love these threads....no surprise PA and KC remain two top targets. Go get them Coach!

 

[UconnU]

Hunter is watching Jaylin Williams

Safe to assume he's watching Tshiebwe as well.

Hunter is watching his game, but i don’t believe UConn is recruiting him.

Tshiebwe is an absolute animal. No clue how he isn’t ranked higher and how more teams aren’t on him. Maybe it’s because he’s considered a big WVU lean.

An injury shortened his spring a bit, but in 5 Adidas games he averaged 20/11/1 with 2.6 BPG, 1.2 SPG, all while shooting 64% from the field. He’s going to be a beast in college.



Side note: We’ll see how his class ends up, but Capel’s summer seems like he’s taking a page out of Ollie’s book. He’s watching all these big dogs with whom he has little to no shot with. Granted he has landed a couple 4 year guards and gotten them to reclassify.

I would prefer 2 years with Tshiebwe than 1 year with Idegon or Cockburn. Hearing Akok has been looking good recently too, he would be a great get for us as well.

You think cockburn is one and done material? Or is that just his goal whether hes good enough or not.

Yea he's a one and done. Barring injury or really poor play. Just based on his size someone will take him in the draft.

 

[UconnU]

Rocket Watts is just so damn good. His footwork is unreal.

True. Cant teach size.

He needs a lot of refinement. Right now hes getting by with being gigantic and overpowering dudes. His moves are really mechanical and off balance.

A non-shotblocking threat, with no shot, that isn't much of a lob threat on the PnR will have a tough time in the league these days.

Give him a 3 pt shot and a good strength and conditioning program, and there's a different story.

I bet he goes late first round.

Edit: to his credit hes improving rapidly. Developing a jump hook and decent drop step.

 

[cohenzone]

51 points is okay, I guess, but did you know that Denham Brown once scored 111 points in a single game?

Get outta here. We should recruit that guy.

 

[Huskyforlife]

KC should eat college bigs, wouldn't be surprised if he's one and done.

 

[kansashusky]

I highly doubt KC is a one and done. Not polished enough offensively, and uses his size to score in EYBL.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Can anyone post a list of targets on each team our staff watches frequently?

 

[husky429]

Looked like he didnt even notice catching a body. Oh my word

No way that kid is still 175lbs. 200 easily

 

[StingLykOllie]

Probably not relevant to the good guys, but interesting nonetheless.

It’s DJ Carton.

 

[UconnU]

It’s DJ Carton.

Yea, Ohio State.

 

[Scrutiner]

It’s DJ Carton.

Who wants a 5-star carton? We want a whole case............

[husky429]

Is he any good? I havent watched him at all

Precious Achiewa, Kofi Cockburn, Rocket Watts, Jaiden Delaire, Tre Mitchell, and Jalen Gaffney seem to be who we have watched the most so far and have been prioritized.

The group that we’ve watched second most and have extended offers too as well includes Akok Akok, Max Lorca Loyd, Anthony Harris, Quadus Wahab, and Lester Quiones.

We’ve watched a few others as well but the one to keep an eye on is James Bouknight who we have not offered officially but has been watched multiple times by the staff and we are in desperate need of guards in this class.

Meant players on each AAU team, since lots of people tweet "Coach X is now watching team X." But thanks for the effort.

 

[UconnU]

We need to lock Delaire up NOW! NE6 is now using him at point guard to show off his versatility and he's looked great! My favorite prospect since JA.

If Udoka Azubuike isn’t in the NBA after two years, it’s far from a guarantee Cockburn will be. Kofi is a great player and talent, but he isn’t as dominant as Azubuike was. Cockburn is clearly working on his ball/finesse skills though, which is smart because traditional big men like these just aren’t what the NBA wants anymore.

The NBA is a much better developmental league than they were even 10 years ago. Some one will draft a 6'11 280 pound monster and if you're going to get drafted you leave school.

Sorry, no recruiting mega threads.
