Just talked to an NBA scout who says UConn is 'better than people think' & has multiple pros in Brimah, Hamilton & Boatright.

The scout also counted Sam Cassell Jr., Rodney Purvis, Omar Calhoun and Phillip Nolan as prospects to watch.

Start the season, now!

 

[UconnU]

So NBA scouts are now saying Amida Brimah has a "beautiful shooting stroke"? damn. Good luck AAC.

 

[UCONN-NYC]

If Brimah is 100% to 150% better than last season according to this scout, that's basically scientific proof that he will be a double double machine this season.
If we get that type of production from him . . . ladies and gentlemen, you are looking at the well fed huskies.

 

[Palatine]

I sure hope they are right. Surprised Omar was mentioned as a prospect to watch. Good to hear.

 

[jibsey]

Just got a woody.

 

[Goat]

That's what I'm talking about. The success of those names in the NBA, especially those recruited by KO, are the next piece of Ollie becoming the coach every recruit wants to play for.

 

[jibsey]

"shocked at how good they are" I want to stay under rated and disrespected all year.

I like what they're saying about his shot. If defenders have to respect him out to 15 feet or so, that will open up the lane big time for our athletic guards.

“I was shocked at how good they were,” the scout said. “I never expected them to be like this.”

We don't need no stinkin' NBA combine like Kentucky!

God I cant wait for this season to begin.

I always thought his FT stroke was very nice and fluid. It'd be nice if he could be a threat to shoot jumpers from 15 feet.

 

[James]

Omar has always been considered a prospect due his great size for the shooting guard position. surprised by cassell, not surprised by brimah. aboslute stud

 

[CL82]

Wow. Now that was a good read. Still, we're doomed.

People laughed at me when I said Brimah could be a stretch four, hitting threes.

I won't laugh at you, but that's a bit of a stretch, pun totally intended. How many 7 foot stretch fours are there in the world? One, and he currently has a broken foot. It's nice to have a center with a decent shooting stroke to keep his defender honest from 15 feet, but let's not get totally ridiculous here, Brimah won't be playing as a stretch four or popping threes any time soon.

Ralph Sampson!!

Yes, that's still stupid.

Relatively soft too.

Dirk counts too. Even though his game is not quite what it was.

The kid probably dribbled the ball three times all season, c'mon.
