[SirHypeAlot]

Hell yes

 

[husky99]

If it's Stone and Newman, you might even consider throwing in an exclamation point?

Bring it down fishy. That is crazy talk!

Enoch and Adams. 2 Great Future Husky's.

Diamond Stone - You're on the Clock.

Consensus top 60 ranked player nationally. Big, strong, can also shoot the 3 and tons of upside as a late bloomer.

Let's not get crazy here...

Oh, I think it'd be worth getting crazy ... Might even break out an emoticon

 

[The Smart One]

Great pick up and he has a smooth stroke for a big guy on shots outside the paint, which kind of shocks me that hes a 46% ft shooter

 

[donyell34]

Welcome Steve, great news.

 

[RedDog]

Adams to Enoch for 2 has a nice ring!

 

[RedDog]

And hopefully will win a ring or 2

 

[Citrusdog]

Mr Enoch, welcome!

If Coach Ollie recruited you... you obviously are: a terrific young person, a good student and have the potential to be a heckuva' basketball player.

Steven, you've earned yourself a scholarship into a really great school, a basketball powerhouse - and a brotherhood of players and coaches like no other.

Congratulations! I think we're all very excited you are coming to UCONN!

 

[Chief00]

Quite frankly, I like his soft hands and shooting touch for a guy his size.

 

[Kitaman]

So Happy. A good in-State get!

Selfishly he will ensure UConn will play in Fairfield County; Bridgeport at least 4 more years.

Hard to get much better than this, but Ollie will try. Today's linky

 

[UconnFanNVa]

Awesome that we landed him! Excited about this team's future!

 

[Mazhude]

Excellent news! The next generation of UConn basketball has begun!

And we even get to include Biblical wrath into our cheers going forward (see what I did there )! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_(ancestor_of_Noah)

Three extensive apocryphal works are attributed to Enoch:

• 1st Book of Enoch, or simply the Book of Enoch, an apocryphal book in the Ethiopic Bible that is usually dated between the third century BCE and the first century CE.
• 2nd Book of Enoch, an apocryphal book in the Old Slavonic Bible usually dated to the first century CE.
• 3rd Book of Enoch, a Rabbinic text in Hebrew usually dated to the fifth century CE.

These recount how Enoch is taken up to Heaven and is appointed guardian of all the celestial treasures, chief of the archangels, and the immediate attendant on God's throne. He is subsequently taught all secrets and mysteries and, with all the angels at his back, fulfills of his own accord whatever comes out of the mouth of God, executing His decrees. Much esoteric literature like the 3rd Book of Enoch identifies Enoch as the Metatron, the angel which communicates God's word. In consequence, Enoch was seen, by this literature, and the Rabbinic kabbala of Jewish mysticism, as having been the one which communicated God's revelation to Moses, in particular, the dictator of the Book of Jubilees.

Awesome! Congrats to Enoch and his family. It is special to be able to grow up rooting for a team and then play for them. I wish the young man lots of luck. Two spots left. Let's see who the final two spots go to. It looks like the staff remains very selective. They seem to be focusing on Jones, Briscoe, Stone, Comanche, and Clarke. It will be interesting to see who is smart enough to take the next two spots. Any two of the remaining five would be an amazing class.

My big takeaways from that video are that he's agile for a 6'10 dude, and I really hope he wears #106 at UConn.

 

[UConnMike04]

This is so strange for me! I used to be this kid's counselor 9 years ago, played basketball in the agencies parking lot on an 8 ft. hoop. Never would've imagined this. It's great though! Everyone I used to work with is so proud of him also!

 

[Peacefrog]

I was hoping to wake up to this headline. Borges got my hopes up very high. Two highly ranked kids already in the fold. Any two of the remaining targets would be one of our best classes ever.

 

[Peacefrog]

I know rules are rules but does Calhoun really need to wear that big badge for identification?

 

[UConnRock]

One of the biggest pluses of this is that he is only 16 and turns 17 in September. My guess is that over 90% of hs hoops players with aspirations of playing college ball would reclassify to the class of 2016. . In short, he is certainly still developing his frame if not still adding height. He is rivals top 60 in the class of 2015, if he had reclassified he would be top 25 if not top 10 in class of 2016.

My take on his game- he is certainly a 4 even if he is still growing. Great hands and smooth with the ball. Finished 3rd in the 3 point contest in a recent elite all-star game in NYC. Having trouble comparing him to past Uconn players. Uconn hasn't had many beefy 4s that could shoot

 

[djct1999]
