[Storrs South]

 

[ctchamps]

Replacement for Isaiah Whaley? Biblical!!

 

[NowInStorrs]

Any relation to LaMelo?

When I saw the Twitter handle I thought we were recruiting Lance Armstrong

 

[UConnStats]

EYBL stats: Team Melo EYBL (MD) - 2022 The Circuit - Roster - #10 - Solomon Ball - G

Too bad Akok isn’t still on the roster. Akok and Ball would be quite the duo.

 

[Chief00]

We need to NIL that team.

Solo Ball isn't currently ranked but he's about to blow up, he's AAU teammates with Isaiah Coleman who is a UConn fan.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

The weather is outstanding today in Storrs!!

6-10 wingspan and 45" vertical. 6-3 PG.


Looks like "another big tough guard".

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Want him and Coleman

 

[Slick]

Kind of looks like a more athletic version of Corey Floyd Jr

 

[That Guy]

Any relation to LaMelo?

Yeah, he's the 4th Ball brother...

May be cousins if he plays for the AAU team.

45" vertical?!? The NFL combine record is 46", and the NBA record is 48" by Jordan. Anyone know what Jackson's vertical is?

Was reportedly 46" in high school

I think McDyess had a 49" vertical.

IIRC.. Boatright was measured in the 40"+ range

How could a fourth Ball with those measurables be flying under the radar. I must be missing something.

He's not actually related

Melo as in Carmelo

Those numbers reminded me of an NBA star called David Thompson (44 inches) and here is a listing of NBA greats. What was surprising in the list is Zion Williamson with a pic to demonstrate:

That makes so much more sense with him being in Maryland.

David was an unbelievable leaper.. Was in Denver when he played for the Nuggets.. Enjoyed the night life a little too much and it eventually ended his career prematurely. IIRC--His nickname was "Skywalker"

Loved watching David Thompson at NC State as well as Darrell Griffith at Louisville back in those days. Skywalkers but good basketball players as well despite being somewhat undersized.

When I saw Thompson mentioned, my first thought was Darrell "Dr. Dunkenstein" Griffith. When I see the name Skywalker I think of Kenny "Sky" Walker from Kentucky.
