Checked some stuff online on this kid word is "immense potential" and "could dominate college and ultimately NBA"

I guess one good thing came out of this bum ass night...Welcome Javonte Brown Ferguson good times ahead!!! I gotta wonder how long DU and the staff knew. The sports coat came off quite quick and he wasn’t overly hyped tonight... he knows he is turning this thing around.

Glad the start of the game didn't scare him away. Welcome to UCONN Javonte!!!!!

That's great now if we can get some guards that play under control and can run some plays. Low basketball IQ. It's been killing Uconn the last few years.

Congrats, @Chief00 !

Thanks - Chief was glad to Confirm+ the verbal via DM to my Baltimore visiter homey.

Only good news tonight but thank you Javonte Brown Ferguson, took a little pain from a very rough night.

 

[nadavtheman]

It really stinks that we can't even fully and wholeheartedly enjoy this after the way we played tonight

Brown-Ferguson’s official visit to UConn was the weekend of Oct. 20. He said as soon as he got on campus, he got the vibe it was the place for him.

“The moment I realized was when I first stepped on campus and I saw all the guys practicing and saw the assistant coaches and how intense they are and how the players took to them,” he said. “You can tell they really want to win. I want to be a part of that culture.”

For all those doubters in the other thread who kept saying UConn wasn't getting him. All the signs were there.

Poor kid

Have to admit I laughed out loud. Not a fan of all the negativity and outright player bashing that takes place after a bad loss, but that just hit the perfect note.

 

[superjohn]

Don't want a horrendous performance to spoil this good news. There is no excuse for how bad we were tonight and Hurley has to get them playing much better but this team is going to get a lot better once we see Cole, Gaffney, Bouknight, Jackson, Akok, Javonte etc. on the court. I hope we get good sooner but we may have to completely cycle out the players Ollie brought in before we become legit good again.

Javonte is young and needs to get more explosive and stronger but he's the only guy with an NBA big man frame we've brought in years. He has a huge wingspan, huge hands, and finishing/touch around the rim. He may take a little bit but way more upside than Josh.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Javonte!!!

 

[uconnbill]

Got the big man that Hurley and the coaching staff wanted.

Now onto the spring and see what shakes forth

Why on earth would you congratulate Chief?? So bizarre

 

[Pudge]

I don’t get it

you’re excited about this big new kid ... but you feel it’s ok to side slap Josh Carlton - the reigning AAC Most Improved - for what reason?

Carlton has come a long way. His awareness & simple footwork show a ton of work & his capacity to accept coaching. Don’t like St Joes game by him ... we knew he had an odd matchup going on.

If you're responding to me, yes I'm far more excited for Javonte than I am Josh, also far more excited for Bouknight than Vital, Jackson than Polley. The coaching staff is too.

Because Chief had the info before anyone else. He could drop receipts too, if he wanted. But Chief is too humble for that. I suspect he's just happy we landed our guy.

 

[3rdbass]

I kind of wish we could clean house of guys like Wilson, Whaley, Polley and even Adams as we just need better talent on this team as evident by tonight.

You make me rethink not wanting to use the the Dislike button.

I just wish the talent level could be raised significantly and we could bring in better recruits now that Hurley seems to be doing well on the recruiting trail. The talent level needs to be raised especially going into the big east.

 

[MadMax1999]

Just need to ride the next year out. We’ll be in the Big East soon and more of Hurley’s own guys are coming in.
