Steven Enoch (Committed to UConn)

Steve Enoch, 6-foot-9, Norwalk (Conn.) High, No. 54: At June's Pangos All-American Camp, Enoch pretty much came out of nowhere to put himself in the national spotlight. Unfortunately, an injury at the NBPA Top 100 Camp cost him the chance to back up what he showed at Pangos.

High-major scholarship offers have rolled in like crazy for Enoch, but for the most part coaches have barely been able to watch him. He is big, he is physical and he has legitimate three-point touch on his jumper. At least, that is what we think based on the one weekend we were able to watch. If Enoch is able to play at the same level he did at Pangos Camp during the month of July, his recruitment could go nuclear.

Old quote from rivals, but still interesting. Maybe if he doesn't break his foot he garners more hype and thus takes longer to decide. If he plays well at next year @ stm wow, this could be a steal of a commit. 6'10 good athlete shoots threes
 
I don't understand how a guy with that kind of size, both in terms of height and weight, who moves that well, who gets off the floor that well, and who can handle AND shoot isn't a higher-rated prospect. What's the weakness I don't know about?

consistency, production, history of results, etc.
 
Pumped to get him! Love it when we can keep talent in the state! Only question is how does this change our stance on Stone? Stone is a PF but can play center and Enoch is more of a stretch 4 but just wondering.

I've never seen Stone listed as anything but a center anywhere. I've also never seen him play anything but center. He and Enoch aren't going to be playing the same position.

Stone is a center, not a 4. They play two different positions and bring two very different skillsets to the game. I would be shocked if either saw the other as a challenge to their playing time at UConn.
 
"UConn is apparently back in the Isaiah Briscoe sweepstakes now."

Enoch sounds like an excellent successor to DD in terms of having a versatile game at 6'9. He would instantly challenge Facey for minutes at the 4.

Unrelated, but who's getting pushed out of the starting lineup if Stone comes and Brimah stays (assuming Brimah shows significant improvement)?

Why don't we cross that bridge when (if ever) we get there?

Better player gets the minutes. That should KO's mentality. Gotta earn it. If Stone and Enoch come in right away and are killing it, KO should have no problem starting them over guys like Facey and Brimah.

Forget it.

He will never learn.

It is not about learning but more about caring. Why should I add more b.s. to the board. Short and to the point should be the rule for most.
.sure it is an issue that I write on a 3rd grade level.

It's pretty unlikely that he can handle the ball as well as the guys who have played the off guard position in recent years, including this coming year.
Expand ...
Of course he's not going to handle the ball as well as Bazz, or Boat, or when Kemba played off ball with Bazz in. Maybe not even Jeremy Lamb. But for a 6'6" SG/SF he's got some handle.

He's a solid enough ballhandler to play SF. He would be a poor ballhandler as a SG.
 
I can not wait to cheer for this kid for 3 years, and then jump for joy when the Celtics draft him in the lottery after he leads us to our 6th national title.

Your titles are a mile long, your posts are usually three words long.

YOU'VE GOT IT BACKWARDS.

Besides, writing at a third grade level puts you in the top ten percent here.

Yep. "Handles the ball well for his size" says any guard can steal at will. Rudy could handle great for his size but smaller players gave him fits.

He's really the appropiate age for his class, just has a birthday in the last quarter(maybe Sept ?) of the year. Hilton was the same way, I remember when he got drafted and it was getting talked up that he was a 21 year old graduating senior, when all it was it that he turned 22 later in the year. It seems like along the way with so many guys no staying back a year to gain a competitive edge that 19 year olds entering their freshman year have become the norm in cbb.

Parents are having their kids do that for a lot of sports. Kid gets an extra year of physical and technical development over his peers. In hopes of getting a better scholarship as result.
