2023 Recruiting: Solomon Ball to Announce His School Friday July 1st at 5 PM!!

The quick turnaround for his commitment announcement has to favor the good guys... the recent momentum is strongly in our favor (his good friend Jayden Ross' commitment, his own official visit here and recent subsequent tweet mentioned earlier in this thread amongst other things), and young Mr. Ball is not leaving any time for anyone else on that list to turn the momentum tide away from us... other than for a last minute hail mary (a.k.a. a big monetary offer) from either Miami or USC.

Looks like we could have an amazing backcourt coming in between him and Castle... LET'S GO!

Also said he's announcing his decision July 1st so we won't have to wait long here.

feel like we have the most momentum so this is a good sign
 
Here's a link to his top five and what he has to say about UConn:

UConn: “It was a really good visit. I have a good bond with Coach (Dan) Hurley, Luke Murray, and the rest of the coaching staff. I was able to talk to the players, hang out with them, and be around them. They were really good guys too. They have really nice facilities and I felt really welcomed.”

Scouting Summary​

Solomon Ball is a crafty lefty who plays with a lot of pop. He has a slippery way of getting to the rim off the bounce and a crafty finishing package at the rim. Ball is more of a scorer than a shooter. He is confident in the mid-range, and things can get inconsistent from beyond the arc. He is an explosive athlete and has upside as a perimeter defender with his length and pop. You want to see Ball consistently affect the game, even when he is not scoring. But he has a competitive nature that shows from whistle to whistle. A late growth spurt has put Ball on the map, but he still plays with that competitive chip he had as a 5-foot-5 freshman. – On3’s Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst

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

Fair but we were all watching the same player. I can’t be the only one who felt this was a serious issue.
 
Significant lefty’s who played for UConn. Marcus Willams. Jeff King. Antric Klaiber. Anyone else?

Have Coach or the UConn Mens Basketball account ever posted about a recruit before they commit?

Can never feel safe with Miami or USC involved. Both big-time NIL schools.

How is this playing out like they give these 15-17 year old kids NIL estimates? Or do they have the funding lined up already and they have guaranteed money for the kid? I would love to be a fly on the wall while USC talks to kids about money.

USC has been giving some major NIL cash to football recruits and transfers. Jordan Addison and Malachi Nelson have done quite well apparently. How that relates to top 75 basketball recruits I have zero idea.

They just show up with 2 brief cases & 1 more in the trunk. Just in case the first 2 aren’t impressive

They do a PHENOMENAL job with write ups every time. Great stuff

Read that one earlier. I really like the floor on him and love the ceiling on him. His wingspan, leaping ability, strength, and aggressiveness are high level future NBA attributes.

Not saying his game is there now or he'll for sure get there but he has the things not too many other players have which makes his ceiling so damn high. He's also someone who is growing into his basketball body now while some other players already kind of topped out.
