Technically would it be illegal for The Rock to run around in the paint with Brimah on his shoulders?

That's light work for Rakim

It would also be nice if the mods can delete all the crap in the first 8 pages of the thread...

No doubt he will. You know, UConn's first practice of the year is traditionally brutally tough. So any kid who watches that practice and says 'I want in'...well, that's our kind of guy.

It's ok, I actually found humor in it... We are "10 toes in" even with the negative comments!

I have one question for you, mom; when Rakim goes off to the NBA in 5 years, will you still come back to visit us?

I've got a feeling he's gonna love his time at UConn. It's really a special place...

Who does Rock model is game after? Who does he look up to?

 

[UConNick]

I, like everyone else here, am very happy with Rakim's commitment, and to have some direct communication with his family. He looks like an absolute tank, I would bet that after an explosive high school season, he definitely has the skills to be a top 100 player again.

 

[basketballmom]

he is LeBron James #1 fan.....

 

[tcf15]

he is LeBron James #1 fan.....

So by association, he is Ray Allen's #1 fan. Works for me!

Welcome to the family Momma Rock (@basketballmom) and we really appreciate the enthusiasm you are already showing as a new member of the Husky family. We have some passionate members on this board; some more positive than some.

I think your son is gonna be a BEAST for us if he works hard and improve his skill set to go with that solid frame he already has.

All the Best...

 

[UConNick]

No surprise there... He's built like Lebron! You can't teach that kind of size.

and for that reason, he committed to UCONN! He wants to learn and train under the BEST!

this thread should have two things taken from it

1) some people need to calm down and shut up. you have never seen these kids play in person, so do not comment on your happiness. You are basing it all on arbitrary analysis from people who if they were good at what they do, they would be doing it for the NBA.

2)parents of players and recruits should stay as far away from this place as possible. Welcome to the family, but people here will stay amazingly stupid things that you do not want to read. Most UConn fans are not like them, this place just draws the deranged (for evidence, see the football board)

He has a motor like the "Birdman", powers through defenders like LeBron and has the ability to come out to the wing and knock down 3's like Bosh!! I am not saying that he could be compared to those players...Just my opnion of what he brings to the game... and if you have not notice.. I am a die hard HEAT fan!

 

[UConNick]

Eh I'll tolerate it. I'm a Knicks fan and therefore harbor a decent hatred for Miami and Lebron, but we're talking college ball, and we're all UConn fans here!
