Ollie On the Road 2

[SeattleHoop]

Kid has a really nice shot form. Not too much in this vid, doesn't look like a slasher, and doesn't look quick, but he has the kind of body type where he looks like he can put on a lot of muscle and be a Terrence Jones type presence.

Wade Baldwin - A steady and talented combo guard, Baldwin played well for Sports U. After his game, he listed his top schools as Virginia Tech, Minnesota, Vanderbilt, USC, UConn and Seton Hall. All but USC and UConn have offered.

I would be happy with ANY of these kids- not one of them is outside the top 70. We would have one of the best classes in history if KO pulls in the type of talent posters here are expecting.

 

[Peacefrog]

Hopefully they make a push for Okonoboh. I don't want to rely on Abu or Black to commit because it doesn't seem like we are clearly in the top 2-3 for either of them. Keep up the good work 3uconn.[/quote

With regards to Black I thought it was down to Florida, us and maybe another, no?

Steve Lavin, Kevin Ollie, Ed Cooley, Mark Gottfried among those here for 2014 F Abdul Malik Abu, who continues to fast for Ramadan.

Can't tell how good Chatman is from that video but his body shape reminds me of Quentin Richardson.

 

[3uconn]

Watching Abu again.

 

[BearJWS]

We've had very little discussion about Chatman....he looks pretty good playing with Daniel and he is getting looks from a lot of name schools.

According to ESPN, Chatman has been blowing up this summer with his IQ, passing, defense, shooting & energy, as he's had several write ups on him in the past 2 weeks. He's becoming my favorite as complimentary player with Hamilton on the wing. Abu is blowing up too with his energy & power. One of the top rebounders consistently. Now just a PG & Chukwu/Okanoboh and we're finished.

[3uconn]

Now watching Hamilton, Oubre, Chatman, Larrier, Carrington, and Colson.

I'll be happy when we are WATCHING a few of these kids sign their LOI !!!!

 

[3uconn]

Watching Abu again.

 

[BearJWS]

Watching Abu again.

Hopefully Abu is noticing Ollie & staff are watching him too. That's a good thing!

Ollie & staff are sure going to be tired when they get home!

 

[kansashusky]

Is Devin Robinson not playing this weekend?

 

[3uconn]

Watching Joseph and Okonoboh.

 

[uconnbill]

Watching Joseph and Okonoboh.

where are you watching them at?

 

[UConn3432]

Any video of these games yet? They were my favorite youtubes to watch omar in last year.

 

[3uconn]

Watched Terrell earlier and now Abu again.

 

[Sportsman5]

Watched Terrell earlier and now Abu again.

do the coaches interact with players a lot at these events? or do coaches go more for scouting purposes/ to show kids with current offers that the coach rely wants them? I understand its a combo of all of these. I'm just trying to figure out why Ollie would watch Abu like 6 times over 2 days.

 

[3uconn]

Coaches and players can't talk at these events. When a coach watches a player a ton of times in a live period it shows the recruit the coach really wants them. It let's players know how much a coach wants them instead of just talk. If a coach says your a priority and he doesn't watch you, your not a priority.

 

[Sportsman5]

makes sense

 

[3uconn]

Ollie now watching Larrier, Carrington, and Colson.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

how much interest do we have in colson? seemed like his name popped up a while back, and we got excited about an adrien type player, but then he seemed to fall off the radar. I'm guessing he's a backup plan to abu, black, and robinson?

take black off the list is what I a hearing.

 

[superjohn]

I read in one of the evaluations where the guy said he was worried that Leron Black might have hit his ceiling and is just a 6'7 power forward with no real upside. Before hearing this I was all in on Abu, now even more so.

 

[3uconn]

Miller just watched Joseph and Okonoboh.

 

[Matrim55]

Miller just watched Joseph and Okonoboh.

Any idea where we stand with them?

 

[CTBasketball]

Would love to lock up Okonoboh and Malik-Abu. That's a really nasty frontcourt.

Been some time since other teams feared going to the hole with us

 

[BearJWS]

Would love to lock up Okonoboh and Malik-Abu. That's a really nasty frontcourt.

I clamored for both Okonoboh & Abu back in February only to be chided a few folks who said "No way Okonoboh is coming because he is AO's cousin" and Abu only to be told "No way we're getting LeRon Black"... I called Abu & Okonoboh as our Nasty Frontcourt back then, now it's seeming more real, at least for Abu... I hope Okonoboh joins him, along with Joseph. A very nice New England Trio. Kameron Chatman is my other guy. If Boatright declares, give me either Carrington or Colson. I'm all about mixing East Coast & West Coast! LOL Ok, someone pinch me!
