Hopefully this means he can finally get to campus, because he needs all the work and reps he can get.

Don't get to excited though. I heard all he practices are dunks

I can't wait for him to throw down a bigly dunk in our tremendous conference in front of the biggest crowd of all time. Enoch went 1 for 12 in dunk attempts last season. SAD

Enoch was too depressed thinking about having to play defense on the other end.

In all the crap you read on the ol' Boneyard ... I guarantee one thing: great skills in basketball often starts with big freaking hands. And Kwintin has big hands. Get his skill level up. We've got something ...points on the board.

He's played one year of organized basketball at an obscure community college. I'm super excited

Yes, but he had 8 rebounds and 9 dunks/layups per game, I'm guessing a significant number off offensive rebounds. If he can master defense and screening, he can be a contributor.

And now that he has his degree, he has more times on his hands to neglect all of the other areas of his game.

 

[Huskybass]

The kid works hard down low and seems pretty relentless. Those are great traits to have. If he could give us 5 and 3 this year and show upside, I would be thrilled.

Clearly this stems from your disdain for Calhoun

I can imagine the guy (can't call him a kid) in a conference call with the staff after committing.
Kwin: I want to get my vertical up to 48 inches before I get to Storrs.
KO: Stop jumping. You already do that well. I want you to shoot 5,000 foul shots a day. Don't stop until you can make 4 thousand of them. Every day. Then you can stop and start practicing a pivot and drop step to the... no wait. I don't want you to practice doing it wrong, so just stay with the free throws, each and every day. Hard work and repetition is a blessing.
Carlos: That thing where you dunk the medicine ball from a seated position, I like that. Keep doing that.
Kwin: That's hard you know.
Carlos: If it wasn't hard, it wouldn't be worth doing, would it?
KO: Hard work means taking the stairs. It's the UConn way.
Kwin: I usually just jump up to the next floor, Coach.
Victoria: I like the way you got your grades up to where they aren't an issue at all any more. We're going to need you to stay right on top of that. I'll be emailing you a summer reading list tonight.
Kfree: You should practice taking the ball off the board and immediately firing a pass to the opposite foul line. Ricky and Coach Ollie will worry about getting guards down court in time. You need to be able to secure the ball and hit them in stride.
Chill & Kill: Sounds like everything is under control here. We've got one more spot to fill, so we're heading out on the road. See you in a month or so.
KO: You still there, Kwin?

Note: Yes, I had to google the MBB Academic counselor's name

Anyone under fifty is a kid to me

Too bad there isn't a first night this season for this guy.

Mine is 52. When he got older than I was when I had a heart attack, I stopped thinking of him as a kid.

It feels nice to actually be considered a kid by someone! Well, at least for one more year. 50 in February.

Trying to get a sense of Kwintin Williams without looking at the misleading practice dunks. Saw highlights of his Pima cc team. The competition was solid, actually higher then the newspac league. You need to be able to play to get a 18 and 9. Shawn Olden our old recruit who committed to TCU was having problems scoring against his team. Kwintin was not in any of the highlights, I am impressed with his mature body n long arms. He also has good footwork when getting the rebounds. Can definitely catch an alley oop. Not sure about his shooting. He could be a very good defender at the 4th

Congrats, Kwintin on graduating! Proud of you. Now get to the grind! Chief is rooting for you!

I guaranty you that you just spent more time thinking about Enoch playing defense than Enoch ever did.

He's going to have gray hair by the time he graduates

 

[mauconnfan]

As long as he can impact the team in a positive manner he can go gray next year and bald by his senior year for all I care.
