Malachi Smith on official visit today

[Dove]

The Malachi Crunch!!!!

Need.

 

[Dove]

He’s smaller than Mahaney.

And probably won't stop dribbling as soon as he crosses half court.

 

[jibsey]

Energizer like Hassan off the bench sounds good.

 

[GHSWolverines]

We know what usually happens once someone steps foot on campus. Lock this one up, turn our attention to a wing, and we’ve got a freaking good team next year

Need to look at the 4. We have plenty of wings

This article was probably posted in the UConn Targets thread but if not, or in the event it got lost in the shuffle.

Loves Kemba and called UConn his “dream school.” May be 5 years later than he would’ve preferred, but I’d love Smith getting 15-20 as our first G off the bench next season.

 

[Waquoit]

I think I had seen 2 clips from him in the past - the aforementioned one and another where he seemed to think Tarris was the biggest scrub in the universe.

He was 0-2 on UConn last year. I stopped tuning in.

 

[Ripper32]

I didn't realize that he's scoochie smith's brother. Now it makes sense why he played at Dayton.

These guys also predicted Aidan Mahaney to be a 1st team All American.

Not those two guys. Their partners did

 

[TheHorde]

Guys - I hoping people would remember a former 6'0" 175 pound guard from the Bronx...ahem...

I was reliably informed that guys like him are too small for us

 

[uconn_jack]

This might be one of those cases where starting and a lot of PT isn't his priority. If they were, why wouldn't he stay at Dayton. If he's realistic, he knows the NBA isn't in his future, that he likely wouldn't start on an upper D1 team, that there isn't some huge NIL package out there for him (unless Pitino lies), and if he wanted to start the best he'd probably do is a middling or lower tier P5 that may or may not make the tourney.

Or he could be a key backup on a top tier team that can contend for a championship, and one that was his dream school where his idol went.

I think the choice is easy.

If Skyler Bell is 6'0" then Smith looks taller than him unless he is wearing platforms. LOL!

 

[NHUConnfan]

The big thing was finding PGs that could play Big East basketball. Aiden is a fine guard, but the BE style did not fit with his game.

Malachi has a lot of the skills that translate well into the BE. He would be an awesome get. I hope the crew can lock him in .

So one of his best friends since Grammar school is at the school, Kemba Walker was his Idol and UCONN his dream school. I really like our chances here.
