I asked this awhile ago and never got an answer. Why did Jalen take a PG year when we clearly could have used another ballhandler and he appears to be talented enough to have played at the D1 level?

That has been the plan for several years now. He reclassified to the class of 2015 back in 2012. It wasn't like it was a last second decision to do a PG year rather than enroll in college.
 
While we always want our commits to get the recognition they deserve, talented guards that come to Storrs with a chip on their shoulders tend to do pretty good in the long run.

Can we imagine next years team without Adams? The thought is scary.

Why would I imagine next year's team without a guy that is committed and signed? Never really understood that thought process, or similar posts like imagine this team without Boat, or the last 2 years without Bazz. Why picture a team without talent that is there or going to be there?

I figured that Adams would get snubbed out of the McDonald's All American game but now it is official as the 24 member team was announced.


As always, this list is arbitrary and ultimately means nothing espcially when it comes to developing UConn future stars...would have liked to seemhis stellar play rewarded. He outplayed current Brewster teammate Donovan Mitchell and the rest of that star studded backcourt yet still no love

Either ay I am as excited as I can remember for an incoming PG recruit. I wouldn't trade JA for any other recruit (yes even your precious Diamond)

He's not eligable because of his student classification - I am fairly sure of this
 
UPDATE ON 247, because so many people care

JA- #32
SE- #65

Personally, I love the "underrated" recruits we bring in. It helps build our brand as a developmental school that breeds players. IMO, that is one of the best reputations you can have.

That is correct, and it has been discussed in 2 other threads as well, but here we are again...........

I know its like imagining that Lunardi's chart counts for something.
 
Good. The McD's game means less than nothing. It has done UConn more harm than good.

247 has Adams at 52nd or so. Their composite has Adams at 32. Same deal with Enoch but in reverse.
 
Their scouting reports out of high school are pretty similar, with Trimble being the better 3 point shooter. Size wise they are the same. Trimble was 29th in the ESPN rankings, Adams 24th. Or do I only think this because they have the same haircut?

Well like Bazz and Boat, he will be Ollie's clay. That's one major advantage, so lets anxiously await and see what's molded.
 
I think he has what it takes to be special right away. If he works hard, he can be an immediate impact player. Huge impact player. He may not score the way that Boat is right now, but I think this year at Brewster is really teaching him how to run an offense, which is something we desperately need. If only he were on the team this year. What a difference he would make. Let's hope he can step right in and run the show.

No doubt in my mind he can. Who's Melo Trimble?
Expand ...
Arguably the third best freshman in the country. Averages 16/3/3/1 on 44/40/88 shooting. If you haven't seen him play I definitely recommend watching Wisconsin @ Maryland Tuesday.

Melo Trimble and D'Angelo Russell are both unreal freshman guards this year...praying Jalen can be just as good as them!
 
I think Adams will be a stud, Purvis will be more consistent, DHam will be an AA candidate. wild cards are will Brimah be much improved and more consistent, and what will the 4 look like?

Stone would be huge, but I think I have, or anyone who is on this, has a better chance of having a 3-way with Kate Upton and Hannah Davis than Stone coming here.

Just a freshman guard leading a ranked B1G team in scoring. Kinda like Jalen next year.
Expand ...

It would be great if Jalen can lead the B1G in scoring for us next year. But don't you think the B1G will delay our entry a year or two?

I don't think Mark Turgeon thought he'd be this good.
