New Paschal Chukwu highlight video

[david]

Lock this kid up pronto

 

[CTBasketball]

Looks to have gotten a lot more aggressive.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Do we have him coming in for a visit at any point this summer? Seems like he should be a high priority, but sounds like Providence is out to the early lead with him

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Is that Oubre gettin rejected at the 1 minute mark?

 

[James]

Abu is getting his stuff sent in it too

 

[Burnsbros23]

We are in great position for a lot of highly thought of guys. Don't care which ones we land aslong as we get 3 or 4.

 

[huskyniner]

Is this kid a Providence lean or what?

 

[uconnbill]

Providence folks will say he is but who knows. I know coach Ollie has seen him live a few times. My worry comes from his guardian who from what others have said like to push Catholic schools.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

If his guardians are serious Catholics why would they send him to Providence. Or any fake Catholic schools.

Looks like a white lefty kid maybe Zimmerman...

 

[husky99]

PC lean from what I hear

 

[upstater]

Is this kid even Catholic?

 

[Yonick]

Recent article in New London paper quotes Ollie saying combo guard & Power forward are priorities. Wonder where Chuckwu falls in UConn's priority list.

 

[kansashusky]

For what its worth Jerry Meyer has his crystal ball prediction for Paschal to go to Providence. I want him but like Yonick said I dont know if he is a priority.

 

[BeanTownBob]

A very talented defensive 7 footer who has grown leaps and bounds offensively in the past year and a half with a very high ceiling who is in our backyard?

If this isn't a priority I'm questioning KO.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Thabeet, Adrien, Robinson......Chukwu, Black/Abu, Facey

just sayin could be something nice we seen before

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

CHUKWU=National Championship....This guy is going to be very very special!

In my opinion based on pure speculation. Seen him play several times.

 

[connman]

If this is the kid from prep he has a long way to go, did you see him in the final against hillhouse? he looks great when there is no one in front of him or a guy a foot shorter is taking a shot in front of him . otherwise he did not stop the Hillhouse center/forward ,I can't remember his name, from scoring. He needs a lot of seasoning and to add some weight. the guidance dept at prep will steer him to catholic schools .

And we all know no knows more about the NBA than a school guidance counselor!

How did Thabeet or Armstrong look at this age?

Paschal ate Chase Daniels for lunch all year. Daniels was the Hillhouse center prob 6'8....you're talking about some forward they had in the championship game who was like 6'5. Complete mismatch....he won't be guarding someone like that one on one at the next level.

I saw him in this game (article below) vs. Hillhouse and against East Hartford.

Chukwu had sixteen (16) rebounds, (6) six blocks and twelve (12) points in the state final you are referring to. Would 20 rebs and 10 blocks have made you believer?

Next year he will get the 20 rebs and 10 blocks to go along with 18-20 points. The guy is a stud.

My point is he is going to be a great player with the right coaching and system. I think Ollie can deliver the goods with this kid regardless. Ollie is a person of strong faith with a basketball program encompassing tradition and history. That formula is a strong one. I hope we go after this kid harder than any other in the class of 2014.

JMHO....

Insider's article from ESPN.com.

10 players whose stock could rise in July

7. Pascal Chukwu (Westport, Conn./Fairfield), No. 58
Why he could move up: Becoming more assertive
When you’re 7-feet tall, there’s always a chance for your stock to rise. What jumps off the page against Chukwu is his length and explosion. He’s another elite shot-blocker in this class sand makes opponents think twice about coming into the lane. He rebounds with length, often tipping the ball to himself, and while his scoring is minimal, he can finish via drop-off passes and lobs. He’s becoming a hot commodity as college coaches will flock to see him throughout July.

For some reason, disturbing visions of Jai Lewis and Wil Thomas just crept into my head ....

 

[NYballfan]

Pascal is the real deal!

 

[NYballfan]

Pascal's CBC teammate is coach Ollie's son! Providence, St. John's and Gtwn been recruiting him for 3 years. At the Bronx Rumble Pascal said Kansas, Ohio State, NC State and Purdue are coming at him hard. Watching Pascal play the AAU tourneys is great, he's a HUGE Recruit!
Saw the state champ game video, Pascal's team was coachless, his team lost because of his guards. The freshman and the pg were a joke against the House. Slow over hyped kids, 11 turnovers in the 2nd half can't beat the House! This year Pascal going to be great! UCONN needs Pascal!
