Kenya Hunter

[Wordbomar]

Just boarded a connecting flight from Charlotte to Providence and Kenya Hunter is on board sitting in the first seat on the plane wearing UConn gear. Told him congrats on the new job and he said thank you. Then I moved to my seat in the middle of the plane. Any idea why he might be down here? Are we looking at anyone in Charlotte area for 2018?

Jalen Leqcue is out in Asheville... Not sure if there are any other major airports closer to Asheville than Charlotte Douglas. Another 5 star guard named Jalen Springer who goes to Rocky River high is in the heart of charlotte too. Wendell Moore goes who goes to Cox Mill high in concord is pretty close to Charlotte as well. 2019 5 star small forward.

Jalen Lecque goes to a North Carolina high school

 

[Wordbomar]

I thought Lecque was a NY kid?

Lecque? Asheville to Charlotte.

Yeah he is, but goes to prep school down here.

There is no escaping the global reach of the Boneyard Kenya.

Ask him

 

[husky429]

Ask him

He can't answer that question. ncaa rules.

 

[Wordbomar]

Ask him

I’ll try to catch him when we’re getting off.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Let's just say he's going to drag Jalen Lecque up to Storrs and leave it at that.

 

[husky429]

I’ll try to catch him when we’re getting off.

Leave the guy alone.

Again, he will not answer that question if he wants to keep his job.

 

[intlzncster]

He's getting a pretty quick taste on the difference in basketball fandom between Nebraska and UCONN.

Facepalm.

 

[polycom]

Unless you fly private you can't get much closer than Charlotte Douglas, after you can take a connecting flight from Charlotte Douglas to anywhere else or drive...

 

[Wordbomar]

Facepalm.

That was sarcasm obviously I’m not gunna pester the guy

Unfortunately nothing is obvious about the creatures who inhabit The Boneyard. But good. Unfacepalm.

Hand him one of these bad boys

Edit: But spell the kid's name correctly.

No that's good. Now there can't be an NCAA violation because I don't think there is anyone in the world with the last name Leqcue.

 

[Tex-Lager93]

It’s a pretty major hub for American - could be he’s just coming in from Omaha for the week...? Don’t get me wrong, I love the Lecque discussion - but wouldn’t that be more of the Kimani connection.

 

[Fishy]

New hires are required to kiss Kemba’s ring.

And you go to Kemba, Kemba does not come to you.

(At this point in the year, I would guess that he’s out recruiting. Even if he went to Lincoln to square anything away, they would have him hit players on the way.)

Not Lecque he was in New York this weekend

Ok then he's visiting his parents...

Stop killing our vibe man.

You read that wrong. He wasn't facepalming because you were going to bug Kenya after the flight; he was faceplaming because you were waiting until the end of the flight.

#commitment

I don't think it's that crazy of a question. Up to you though.

Lol

 

[Peacefrog]

Charlotte is a major AA hub. He could have come from just about anywhere in the US to Charlotte.
