Rakim Lubin Video Interview

[CGarr]

First time I've seen him interviewed. He's very likable.

 

[conn man]

That's a man right there.

KO can still be ".......still the Big Dog" LOL - nice kid. The smile was great when he talked about catfish and fried chicken. Can we start a "BEST CATFISH and FRIED CHICKEN" thread for Rock?

love it thanks!! and I found my arrest record too

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I love his answer to the Jeff Adrien question

I love his answer to the Jeff Adrien question

Came here to post the same thoughts! Seems like a really humble kid who is determined and ready to work.

All of his responses were great, seems like a bright kid who was very well-spoken and he definitely seems likable as well.

I'm as excited as the next husky fan about Lubin's potential, but let's pump the brakes on the hype train a little bit. I'm not sure how anyone can say things like he can really play, no one will be taking his minutes or our other, more experienced bigs will be learning anything from him when we haven't seen a single second of him against anything except high school competition and a few snippets of practice video. Here's hoping he immediately turns out to be a Jeff Adrien redux, and I think there's a huge chance he will at some point in his career, but if he's not tearing it up or seeing a lot of minutes at the beginning of the season as a freshman let's not get too down on him either. Moderation, people (and yes, I realize the absurdity of that word on a message board)

 

[CGarr]

Another one with Rodney

 

[CardiacAndre7]

People always say Samuels.

He's a one and done.

 

[BUConn10]

He's a one and done.

Understatement, he should have gone the Mudiay way.

 

[Stainmaster]

Understatement, he should have gone the Mudiay way.

I was under the impression he was already the favorite for this coming season's NBA ROY.

 

[Danpisco12]

Gotta say, having done undergrad in Louisiana, his talk about catfish and fried chicken has me craving some southern food.

If Lubin were going to get a lot of playing time, the staff would probably be asking him to do more than just focus on rebounding and passing to Amida.
