Kofi Final 5

[kansashusky]

A glowing review!

Just the truth. Those are valid concerns with Kofi, and they already have a prospect that fits that same mold. We offer Kofi way more PT his freshman year. We have way more needs in our front court than Kansas does.

sooo he's eric cobb?? i'm hoping for caleb swanigan

Smh...

 

[yukonfan4]

i dont agree with the KU fans i'm just saying that sounds more like a scouting report of cobb than the program trajectory changing player most of us are hoping kofi would be. swanigan was also an old school big with defensive liabilities but that didn't stop him from becoming a first team all american.

 

[goskis2018]

I mean he was never going to be Shaq lol, hes a borderline 5 star high end 4 star. If he ends up at UConn I expect him and Junior Josh Carlton to be about the same type of player production wise. There is also no reason to pretend that at this point in our rebuild that players that are not number one on Duke or Kansas' wishlists wouldn't be massive contributors for us.

 

[uconnbill]

He can always take another unofficial visit to UConn since he is so close by. So the early visit doesn't bother me at all.

My honest thought the other day was that if Kofi could be a Arizona/Syracuse Cobb on a more consistent basis for the year plus another year of experience Carlton, I'm pretty sure everyone would sign up for that frontcourt.

Kofi could be a Arizona/Syracuse Cobb on a more consistent basis

you bet I'll take 12.5 pts and 11.5 rebs from kofi next year (cobb's average in those 2 games) but unfortunately cobb is only averaging a 5.5 and 4.5 on the season

(PS- swanigan averaged 10.2 and 8.3 as a freshman)

If you only list someone’s weaknesses it’d make anyone look bad. Kofi will be our best big man since Drummond

 

[UconnU]

Kofi is a 6’11 290 monster who dominated EYBL last summer and we’re comparing him to Cobb? He would start for us right now.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Can you imagine Kofi in this conference with the lack of big guys most teams have?

Imagine what he would look like after Sal got done with him!?

Eric Cobb reincarnate.

 

[superjohn]

Kofi makes our big men look like Kenyan marathoners, it's amazing any of you could be poo-ooing getting a nearly 300 lb. manchild. Kofi starts from day 1 and changes our frontcourt immediately.

Another Pitt player transferred opens up scholarship and playing time

Agree.

This board is on fire today.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

This is UConn. We care about Final 4s not 5s

 

[BlueMAB]

So talking with a few of my connected friends at Kansas, Kofi is their last resort. They see him as an extreme liability for PnR defense, and dont think he will contribute much on the offensive end because he won't physically dominate other colleges front courts like he can currently. David McCormack (similar rating and build as Kofi) is struggling to see the floor because he is raw and slow on the PnR.
.

I 1,000% want him at UConn, but I think there's some validity to those concerns. The NBA draft is about potential, not production, so I'm not saying he can't or won't get drafted after 1-2 years. I just think he's going to need more time to adjust to the college game than others do.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Rique + Gaffney
Bouk + Vital
Sid+ Precious
Akok + Cobb
Kofi + Carlton

My body is ready.

Cobb is graduating this year.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Cobb is graduating this year.

Oh right. * Akok + Akok

 

[awfuldan]

Cobb is graduating this year.

Junior year Polley should fill that void nicely though!

 

[UofCT]

There is no program that underachieves in March quite like Kansas but they are indeed a blue blood. And flatlanders.

They made the final 4 last year, no?

 

[the Q]

They made the final 4 last year, no?

They’ve also had some brutal first round exits when they’re one of the 5 best teams in the country, and usually higher than that (a 1 seed).

He’s Hurley’s version of Brock Lesnar.... Eat. Sleep. Conquer. Repeat.
