Solomon is The Spice.

I wonder if we’ll see some ‘23 recruits join the team for the second semester and red shirt as we’ve seen for the last few years

 

[UCTitleTown]

I just read an article that referred to him as Solo Ball. That's a great hoops name especially when he goes one on one. Is he in anyway related to the NBA Ball brothers?

 

[Sibeerian]

His social media says he has a 6’10 wingspan and a 45 inch vert

45 inch vertical... Solo is a Skywalker

You forgot my boy Emmett Hendry!

Plus Sid Finch.

Late rising Lefty combo guard with aggressiveness and ability to finish, plus dog mentality? I’m in.

In all honesty you had me at lefty guard.

Only 4 pages on this kid's announcement thread? Must be because of the busy holiday weekend.

Watched 30 mins of youtube clips on this guy so I'm essentially a recruiting expert.

Love his combination of handle and change of pace. He's crafty and shifty with the ball, reminds me of Shabazz in that regard. Good to have a guard who can beat guys 1v1 off the dribble and create space. Appears to be a great finisher at the rim, through contact, and can hit his FTs.
Combined with + athleticism, length, and dog mentality, I love this kid's game.

Tremendous pickup by the staff.

Lefty Jalen Adams.

Lefty Jalen Adams.

Not sure about that

Lefty Jalen Adams.

Jalen was a more polished prospect and much higher ranked. I thought Jalen was for sure going to the NBA when UConn signed him but he avoided contact like the plague. Ball seems like he likes contact. He's also more built in his upper body already than Jalen is right now.

I don't really see the similarities.

I definitely don’t see it but if he’s as good as adams was i’d be more than happy

Jalen’s game was more smooth. Solo’s is very aggressive and downhill.

UConn comp to me.. A lefty Jerome Dyson-- Strong finisher in traffic going to the hole.

Slicin Dyson! I could for sure see that. That 2009 team might’ve been one of my favorite and most well rounded ones.

Yea if dyson doesn’t get hurt we were gonna give Carolina all they could handle plus more in the title game, still almost got there anyway

Yeah Adrien, Thabeet, and Sticks would’ve gave Tyler boy hell. AJ Price is one of the more underrated guards we had.

Anyone notice that while he shoots lefty, he dunks right-handed?
The intrigue grows.

Honestly gives me a slightly bigger, slightly shorter Emmitt Matthews Jr vibe. What could have been here....always loved him

That kid didn’t end up being very good.
