2023 Recruiting: JP Estrella

[maineuconnfan]

I actually believe Calhoun went to see him play in and offered him in Racine. I think he had to go to that school in Maine cause he ran out of public high school eligibility and had to get enough credits to be eligible at UConn

True...MCI prep in Maine had some good teams until they shut their program down...Sam Cassell played there too. I teach at a school that has a decent prep program, but nobody here has got any high d1 offers, that I am aware....difference is that Estrella is born true Maine kid...we also have a top-five recruit for the class of 2025.

Here is a matchup between JP Estrella vs Ugonna Kingsley. This is an indicator of why JP Estrella's stock is rising. It's surprising how he is not even a top 100 recruit in rankings anywhere. Estrella is a very good big man.

Ugonna is a prototypical athletic big man athletic shot blocker that has served UCONN well over the years.

Like Samson he’ll jump from unranked to top-100 at some point. I like our chances here!

Kid looks very talented from the highlight video. A good inside/outside player.
Very mobile, good looking shot and keeps the ball high and puts it right back up after a rebound.
Curious to see how the staff moves forward with his recruitment.

He’s the type of player Creighton uses to annihilate us.

I was thinking the same exact thing! Lol!! Spot on.

Evidently, that Canadian school has him as a top recruiting priority...

Which makes his eventual commitment to Connecticut all the sweeter.

(We are still doomed.)

He's the type of center we need for our offense and defense. Honestly, if he gets strong enough, so is Samson Johnson. Would be a great fit if we can get him.
