You're right, Majok had to play against taller chairs. No comparison.

At least 0.5 Hilton unit.

 

[champs99and04]

That's an underwhelming list.

 

[3rdbass]

Looks very athletic with good size and can shoot and dribble. I definitely wouldn't mind getting a commit from him as he looks like he can play between the 1 and the 2 for us.

 

[ZenConn]

Those chairs look familiar . They still defend well.

Don't these chairs ever graduate? They are like Krauser and Troutman at Pitt.

 

[ZenConn]

Did a chair take a charge? That would be hilarious.

DOOK chairs will just fold up on contact.

Yeah, hopefully Dom wasn't fed this by staff.

or they're backups for Lecque/Washington transfer/etc. The staff has been tight lipped so far as to who they're really targeting.

Highly, highly unlikely.

 

[gtcam]

What about Brendan Adams?? he was recruited by Coach Young and Dan Hurley before, just released from lOI

please see postings on page 1
thank you

 

[JMick]

Highly, highly unlikely.

highly unlikely the staff gave him this info or highly unlikely Dom just made it up after looking at our needs and who's available? I'm guessing the latter

Orlando Antigua. He had to have had 8 years of eligibility.

@superjohn has me excited that something big could be in store, I have to imagine Hurley anticipated the Cox hiring and knows what he's doing here.

Almost exactly the sort of list you would have expected to see last year when Oz was our lead recruiter.

 

[AdamaNation]

Depends if your the kid or the chair! Huge upgrade for the chair sitting on a basketball floor rather than having some sweaty butt sitting on you. I would think this is one of the elite jobs for a chair and it can stand on its own 4 legs.

Have the chairs signed with anyone yet?

 

[Danzz]

I found myself rooting for the chair.

 

[TopDogs]

Probably Syracuse. They seem like they'd be best suited for zone.

Hurley dumped the 3 recruits we had and now it is up to him to replace them with better players. The only one I was disappointed in not seeing in Storrs was Akinjo who is a 4 star.

Hurley didn’t dump Akinjo, Akinjo wanted to play under KO. I can guarantee Akinjo is the one recruit he really would’ve like to have kept.

It sounded like Akinjo still had some interest in UConn but we didn't hear anything about Hurley recruiting him. Then again Hurley has been tight lipped about recruiting so you never know.

 

[Scrutineer]

Can we psychologically handle another guard from Fordham though . . . ?

Not one that shoots for such poor percentages. I was psyched about all the talk yesterday about Lecque and others and this list, if we're actually looking at this group, throws ice cold water on that optimism.

 

[Scrutineer]

This kid looks great. But that's why I don't get paid the big bucks to scout and recommend players......they all look great in these highlight videos.
Brendan Adams is rated higher than Harris if that means anything.

 

[Scrutineer]

Based on his stats, these must be all his made baskets.

 

[intlzncster]

Akinjo's also being recruited by a billion schools so that's no surprise.

not sure what thread this should go in so sorry if it's a duplicate:

Wouldn’t surprise me if a guy like Isaiah Washington came back closer to home with a coach he trust... Kimani

A couple of those chairs would only average 1 or 2 less rebounds per game than our last few Centers.

The new Puke chairs, from the Grayson Allen Collection, trip you.
