Kelly Oubre

[huskiesnyc]

He's ranked #43 according to ESPN. I haven't heard his name mentioned a lot with UConn but I'd love to land this kid.

Kelly Oubre says UConn is coming at him the hardest, and has had in-home visits with Alabama, Kansas and Baylor: http://cbsprt.co/11tG5s1

I've read people complain about the wide net the staff has cast, but they seem to be doing a pretty good job of staying on top of things with a number of kids at multiple positions. Obviously landing them is the most important thing but having multiple options is the best route if they end up whiffing on some of their plan A's.

Wouldn't mind landing this kid. He can definitely stroke it. Reminds me of Sam Perkins a lil.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Sam Perkins? He is listed as a guard I thought? I agree with you tho we seem to be in good position with a lot of highly thought if guys. Just need a couple to commit I feel great about what are 2014 class will look like.

Yeah he's listed as a SG/SF. I was referring to his shooting form and the fact that he's a lefty.

Well spoken kid seems like a nice kid......great fit......can shoot it, handle it and says he likes to play D and wants to improve on that end....what's not to like?

[aceboon]

with that lefty stroke he reminds me somewhat of James Young, Young is more explosive tho

 

[husky99]

Has a dyson feel with better hair, good drive and can take impact..

 

[superjohn]

Reminds me of Iman Shumpert.

 

[Danzz]

He has over 20 offers from big time programs including Uconn. He is a Dallas kid..I'd say with that many schools offering that we are probably a long shot.

have to admit the AAC may help as we play Houston and SMU..........they can still see him play!!

Aside from location.. That can be said for a lot of our targets for 2014. But I have a good feeling we'll land some of these guys.

 

[husky99]

i think ollie has more west coast offers out there for 2014 then just about east coast.

 

[Huskies4ever]

With those long arms, he reminds me of Jeremy lamb.

I agree Ace. Ollie is casting a wide net with many Top 100 recruits, however, he is putting in work with those recruits. It seems as if all the players UConn has offered, lists UConn as one of the schools going after them the hardest. Ollie is full aware of the importance of this class and is working his Ashlynn Shade off to assure he gets a top class. I'm very excited to see how it plays out.

After the game, the Richmond (Texas) Bush wing told RivaIs.com that Connecticut is a school that is really standing out to him right now, while schools such as UCLA, Texas, Baylor and Florida are all making strong pushes. Additonally, Oubre listed Georgetown, LSU, Arizona and North Carolina, mentioning that his AAU teammate, Jackson, is pushing hard for Oubre to join him in Chapel Hill for their college years.

The four-star went on to say that he plans on making a decision sometime in the summer, possibly even during the July evaluation period. In the time between now and July, Oubre will be evaluating the schools interested in him, looking for a head coach who is stable, has a winning track record and can provide an excellent playing atmosphere for the Houston product.

He wants a good coach with excellent playing atmosphere, idk see any place that tops Uconn in that category

 

[husky99]

Say he wants to pick a school as early as july.

Really? I love UCONN, but I feel like there is far superior atmospheres in college basketball. Have you ever been to the XL center when we play St. Johns, Seton Hall, South Florida, DePaul etc?

DePaul has never played at the XL. Seton Hall hasn't played at the XL in a decade or so. USF played at the XL once. It was a good crowd considering it was a 6 PM game on New Year's Eve.

If you randomly pick out games vs. the lower rung old BE teams, the crowds at the XL are not that different than the crowds at Gampel. Just more seats to try and fill.

Not to like? The fact that he sure seems to prefer those AZ Wildcats at this point.
