Kwintin Williams Commits to UConn!

[intlzncster]

I mean it's not a great looking shot, but I wouldn't say it's ugly. He just doesnt really elevate.

Which, in this particular case, is weird .

 

[jibsey]

Seems to be an athletic 6'8" guy, not a stick figure and after our conditioning program could be a beast. We need him to hold his ground, snag rebounds and put back layups and not get thrown to the floor like a rag doll. Good.

 

[UConnNick]

Could he at least be another Johnnie Selvie?

It's "Kwintin Time"! (sorry, Johnny, we still love you!)

 

[uchusky32]

Welcome Kwintin!

 

[Kmba2Rmemba]

Very excited, and not just based off the dunk videos. There's potential here, and some time in our program might help turn this guy into a ball player.

WELCOME KWINTIN!!!

ALREADY ONE OF MY FAVORITES. Time to go to work!

 

[David 76]

I know this doesn't come close to solving all our problems, but it feels good to have a little good news.
Good get for July and maybe more.

He should have 3 years of eligibility remaining. Welcome aboard, Kwintin!

Well at least he is an athlete. Like a small Stix. Not sure I love this pickup but hey it worth a chance I guess as long as he can maintain his academics.

 

[3rdbass]

Yeah or a bigger stix

Bigger Stix? You mean smaller stix? Stix was 6'9" this guy is 6'7".

 

[Kitaman]

Looks 6'10 next to lillard. That video was enough to get me excited good pickup.

Video was nice, but can't miss those bunnies in D1 ball.

Hammer Time is back in Storrs people. Kwintin is the starting 4 man for us and will be an excellent pick and roll guy with Adams.

Starting lineup: Jalen, CV, Terry, Kwintin, Mamadou

Sounds like an NCAA tournament team to me! (Im willing to take the blame if the whole roster gets injured after I post this.)

I feel better about Juco guys maintaining their academics than freshman. He's already had to do it for a couple years.

I can see that but sub AG for CV. I'm sure AG will start if healthy.

well were probably done for 2017, after the exodus KO and staff really put together a viable team. You got Polley, Carlton, Whaley as true freshman,
Anderson, Onourah as grad transfers and Cobb and Williams as JUCO transfers. This is a great compliment to the the returning players. Top 25.

If anyone has a rivals subscription, here's a story from back when Dixon offered Kwintin in May. I'm happy the dude held out until he got an offer he liked.

literally 0 chance vital starts over alterique.

 

[FartMan69]

Really just good to see the word UConn and commitment together again. Oh and he knows how to play basketball.

 

[Danzz]

I wouldn't consider him undersized for the 4 position. He's listed at 6'8" and looks like to have a strong frame. He could be a C in a small ball lineup, although it doesn't seem like he's a rim protector. Without seeing him handle the ball at all in any of his videos, I'm going to assume his handling skills are not good. So I think he'll be playing the 4 and 5.

The people who produce these highlight videos are in love with big guy dunks. He looks plenty strong enough to play the 4.

 

[KembaStepback]

Pumped!! Welcome kwintin!!!

 

[3rdbass]

Well CV could start if AG is not fully healthy by the beginning of the season.

 

[Chin Diesel]

literally 0 chance vital starts over alterique.

Said fans every year abiut Rickie Moore and Taliek when they laced them up for UConn.

I have a feeling CV starts.

Apparently he worked his way up to a 3.2 GPA.

I tend to be a pretty optimistic fan, but I think we should really keep our expectations low. Like, if they make the NCAAs as something above a 9 seed we should have a parade.

Let's try to have low--or, even, let's say, reasonable?--expectations and hopefully we'll be surprised. Another year of unrealistic ones dead by December and decaying by February will make this place even more sour.

At least our 12th man wont be boring.
