Rakim Lubin and Prince Ali Mixtapes

[3uconn]

Here's Lubin's. Not all of the highlights are his. He's the biggest guy out there:

Prince's:

Lubin looks bouncy

Can't wait to see how Prince does on the AAU circuit this summer.

Prince Ali is just sick, it's crazy how underrated he is nationally. A whole lot of athleticism coming to Storrs in the next couple of years.

that's Lubin throwing down the 360 there at the end of the Buford vid? Simonds also looks like a sick athlete

Yeah. That Buford has got some real underrated athletes and players

 

[Kitaman]

Put Lubin on our team and he's bigger than all but Tyler (a Senior). As for his build he's Div 1 ready. He looks to be a sleeper.

Olander has him by a couple of inches but Lubin is already much stronger and more powerful.

Number zero in the first tape is d'marcus simonds who has been offered by the staff from class of 2016 I believe.

My favorite highlight was the Lubin 3 ball……..

 

[3uconn]

Lubin looks bouncy

That was my thought as well. I told that to his coach and he rid me that Lubin has around a 35 inch vertical. Also, he hit a pick and pop 3.

Yes that was Lubin.

 

[James]

Was that Lubin draining a 3 at one point?

 

[3uconn]

Was that Lubin draining a 3 at one point?

Yes. Off of a pick and pop.

 

[Tenspro2002]

If Lubin really does have that pick and pop component to his game, he could easily be Daniels's backup next year and replacement thereafter.

I think Ollie (and most of us) like having a skilled presence at the 4, someone who's a credible threat from multiple locations at the floor and won't merely clog the lane. If he can do that on top of being a willing rebounder and a physical presence, he'll be extremely valuable.

Between TS, Rowdy Rodney, the Turtle and the Prince, maybe even DHam if we want to throw him in there, I think we're set at guard for the next few years. With Brimah hopefully making the expected leap that usually happens from freshman to sophomore year, Nolan and Lubin we've got something brewing in the front court as well. Would love to see us pick up a big time center (govan maybe?) and another 3/4. Hopefully these recruiting classes get to hanging banners in a few years.

All we've seen are layups how can he be underrated when all his videos are just of his layups? I think he has potential to prove his current spot he's at is underrated. But as of now I think he fits well. Future150 has him at #48, Turtle at #84. How well known is that site? I feel like turtle is underrated. But we still got way to much time left. Another 20 minutes...

Ali reminds me of Jerome Dyson pre-injury.

Don't forget about Sam Cassell, Jr.--I think he is going to be surprisingly good. If Rodney and Daniel stayed a second year, that would be some kind of team. They could bring back the press and make it very tough on the opposition with Amida swatting away the few balls that would get past our long, super athletic guards.

Turtle (he may need a new nickname) Jackson sure looks like a point guard to me, great handle and quickness for 6'5." If we can get a couple of bigs to go along for the ride, could be some fun years ahead.

Ali's head is above or at the rim on some of those dunk....SICK hops

If you re-review Ali's tape he hits 4-5 three's. He may not be the greatest shooter out there but, he's more than capable of hitting the 3.
What sick athleticism, and he has more than a year to improve the outside shot.
