Malachi Smith commits to UConn

[Waquoit]

Who mentions that? I have only seen that he is plus defender for his size.

Of course time will reveal but he sat out all but one game the year before. Players all seem to get better the 2nd year after a season ending injury. I thinking why wouldn't that be the case with Smith?

He should be healthier than Diarra was this past year for us so that is a big improvement. Loved Diarra but it sucked he couldn’t of have had a healthy Sr. year.

Who cares who reported it first? I never understand why people obsess over that. It's just information that was going to be out there no matter what.

I have that shirt. I bought it at XL pregame and I've seen it online before as well.

Like our backcourt. Demary, Ball, Mullins (BEFOY 3 peat) and Smith. Maybe a little Ross if he improves over the summer. That is all set.

Like our Center situation, but all predicated on Reed being able to give us 25-27 minutes a game. Reibe may surprise us I can see him at the top on offense and teams will have to guard us differently because he can shoot he could really make it more difficult to defend our sets. Remember they are euro centric and most of the big guys there can shoot. Also 250 is heavier than I thought now he needs to turn some of that fat to muscle and stay in the 245-250 area. I think he certainly has the ability to give us 15 productive minutes.

I am not even going to talk about the forwards. Any attempt to do so may be censored as until we know more there is no point. Other than to say I still think a 6’9” defender and rebounder with some athleticism at the PF would be nice. Just need rebounding and defense I think we have enough scorers.

If anyone’s looking for more info on UConn’s two newest stud transfers lol

And we got both! Where's the thread on their forum discussing this video?!

That is all I saw online. Nothing in UConn's official or NIL store. This one seems to be a darker blue than the one in that picture.

There will be news soon about another name on the center depth chart.

Watched the video on Malachi. This is way too early in the post season to be this excited

 

[BugsyCT]

I looked at and posted a bunch of possible mid-major PGs in the general portal thread. Out of all the really interesting ones, Malachi is one that when I kept looking at stats, metrics, and overall fit I kept saying “I hope we get”. But I figured we wouldn’t as I expected him to be a big-minute starter somewhere.

Loved that we went after him, loved that we sealed the deal! Seems like a major coup…

MALACHI CRUNCH time…

Happy Days reference incoming!!

 

[3rdbass]

A good scouting report on our new Mr. Smith. Scouting report sounds a lot like our other NYC Point guard from this past year.

We've seen that one before. You can see from the image on that page that the T-shirt was from 19Nine Apparel. Which apparently was purchased by Slam Goods last month.

The T-shirt unfortunately is not currently on Slams website.
