Lasan Kromah

How lucky are we to have him? I love this kid! The energy and maturity he brings to the team is amazing. Too bad we only have him for one year.

He's really been a fantastic glue piece who can contribute in just about every area of the game. Love his defense most of all.

 

[Askgreek]

When his outside shot is falling, he is very tough to defend because be can finish at the rim with the best of them. He was hitting his open 3's tonight and it opened up the whole game. Let's hope be can keep it up.

 

[Kitaman]

What's good is that he looks to be tournament ready. Important for us with our last two seasons of poor and no shows.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Yeah... just "slight" lol

 

[NEforceUConn]

The BY'er who hyped LK before the season started certainly knew his stuff and is a good judge of talent.

Awesome pick up for UConn.

 

[3uconn]

We'd be in trouble without him.

 

[ZackB05]

He's now become a consistent scoring threat. Between his 3 point shot and driving ability he's been excellent. And as we all know his defense is great. Very lucky to have him.

And to think that Hyperthink didn't think the kid deserved a scholarship, or ever see the the floor. Shame on you Hyperthink.

 

[superjohn]

He's really good, his driving and finishing around the rim just gets better and better.

 

[Chin Diesel]

He's really good, his driving and finishing around the rim just gets better and better.

He definitely has some old man ball in his game. He's not a uber athlete who an rise above the rest. He has to crafty. And he's real good at it.

 

[hyperthink]

I just felt like he would be better than a sophmore coming off of a hip surgery. and the fact that hethrived under hobbs just made sense. I might be pushing it aagain but i think he's better than boat overall.

I might be pushing it aagain but i think he's better than boat overall.

[RichZ]

He's even made some great assists the last couple games. Couldn't decide whether the 1st half tonight belonged to him or Phil.

Stop resting on your laurels and get out there and find KO's next Post Grad.

I said this in another thread: with Boatright and Napier usually occupying the two best perimeter defenders on the other team, Kromah is usually a mismatch for whoever is guarding him.

 

[jibsey]

Talk about tough to replace on both ends. Very confident player now.

 

[uconnbill]

He gives UCONN another leader on the floor and outstanding defense. Great addition for the team

 

[Huskygamble19]

Its a good thing he has contributed so much because Calhoun has been virtually missing in action this year. I think he was the star of the game.

 

[mauconnfan]

Huge get for us after all……..hyperthink has many eating crow, anonymously!

Instincts, fundamentals and basic knowledge of the game 2nd to none on the team. His ability to slide some shots in with defenders looking to block them make him very crafty for a good athlete as mentioned above. His confidence seems to be growing and as we head towards some big games, regular season and otherwise, this is a great thing.

 

[djct1999]

Over the past few weeks, Kromah has been UConn's second best player on the floor. The kid is a legitimate starter and plays hard on both ends.

 

[Marat]

He has been coming on strong the last month, and this is really going to help the team going forward into March. And as Huskygamble19 mentions above his contribution is needed due to Omar's MIA play. Now with Bazz, Boat, DD, and Kromah we have a set of very solid players at the 1 - 4 spots, and with an improving Nolan and Brimah at center this is going to bode well going into March. We have an experienced team at those positions, plus national championship experience coming from the bench in Giffey, Olander.

 

[SubbaBub]

Glue guy. Like the original glue guy sitting next to him in a suit. If we had a more developed frontcourt, a guy like him makes the difference in winning championships.

 

[HooperScooper]

By the way, remember that Kromah fan who came on here and said Lasan was going to be one of the best players on the team and would play over Calhoun? And most of us told him he was crazy. Kind of ironic how this has played out.
