I mean we will see how Facey plays this year, but we haven't seen the things in Facey that we've been seeing in Enoch. And Steve has a whole year to improve as well. I could see him starting at the 4, getting 15 minutes there with Facey and Rock splitting the rest, and sliding over to the 5 to give AB/PN rest and/or when KO wants to go small for a different look.

We can now officially expect to see FIVE potential shooters on the floor at times next season. If everyone (but Boat of course) stays, we will be seeing at times:
Jalen
RP
DHam
Facey
Enoch

And hooooly that is a lineup.

What have we've been seeing in Enoch at the college level? I'm very excited to have Enoch, but he's only had a great 2 months or so, he's pretty much in the same situation that Facey was in a couple of years ago except Facey followed up his summer by winning Gatorade POY in NY. Let's hold off a minute and let us see how both perform in college before we automatically catapult him ahead of a junior year, 22 year old Facey in the lineup.

Enoch was walking around at the football game with Coach Miller. Enoch is tall but thin. I nodded my head at him and he nodded back as I did not want to talk to him or approach him.

Starker!

I think brimah is closer to 6'11. but his wingpsan/standing reach is gargantuan, you can tell he has longer arms than enoch in that pic. Either way, enoch is a helluva prospect. 6'10 only 16, nice frame and athleticism. If he performs well next season he should rise even more in the rankings.

Actually since he's committed to UConn, bank on him never breaking through ESPNs top 50

Seriously. I'm excited to get Tallflow and all, but Facey had showed a lot more by the time he committed. People are so excited to taste the flavor of the month they forget what we already have in stock. Kelis Fisher will contribute this season and next!

I would hazard its closer to what @Matrim55 said. Much like Nucky Thompson from Boardwalk Empire.

Great finally a highly rated big guy for Ollie! I like and it is great he is from CT. Yep it is the hair as you can see that Brimah has an inch at least by the shoulders. Lol!

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!

How tall was he at 7? 6'10" at 16 is rather impressive.

It's the ch that I'm not so sure about.

Is it like osh-gosh?
Notch?
Knock?

My guess it's E-nosh.

I can see why you would think that, Dogmania, especially after Enosch Wolf. However, I know the kid (Enoch), from my 4 years at Norwalk High. It is in fact E-Knock.

I think they're both closer to 6'9 than even 6'10.......;).......but AB plays like he's 7' with his wingspan!

Who cares they're both good size........

Next to Brimah, Steve is taller with the hair, but their height looks very close. Either Steve is taller (or bigger shoes), or Amida is less than 7 feet

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ This and the fact that the kid is only 16 yo...WOW, Ollie really is on a roll! I am on cloud 9 just thinking about what is in store for our MBB future as long as Ollie is at the helms.

I like the core makeup of our 2015 roster already: a Roxbury PG + a home grown PF +.... It's magnetically, powerfully, irresistibly tempting for any kids who has not made up their minds yet.

Stone, you know who i am talking about....:-)
 
When a guy commits later than 10pm on a Saturday night you know you are doing something right in recruiting. Not exactly a Howie D type 1am thing but good enough. We can work toward that.
 
Are people really concerned about Nucky being told he'll have the opportunity to play right away?

Every eligible player on the team has the opportunity to play. He'll have to earn his minutes like anyone else.

He's listed at 6'10" and 225 on 24/7, considerably bigger than Comanche and heavier now than Nolan was last year. Just based on that, he could swing between the 4 and 5 as needed. He and Stone would complement each other. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

And he is only 16 and could easily put on 15 lbs.

There's been a lot of talk about if this big commits, this other one will decide to go elsewhere. If Enoch is anywhere close to 6-10, 225, plus the fact that he's just 16 and could have a little more growing in him, he's looking more an more like a 4/5 combo like Boone, Emeka, and a whole bunch of other bigs we've had in the past that can play either the 4 or 5. We've also discussed often how the 4 & 5 have pretty much been interchangeable in UConn's offense over the years. Yeah, defensively, the bigger is usually matched up against the other team's 5 and the more mobile of the two defends the 4.

What I'm driving at is I can see Enoch playing the 5 with someone like Lubin or Facey playing the 4 next to him. If they add Stone, who I think can play either post position, those two can coexist. We seem to have some nice coverage of both positions for 2015, more than many of us realize. If Brimah returns they'll have him, Nolan, Enoch to share time at the 5, and Enoch, Nolan, Facey and Lubin at the 4. If they add Stone, then that gives them another who can play either spot, though he's likely play primarily at the 5. Where adding Stone or some other big who can play the 5, is that Brimah could end up leaving after this season...not saying he will...and we'd be a tad small at the 5 if Facey or Lubin needed to fill in at the 5.
