Yet another NYC native point guard, very promising.

Great news. Now all I want is for the season to begin right away. No waiting until November. Is that asking too much?

No, it's just jumping ahead and skipping the announcement Facey will play this season and Snider, Abu, Larrier and Chuckwa announce they are coming to UConn. Then let the season begin.

This is a BIG deal and I happy for this kid as we know how much he wanted to be Husky..........good for him. This should be on top of the threads!!

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Congratulations Terrence Samuel.

Welcome to the dream.

It's already been posted but this video shows a lot. Can go strong to the rim both hands. Great court vision. And has a nice mid-range dribble pull-up jumper which is a hard skill to master and imperative for good point guards to have. Overall his game is very mature coming out of High School.

whenever i watch that video it makes me think that he'll be a starter by his junior year, assuming we don't get a AA or somthing.

Nice to have him--we need Facey now. Ill believe all year that this was a championship caliber team WITH Wolf and a step below without him as long as we also had Facey and Samuels I dont see how w3e can win it without the 7-1 260 available to us even for 12-15 minutes

Lets see we have a 4 year pg. Under the tutelage of an NBA point guard. Understudy of an AA senior point guard. Practicing daily and watching another soon to be NBA dynamo.

We just might have our point guard for the next 4 years!

Makes me feel much better and makes me want to tell all those recent 'dropsie' recruits to go eat shtt.

I'm a little concerned (or puzzled at the least) that the headline doesn't match the content of the story. The story says that he fulfilled requirements needed to enroll at UConn, but not that he's made it through the NCAA Clearinghouse. There's nothing in the story that says he can play this year - the headline writer seemed to reach his/her own conclusions that weren't there.

Awesome! Welcome aboard

I'm just guessing here but I assume he has already met the SAT standard, or else he wouldn't have been admitted, and the classes he was missing were core courses under NCAA rules. Once he passed them he need only inform the eligibility center and he's fine.

I've got to agree with you on this one. With how sensitive Warde has been with academics since he became the AD (reference the Kuran Iverson recruitment among others), I have to believe that the only thing TS was missing was the course he's now completed.

Welcome aboard, TS.

I'm going to be careful next time I'm driving through Terryville..........do they have the "Kangaroo Xing" signs up all over?
