From the video...

Moves pretty fluidly for 245. Hands up ready to receive on PnRoll, caught a couple tough passes (but highlight video so grain of salt). Nice touch and showed some footwork on a few plays.

The new Chuck Aleksinas.

I used to live down the road from Chuck. I played some pickup games with him at an open gym in our town. He seems like a real nice guy.

The recruit looks solid. If he can hit an open 10-14 footer, then he would be perfect for Ollie's system.

Let's get this kid, so we can have some muscle in the middle and so I can start wearing my old shirt to the games...

You should start wearing it now for Lithuanian recruiting mojo. Dust it off and bring it back, my man.

Yes, yes I will.

I wore it to the Dead & Company Fenway show in June....so it's been pulled out of storage already.

If and when We get this kid to campus....@alexd. can be the closer....who needs Bunkey??

 

[Jaker]

We have been pretty successful with the Euro kids, time for another.

Now you know what Chief was referring to in the other thread.

LOL you probably have a point.

The 2019 kid, Kenney was offered too. Brewster package offer. But we will take them as they come. KO and Chill both have a great relationship at Brewster - I get the vibe there may be more but not predicting it.

 

[WrenchFan69]

So our class will be sorted in September; that'll be nice I suppose.

 

[Whtdmd]

I saw him in hoophall this yr. He was the 2nd best player on the Brewster team that day. The best was Aaron Wheeler and he looked better then Sid Wilson or Makai Ashton-Langford. He is an excellent fundamentals player. Got good hands, set good picks and has an inside game. Not sure how much different then Eric Cobb or Carlton. I would rather have a shot blocker center but if he comes. He can definitely get and give good minutes

 

[HawkHusky]

The Eastern Hemisphere has been real kind to UCONN. Would love to have him.

 

[sledog]

Nice fluid motion. Good hands. Never saw his feet leave the floor.

 

[Chief00]

Rutgers is positioning for Kenney too. Pikell we encounter a lot.

 

[Glastonhusky]

*comparison to former white UConn player*

Jake?

 

[Dove]

Well he definitely looks like a Purdue guy, gotta end up there, Notre Dame, Wisonsin maybe

Definitely looks like a Boilermaker.



EDIT: Just now see he cancelled his Purdue visit.


Definitely looks like a big-assed tuna.

 

[Stainmaster]

Per VC, we have officially offered.

Don't ever remember this overwhelmingly a positive reaction to a player ranked around 300th who looks like he can't get off the floor.

I'm sure it's easy to be overlooked when you're a role player on the best prep team in the country and play in European U-16/17/18 tournaments in the summer rather than an elite AAU program. He's skilled offensively, there's really no denying that. Purdue wanted him and they've done a nice job developing bigs as of late. There's a lot to like. Everyone on here would like us to be getting top 50 talent, but it's not happening these days.

 

[scotty0330]

We just got done with 4 years of a guy who was a high jumper in high school and a shot blocker who could not screen, rebound much or post up to save his life. I am perfectly fine with this kid.

And for the first time in forever we don't have a single sbotblocker on the team, that's all of a sudden a need.

He dunked plenty of times in the highlights TCF posted.

 

[KingAG]

He seems to be a terrific P&R player

I tell you it’s crazy but from the limited games I have seen, we have a 6-7 shot blocker - more in the open court than in half court and I know that’s really what you are referring to. But, Williams will have some highlight blocks.

Just don't see it as a need if you can play physically on the low post and in the lane - get rebounds. Would love to have one but not really a necessity if replaced by better defensive people.
