2024 Recruiting: Nowell - 24/7 Rankings

I like the lethal from midrange quote.

Did you like Samson's steal and dribbling the court and dunking?

Samson needs to improve his defensive rebounding. That is where his lack of strength really hurts him. He needs to have stronger hands and rebound with both hands. But he will never be a rock like Sanogo. Samson is a fast twitch athlete. He will always be more quick than strong.

Don’t think Samson’s issue is a strength issue as much as it is a position issue.

Kid plays way too straight up and down and doesn’t box out. He relies strictly on his athleticism. At 225 he’s pretty much maxed out for his size.

If he was 6’3” instead of 6’1” he’d be Top 10 in the 2024 Class.

Ball is 6-3. Well, he is listed as 6-3. His wingspan has been reported as 7-0. So he may be short but he is not small. He also is reported to have a 43" vertical leap.

Have you seen Nowell? He is 6-1 and built like a bull. He is very thick and strong.

I think when you say small, you mean short. Neither of these guys are small for college guards but neither would be considered tall.

Nowell is definitely not 6’1. He’s for sure in that 5’10 to 5’11 range

Good interview. I think Nowell will thrive under DH. He seems to have all the things you love to see in a lead guard. I think he replaces Newton, seemlessly.

Quite a game by Ahmad...

I love this kid's game

Nowell and Ball on the court together is really an exciting prospect. Obviously, there will be a steep learning curve for the two of them as starters. But man I’ll tell you I love watching video of Nowell.

Hassan won’t start though??

While i love having teams like last year and this year i also love reload years where youve get to watch young talent develop and its even better when they exceed expectations. Its the closest feeling i get to feeling what i felt in 1990 in a weird way.

 

[HuskyInfinity]

Seeing a lot of Davion Mitchell here which i love

How about he is about the size of Kemba Walker... 5'11". And let me tell you this: I remember Kemba having that dog in him as well. And I would take Ahmad being anything close to Kemba over the next 3 years. I mean ANYTHING CLOSE.

I would love nothing more than a Kemba Walker 2.0... and so would everyone else on this board, as well as UConn fans everywhere.

So I honestly do not give a flying Flip what his actual height is. This young man oozes game from every pore of his man-sized body.

 

[auror]

His strength should allow him to contribute right away. Looks like a shorter but better shooting Isaiah Collier.

 

[Scrutineer]

But if you try sometimes you get what you need

You just might find.......you get what you need.

 

[Drame]

Kemba was actually 6' 0.5'. I'm 6'1" and he was basically the exact same height as me, standing back to back.

I know 6'+ is good for the tinder profile, but you can be honest with us here. We won't reject you.

Gonna be big time Day 1 in Storrs
