2021 Recruiting: Samson Johnson’s first game of the year.

[UconnU]

Remember he also won MVP of the slam game a couple months ago, was the best player on the floor playing against all high major guys. Mobile enough to hard hedge. Kid plays on pogo sticks and has a reported 7’4 wingspan. I think we have something really special here with him.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Floyd had a good game too. Maybe we can get a future commit thread where we post game highlights/film/stat lines?

[superjohn]

He's built like an upperclassman in college, would easily be our physically strongest guard already.

I’m digging the tied head band

I assume Zion Cruz, and CJ Wilcher's brother are other players on the court. Any insight into their numbers when we watch these clips, or how they performed?

I didn't realize that Simeon Wilcher was a PG. Playing with such talented upperclassmen is going to help really develop his passing ability.

Maybe we should give him the nickname Rambo.

This kid is a truck...

Looks like a track and field body with them upper legs.

Outside of Wilcher and Corey RC doesn’t really have much talent this year. But you don’t need much else when you have that backcourt.

Was thinking that Zion went to RC as well--mixing up TPS and RC.

Simeon Wilcher is next.

Good story on the player/manager!

Um yeah sorry but there’s no way he’s already stronger than Adams or even Cole.

 

[BGesus4]

Wouldn’t mind seeing him and Whaley throwing shots

 

[UconnU]

Not only is his potential to the moon, he may realize it. Just look at his athleticism and fluidity for his size. Man I really really like what we’re getting here.

Yeah, he is.

Are you serious? He's way stronger than them.

You mean we could get two seasons of this guy paired up with Sanogo?!!!!

You’re basing this on the way he looks in his uniform or physical feats you think show that definitively?

I'm basing it on how he's built and his play. He's way more built and a much more powerful athlete than Adams and Cole. Those guys aren't really built all that well and are below average athletes at this level.

As a 17 yr old it's not even close.

 

[Huskyforlife]

6'11 lanky dudes aren't supposed to move like that. Reminds me of Durant.

I haven’t seen him in person or even a full game for that matter so maybe youve seen stuff I haven’t. Do you have footage that you could point us to?

For a 17 year old high school player to already be stronger than a 21 year old Adams (who consistently wins the team weight room contests) seems unlikely without ever having worked consistently with a legit strength coach.

To Floyd’s credit he is only listed as 5 lbs lighter than Adams, which is impressive given his age.

There's athletic strength that is explosive and dynamic and there's athletic strength that's just not flexible/fluid.. I think Adams is the latter.

Floyd's high school has a legit strength program, I'm guessing he's about 220 lbs. now.

Adams is listed at 195 lbs. and there's no way he's winning any weight room contests on this team.
