[superjohn]

It's funny how little this board talked about his game compared to how scouts talk about his game. We got a stud.

They don't have him listed. He's a top 50 player if he's American. I don't know how and where they're getting 4 star ranked #152 from.

 

[UCLJ0211]

So did I hearing about this commitment.

Love lefties who can stroke it from deep.

Richard Kent, though.

They just made a page for him. If you click and view UConn’s class it shows him 152nd. Not sure if that will change. I agree that he’s certainly far better than 152nd regardless

You forgot Reibe , everyone of them are legit 3 point shooters.

I didn't forget. You can only have three members in a trio.

Feel free to make a list of four players if you'd like to do so.

 

[UConn Dan]

Richard Kent, though.

Who is Richard Kent?

 

[alexd]

When we wakeup tomorrow this kid is going to be a 6''-8" PF.
