JUCO Emmanuel Ugboh

[Hurleyman216]

The classic 13- man roster is 5 guards, 5 forwards, and 3 centers. Basketball has shifted toward smaller perimeter-based lineups, but given the slow pace of big man development, it's not unreasonably to have 3 centers in order to play 2, with one developing for the future and getting spot minutes in cases of foul trouble.

Right, unless you’re Georgetown and you have 5 centers, 5 forwards and 3 guards. I agree being 3 deep at center (1 starter with 1 backup and another one developing) makes sense. Some of these Big East programs have gotten greedy and taken all the centers available. Why can’t we have nice things too?

We do. They play guard.

 

[Palatine]

He needs to learn NOT to put the ball om the floor. He could learn from Carlton. But lefties have an advantage because defenders face fewer of them.

He moves well. Not much polish. Can' teach size. We need 6-11 very badly.

List is old and he has offers from Rutgers, and Ole Miss as well. Ole Miss is 18-8 something we wish UConn was at the very least.
UConn could use a big body and he has some talent

Emmanuel Ugboh (Elite Prep, 6’10″, C) – Was one of the top players overall in attendance today and top big in my opinion. Solid big man who takes up space inside. Solid athlete who had numerous 2 hand rim-rattling finishes on the day. Can score with his back to the basket but needs to continue to improve in this area. Footwork is a little raw but he does a good job of keeping the ball high. Strong and solid build. Good rebounder on both ends. Influences shots on defense. Does a lot with 2 hands- finishes and rebounds w/ 2 hands. HM prospect who will only continue to improve. from basketball elite

I'd rather have a 6th guard than a 3rd center. Hurley loves to run 3 guard lineups and the past few years we have not been able to escape our ball handlers getting injured

We would need a 2nd center before we have a 3rd.

This is correct

I am more interested in is blocking abilities. Need a big guy who can alter opponent's shots

Oklahoma St and St. Louis too.

The Ole Miss offer is encouraging. Kermit Davis is a JUCO wizard and a good coach whom has always done more with less. He's got a good eye for these guys.

I can vouch for this, Sy has an unreal teammate that is a multi level scorer and elevates like Ben Gordon on his J. Going to do big things next year at ole miss.

Akok, Sid and Josh could be good shot blockers come next season.
But I agree we need a defensive minded center who can rebound and block shots.

These aren't necessarily compatible skill sets. Shot blockers aren't looking to box rebound as much as block and alter shots. I'd love a kid who is dedicated to boxing and getting rebounds as we we are going to built for transition scoring than half court sets.

Big guy who rebounds would fill a major hole on the team. At a minimum, he'd be valuable depth and a complement to our other bigs who, depending on matchup, could play major minutes. If he develops then could be more. I like the offer.

 

[CTBasketball]

Sy or Ugboh I would take in a heartbeat. How many times have we gotten a really good grad transfer who came in and gave big time minutes outside of Shonn Miller?

He looks like he is playing against 6'3" centers in that video.

We need 7-0. If you can breath and you're 7-0. Welcome aboard.
