With AK leaving I can imagine Furphy becoming the next connector/processor that has been so valuable to our success over the last 3 years.

Who is Richard Kent?

Cousins with Clark - and he’s always spreading bad info. Insider wannabe.

Cousin of Rutgers Al

 

[Chin Diesel]

Very fun, very cool.

Very demure.

 

[ToolzieFan]

From January:



Sounds like another great pickup!

 

[uconnfan68]

Time zones, son.

That Date Line can be a killer.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Cousins with Clark - and he’s always spreading bad info. Insider wannabe.

Are you claiming that he's related to superman?


(Clark Kent reference)

 

[Chin Diesel]

That Date Line can be a killer.

Cousin through marriage? Yes.
Cousin through blood? No.

 

[Son of Robert]

I really like how tough he comes across; it's right there in front of us. For some reason he reminds of Cam Spencer with this, and the blocky body, and the 3's, and the passing, and the IQ. Welcome to UConn Jacob!

Just looking at the mixtape first time, his passing is off the charts. Great use of the backboard and shooting of course. Hurley and staff are killing it!

 

[UCFan1513]

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

Nah

 

[nomar]

Who is Richard Kent?

Exactly

 

[EROCK CONN]

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

they also have him listed as a SF …..lol

 

[gtcam]

keep recruiting like this and the walk-ons will be All American HS

He's going to play SF for us. He's 6'4.5 without shoes, 6'6" in shoes. Same weight that Castle was listed at. He's got 20 some pounds on Mullins.

Will need to ensure they stock the local caf with imported Roo meat for Jake. In talking with our Australian wine tour guide in Austria last summer, was what she missed most. Let’s make this kid feel at home. Andrea get on it it!

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Top 50 guy for sure

 

[Mooch82]

This is the most “wtf” commitment since Drummond

Tell me you haven’t been paying attention without telling me you haven’t been paying attention.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Does this mean they have stopped recruiting Bundalo? Or that he has eliminated UConn.

 

[HuskyFich]

I think (know) Danny is psycho enough to post this because we’re going for 4 straight championships next year…not because it’s our 4th recruit committed.

 

[gsmooth]

Welcome aboard Husky Nation.

Thank you for choosing UConn, Jacob.

 

[HuskyHawk]

From January:



Sounds like another great pickup!

Yes. I like this.

 

[auror]

Does this mean they have stopped recruiting Bundalo? Or that he has eliminated UConn.

Yes. The former.

 

[alexd]

Love this kid already. Welcome to Storrs.

I continue to wait for our first Lithuanian signing.
