We need to close this one. Aren't they related?

Castle, Ball, Middleton to follow Newton, Hawkins, and AJax?

 

[Huskyforlife]

This one feels pretty safe as well

He posted this the day before he announces his top 5 so I would think that is a good sign we will be there. It is also interesting that he posted it around the time of the announcement of a recruit he is close with commitment to U

Nice

Kid is ripped for a 16 year old. Plus that 45 inch vertical. Imagine what a real S&C and nutrition program could do for him. Good grief.

He gives me Westbrook vibes. But clearly a better shooting prospect

Early identification of late risers with great raw skills, combined with this staffs proven ability to develop kids is going to be CRUCIAL moving forward.

Major props to the staff for recognizing the talent here early and really expediting the process and making him feel comfortbale with Connecticut. I hope Team Melo turns into a new solid pipeline for us going forward.

Good thought. But we probably stole him after Jim Boheim identified him.

(That's the theory, according to the lovable folks at Syracusefan.com)

the next domino

Completely agree. His explosiveness and the way he attacks is too similar. Combo guard just like UCLA Westbrook.

Hawk should focus on learning how to dribble before he starts thinking NBA

Sheesh, got a ton of dislikes. Was I overreacting to Hawks dribbling / ball control issues last year?

On its own, no. But given your posting history it comes across as you still actively rooting against Hawkins being drafted

 

[McLovin]

Hoping that after further consideration, he’s no longer doing a top 5 and just going to announce the good guys tonight

 

[Storrs South]

Let's change it to 1 at 1

Who else is in the running for him? Any bigger fish we need to worry about or are we the big fish here?

USC is the biggest threat at the moment.

I like Ball's highlights. Very athletic, has a decent enough looking shot and finishes well with both hands. One thing that did concern me a bit was that Team Melo seemed to be losing in every single highlight I saw. Did they win any games this year?

They started 0-6. Now 6-7. I will say historically, Team Melo has not been very well structured in the EYBL.
