I grew up in Connecticut and moved to Florida at 13. I am a huge Uconn sports fan and also a huge Gator alumni and fan. One of the insiders on the Florida board has been saying the kid is highly overrated. Very thin and getting pushed around with very little offensive game. Kid also thinks he is a one and done which seems highly unlikely at this time

Not to be funny, but was this after he committed or after he decommited when that board brought up these concerns

Read my mind. And did their coaching staff really not have a good sense of him as a player a few weeks ago? If not, that’s a real indictment of them, but highly doubtful that’s the case.

This was before he decommitted. It is someone on Florida's board who is very connected to the basketball program. He did not like the commitment when received. I honestly have never seen the kid play. I am just passing along some additional information on this kid. If he was to come to Uconn I hope he becomes the next Emeka.
 
I know there were reports of an offer, but his is not a name I heard as a UConn recruit. The logo just seemed to show up on his decision pic.

His high school coach was just hired as an assistant at Texas Tech. I don’t know if that’s meaningful in this case, there is a lot of talent at Sunrise Christian.
 
Definitely a red flag that he decommitted so soon after committing. Pass.

Do you think we're not recruiting a center in this class? It's been a major priority all summer. There's a good shot Singare is never more than a fine back up. He's raw

Before he steps on to campus and he is already delegated to be a permanent fixture on the bench
No chance to improve? I guess you can't count on being coached up in Storrs
He can't be any more raw than SJ who most of this board has penciled in as a bona fide starter and NBA bound

SJ was a highly rated recruit whose athleticism was legendary when he arrived . He also had a great handle , saw the floor as well as anyone and could delivered passes to those guys . His defense was always great . He could not shoot but I think i calling him raw is a bit of hyperbole.
The kid screamed NBA lead guard skills the first time I saw him .
Reminded me of a poor man’s Magic Johnson who was a pretty mediocre shooter in college . Of course Magic’s Basketball IQ was through the roof , AJ ‘s is a WIP .

Are you talking about Andre Jackson? SJ in the post you responded to is Samson Johnson.

I feel like back in the day The Boneyard would've been absolutely relentless and hammering this kids hot takes. Nowadays it seems like it only merits a smirk and a slight headshake.

We've mellowed.

Aren't you the same gang of comics that offered Jaden Rashada 13 million bucks and than yanked the offer after he committed?

You can say hard pass. But to say no Thabeets is incredibly disrespectful to Thabeet and frankly stupid

I disagree, it is not incredibly disrespectful and stupid. I didn't know thabeet was a sore spot. I think of thabeet what NBA teams thought of him after 5 minutes.

Why wouldn't we want a second Thabeet again? Am I missing something? IIRC he was a 7'3 behemoth that averaged almost 5 blocks a game. That's a bad thing?

Also... he's nothing like Thabeet.

As skinny as he is, he'd better be Wembanyama 2.0. I'm not impressed by a guy 7'3" blocking 5 shots against 6'5" high schoolers. I need to see a lot more than that to be impressed.
