So does Enoch. I don't get it. I thought I heard something about him having graduated and received a degree from Cushing and is at Brewster for like a "prep" year. I wonder if that has something to do with it.

That is the reason, not eligible
 
He's obviously good enough so it must be an eligibility issue
 
From Dave Borges of the Register:

Steve Enoch a McDonald's All-America nominee

Here's the full list of McDonald's AA nominees, which includes a few UConn targets. No Jalen Adams, you ask? That's because he's a postgrad student up at Brewster Academy.

As someone mentioned above, post graduates are not eligible. He could have been nominated last year, which was his senior year in high school. This is the same reason Caron Butler was not a McDonald's AA either.

Ollie's sitting on the baseline, next to Danny Manning.
 
Random: F150 says he needs to improve his 3 pt shooting. But his mechanics always look good to me.

Will he be playing tomorrow?

Nope, Brewster's next game is on Tuesday.

Not sure if they will be airing it, but Steven Enoch plays tonight (against Bruce Brown's team) at 6:30.
 
Jalen finished with 23 points. Can we add him to the roster now? The second semester doesn't start until tuesday
 
Based on the little bit I watched (10 mins of 2H), we are definitely getting a point guard who can score, not a combo shoe-horned into being a point. The offense ran through him consistently, and he did point guard things - getting the team set, finding shooters coming off screens, feeding the post, finding his bigs on the pick and pops, a nice alley oop in transition. Montverde wasn't exactly running college level defense, so his reads were easier than they will be next year, so I'm not saying there won't still be growing pains. After Brewster blew it open, he got sloppy a couple times, and was maybe a bit lazy on D a couple times, but minor quibbles. But he did things that someone with point guard skills does (ie not just locking in on the rim after beating his man).

Mitchell is a terrific athlete and is great around the rim. But he's small for his game - will be interesting to see how that projects to the next level.

Would you know where to find rosters for all the teams playing today?

Agreed - his mechanics are fine.

If I'm remembering correctly, he has longer arms, which tends to make your form look a little strange. But he has a smooth, effortless-looking jumper that should translate well.
 
Adams is just flat-out terrific.

It's remarkable how much trouble they're having recruiting a wing/shooter to compliment him - Mitchell is a heck of a player and not that we ever had a chance at him, but we're all set with power guards who can't shoot.

That's what we need, a wing to say "nice pass, Jalen" or "hey, I like your socks"

That's where a Giffey would help, because he could give compliments in two languages. Only helps morale.
 
Adams may soon pass his teammates simon and mitchell on 247, just saw an interesting exchange on jerry meyers where he claims to be 'pondering' adams' current ranking.

He's so damn good. Give me a reclassified Bruce Brown and Diamond Stone and next year's team is top 5. Easily.

You watch Adams play and see what Ollie and Uconn accomplished last year and it is bad to believe that we can't get a couple more high quality recruits to sign up. It would be nice for Jalen to come in with a group of talented freshmen.

Tim Fontenault of the Daily Campus has tweeted more than once that after speaking to members of the basketball department/coaches we only have ONE scholarship left to give out for next season.

Everyone else I know and everywhere else I read that we have 2 more. Hopefully its 2
 
We'll be going into next season with 11 players on scholarship if no one else commits. Room for 2 more. Unless there's something that I don't know about the situation.
