JaKeen Gant

[UConNation]

First, I think he's been measured recently at 6-8, at least.

Second, as we have now seen at least a dozen times, the fact that you're an appropriate height for an NBA position has ZERO impact on whether you can play that position at the college level. Let's put a 6-8 guy in the backcourt and have him check a bunch of 6-2 college shooting guards....

I'll agree with you that if he's 6'8" that he's likely not going to end up being a SG in college. You missed my point on the last post. I'm saying that if he is in fact 6'6" and he doesn't gain some weight then he's likely going to be a SG at UConn. Again, 6'8" he probably get's moved to SF, 6'6" probably not.

In my opinion, we stopped going after JaKeenan for a reason. Coach Ollie must know something about AMA, Larrier, White, or Devin Robinson. Any combo of those 4 would be outstanding.

Never seemed like we were recruiting Gant that hard, even after the offer. I would definitely like to see the staff focus on Hill again.

Hamilton told me he's 6'8" 1/2. Also what he measured in as at Lebron camp.

He's a good basketball player somewhere between 6-6 1/2 and 6-8 1/2 so I really don't care.............with shoes on he's a damn good basketball player and we can't wait for him to don the National Flag Blue!!

Height alone does not disqualify a player from playing a certain position. I don't care if Daniel Hamilton is 7'5'' - if he shoots and handles the ball like a shooting guard, then he can play shooting guard.
