[CallMeBruce]

Freshman Amida 4pts 3 rebs
Sophomore Amida 30pts 15 rebs
Juniior Amida 225pts 45 rebs
Senior Amida 1,6875pts 135 rebounds

If he keeps up his anticipated increase as expected for Soph. year

You're assuming a straight-line increase, but it's obviously going to be exponential.
Freshman year: 4pts, 3rebs
Soph year: 30pts, 15rebs
JR year: 4207.6pts, 792.6rebs
SR year: 778703687.5pts, 13997300.2rebs

Give or take.

100 points? What's wrong with 111?

He's no Denham. Come on.

Did you know that disco record sales were up 400% for the year ending 1976? If these trends continue… A-y-y-y!

I don't think anyone believes Brimah is going to be a lottery pick in the next draft. especially when Kentucky alone has about 4 bigs who will get taken before him..

But since I've never read a report about his family background, I would not be assured that he does not have pressing financial concerns that might make him jump on the NBA's guaranteed million for being a first-round pick.

There have been stories that both Amida's parents are college educated, with his father having gone to college in England. A few stories seem to lead that his father is quite intelligent, from a well to do family & a successful builder or something like that in his home city. I'm guessing they are more upper middle class. So the need for Amida to declare to help the family would seem minimal. I'm guessing Amida was brought up well, so money isn't a factor.

I agree NBA teams have their eye on him. He's got the height, motor, athleticism, eagerness to learn & leadership qualities that NBA teams love. He's just raw, but quickly developing. This year should be fun to see how far he's come along. We can all discus his NBA possibilities at the end of the season, rather than before the season starts.

Another 'fun' fact... I can't remember once reading or hearing Amida is looking to move to the NBA anytime soon. Some of us are rushing him off to the NBA. I don't even think he's thinking about it, but rather than getting better & leading. He seems to be loving his time @ UConn, which is what college should be about. With Thabeet, Boat, Bazz, Drummond, Lamb, Kemba we all knew they were interested... Amida, he doesn't even seem to talk about it. I'm ok with that, even though I agree he has potential to leave early. I think Ollie will have that discussion with Amida, when Ollie thinks the time is right. Let's just enjoy him while he's here. Stone could learn a lot from Amida... passing of the torch!

It may be that Amida will learn a lot from Diamond.

I think Diamond commits to UCONN when all is said and done. I have thought this for the last two months.

I know we are DOOMED!

You got me wondering if Colorado and Washington schools have been getting an uptick in recruiting.

You still have to be 21 to partake.

I'm sure that law is being followed.
