Juwan Durham update??

[auror]

Just needs to dodge more ACL tears. Each tear makes future tears more likely.

 

[gtcam]

Thanks for the video
I am impressed in his interactive skills - well spoken and direct with a sense of humor
As far as the movement - very fluid for someone who tore BOTH ACLs
Shooting mechanics looks great and handling looks good
Granted it is controlled scrimmage vs JV talent but he is moving nicely
Thanks again - I feel this kid is going to be a real good Husky

I think Blair from pit had two or three torn ACLs and he was a monster

He didn't even have his ACLs

How can DeJuan Blair play without an anterior cruciate ligament in either knee?

The former University of Pittsburgh star was initially projected as a high pick in the 2009 NBA draft, but he slid to the second round after a physical revealed something unsettling: The player has no anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in either knee—the result of two high school surgeries

Yup. His leg muscles are so strong that they basically perform the stabilizing function that his ACLs would otherwise.

I don't think the same will be true of Durham.

 

[Hungryhusky99]

He's going to be very good for us

You say this about every recruit?

 

[Paesano]

Dupay is a good guy to work with. It will have a positive impact on his shot and his footwork.

 

[UconnFanNVa]

Actually, I do see a frame on the kid that can be built on. So it's up to him and our strength program to get it done.

Frame is bosh like Imo. His skill sets seem to be in the same ball park too. He just oozes talent. I'm excited. His only limitation is health. Hopefully that isn't an issue anymore.

 

[Candyman]

Can seem him starting by conference play. Gets some games under his belt, stay healthy and gain confidence and he will be taking the 4 spot from Facey by January - IF he doesn't red-shirt and I assume since we didn't get Jackson Ollie would rather he didn't red-shirt so hopefully the doctors clear him.

Pretty sure JimOllie is just a bot.

Proof we have no reason to fear artificial intelligence.

 

[Jerry1714]

Not sure you can take much from that video, kid has a lot of talent but it will depend on how the knees hold up and if he has lost any quickness and agility from the injuries. Probably will not know that until practices start.

Dupay who ?

Nope. Never said it about Vital or Vance I don't think.

 

[bear]

Nope. Never said it about Vital or Vance I don't think.

This kid will have a much better UConn career than Dham. I see him as a slightly less athletic Deandre Daniels.

This is still bonkers by the way

 

[Hungryhusky99]

Nope. Never said it about Vital or Vance I don't think.

Don't like shooters?

 

[Jerry1714]

Nope. Never said it about Vital or Vance I don't think.

"If you don't think Vance will have a bigger impact than DHam at UConn, you are one fantasy guy."

You have a bad memory

Still stand by that. But DHam had a very forgettable career.

lol, so great.

Not you again

Huh?

 

[mauconnfan]

Oh boy

Don't see anything wrong with this statement . Vance will likely be here twice as long as DHam ,and DHam underachieved in his two years.

 

[Jerry1714]

Don't see anything wrong with this statement . Vance will likely be here twice as long as DHam ,and DHam underachieved in his two years.

So Vance will be the clear best player on a team who wins an NCAA tournament game?

And will be AAC freshman of the year, AAC tournament MVP and 2nd team all AAC his sophomore year?

Just an FYI when you have the same opinion as Jim you need to reconsider your opinion

If you're being serious, yes I completely agree.
