Dude is legit.

 

[ec33]

It won't take long to a "Malik" either. Don't worry.

If your mother gives you an alternative spelling of a name, you are going to have to accept that people are going to spell it properly from time to time.

Kid's bag off-the-dribble is DEEP. Spins, euros, heavies... got it all.

What gets me is that Meleek he has all those offensive skills yet seems a willing passer and wants to D up. Kid is special.

Kind of gives me Cam Thomas vibes. Prob a better athlete though iirc

1996 was a low point for me in UConn basketball. A UMass fan called into WTIC and said Calhoun would never get to the Final 4. I wish I had his phone number.

Maybe it was actually Calipari.

I will say my iPhone automatically corrects it to that. I got called out for it on Twitter and added Meleek to my dictionary to avoid it again. But as a general rule of thumb there is no hope for this board spelling names right.

Maybe you can share what app you purchased so our spelling bee challenged friends can add it to their phones.

Sometimes 5 stars don't jump off the screen. This kid does in so many ways. He would be an incredible cornerstone to the recruiting class.

 

[CL82]

But how is he against chairs?

Devastating! He blows by them like they're standing still.

I was trying to figure out who his shot and pull up game looked like, and that’s the one. He’s very, very similar style-wise.

On3 recruiting prediction machine has us up to 2nd place with a 16% chance to land his commitment. Sick.

Figured it would be higher

So you can add a name to your dictionary and then it won't autocorrect to the wrong spelling? Hmmm. Maybe we can do an automatic autocorrect for Tristen on the Boneyard. We'll call it our final gift to him for the 2 championships.

Holy S***

He's got the Jalen Adams 1 Handed Over the Top Euro Step.
Good luck, defenders....

 

[UCfor3]

He's dynamic. Quick twitch athleticism but also with very high skill. Impressive.

As well

they have Pittsburgh (lol) at 24% and then UConn at 16%.

I like our chances at 16%. That seems about right.

That is machine based with no human intel. So it means pretty much squat.

Only look out for real predictions from real people.

 

[UCTitleTown]

He doesn't just move, he moves with a plan. He attacks and loops for the slightest defensive mistake to burst through.

UNC didn’t crush me because I put that in the same bucket as UCLA in 1995. I knew we’d have most of the core back the next year. Plus the UNC game was effectively a road game. The Duke game in 1990 hurt because the Final Four was so close, but the whole season was an unexpected magic carpet ride. The 1994 and 1996 teams carried much greater expectations and were better teams than they lost to. We would have won 8 or 9 times out of 10. Unfortunately both caught us in those 1 or 2 type exception games.

That UCLA game was something else.

Meleek heard Cal's pitch at Tucky..Now it involves chicken nuggets. Family not hearing it. YaDa-YaDa-YaDa.

He knows the real deal is with Dan.

Dan had 2 guys at 4 & 7 who were coached, won, and showed their value to the NBA.

Cal had 2 kids at 3 & 8 who lost first round and started like 8 games combined.

Make your choice & choose carefully Meleek

 

[paulmf]

He’s working on it in case we play Purdue’s guards again

Yo!!!!! Hilarious!!!

 

[Son of Robert]

Whooh! Very!! impressive skills and athleticism, flat-out very versatile scorer. Processes the game at serious speed.

Hopefully Meleek was watching the NBA Draft last night. It was practically a UConn informercial and recruiting pitch.

 

[FearThePups]

Now that the draft is over and all 4 of our guys were selected, does Meleek commit tomorrow?

 

[JAdams4Reel]

Lakers now don’t just have 1 Lebron James, They have 2 Lebron James.

 

[FearThePups]

Hopefully Meleek was watching round 2. Newt and Cam picked. Wouldn’t have happened under a different coach and a different program.

 

[ec33]

That it my theory. Dan Hurley would want to give the old players their day in the sun and then move on to new business tomorrow.

2022 draft Shaedon Sharpe is one of the better young players for the Trailblazers

He didn't play a minute for Kentucky.
