Is it normal to play teams a year older/younger at some of these tournaments? I'm sure the gifted athletes have always played older competition but I feel like at this high level of competition that would be a big disadvantage.
 
Early line on Brewster players I expect to be able to report on this year. 2022 Dasonte Bowen PG 6'3 #153, 2022 Yann Farrell SF 6'7 #114, 2023 Taylor Bol-Bowen 6'8, 2024 Jason Asemota 6'7. I think I also saw something a while back about Dwayne Wade's son. Looks like the talent will be young, but the roster is always fluid until the games start. Frequently they have 4-5 true international players from Europe/Asia that include a decent prospect or two. I'm interested to see these young guys.

It looks to me like there were just a handful of 2023s at the event. Generally the 5* types.

Also keep an eye on Jeremiah Jenkins from New Britain who went from '23 to '24 and will be playing for Brewster. UMass offer.

Taylor Bowen, F- We’ve already got Bowen ranked among the top 30 of the class of 2023 and after seeing him with his grassroots team Expressions Elite and now at Pangos, the ranking looks well-earned. Bowen is a long and lean athlete who plays with lots of energy and versatility. Big wing, small ball four, it doesn’t really matter because he fits both roles. He was finishing lobs, draining threes and seemed to have a lot of fun competing. Arkansas, Connecticut, Iowa, LSU, Penn State, Providence and Rutgers are just some of his offers.

As noted by many Yarders and by observing the recent activity.. Many high-caliber/UConn style players kicking tires in Storrs these days. Coincidently, many but not all are from our prime recruiting areas of NYC/NE/NJ/Penn-but that geographic focus is clearly expanding as well.

What I appreciate about this staff's approach is they are creating a sense of urgency among these recruits by the sheer volume and quality of the candidates evaluating UConn BB. There are only so many spots to fill in the next two years and there appears to be a great deal of interest from recruits and their families. Decisions will have to be made soon if they want to be part of the drive for five.

Sure feels like Dan Hurley/staff are "all in" on recapturing UConn's Blue Blood status sooner rather than later. Impressive to watch.

All over this kid. From all accounts he's a super impressive young man re: maturity and work ethic.

Saw this tweet the other day and thought it was really great. Love to see the staff getting after great players who are high character people. Seems like a really good kid.

You can't teach this kind of stuff. Most guys, even ones on our team, are ego trips that don't really even notice the kid sitting on the sidelines watching.

I'd put my money on Bowen being our first 5* with Hurley. Fits our style of play perfectly at the 4. He's basically Akok with a better handle and shot at the same age.

Taylor is from Jericho, VT and I live about 15 miles from Jericho and said I would put out some feelers about him and report back. First, I did see him play when he was a freshman and had no idea he was a freshman, he was extremely athletic and played very hard. I know HS basketball in VT is not what it is in other states but this game was between probably the two best teams in the state that year and he definitely stood out. I asked a couple of kids that have played with him and against him and one said " he's not that good" while the other one argued and said that he is really nasty now. I also ran into a local coach who didn't really know how good he is now but know's him a little and the word is that he is a great person who works very hard at his game. Wish I had more but that is it for now.
 
From 247 for you.
Marquette: "Shaka Smart reached out to me. My St. George's teammate Tyler Kolek plays there. Obviously having the chance to play with him would be special for sure."

Maryland: "I really like the program because of its rich basketball history. They are in a great league. I am just blessed to have them involved in my recruitment."


Providence: "I plan on visiting their campus. I like Ed Cooley a lot. I have worked out there before so I have spent some time on their campus. The school is like a second home for me and I feel it would be nice to visit their campus unofficially."

UCONN: "I really enjoyed my unofficial visit there. I thank the coaches for inviting me. I really enjoyed seeing how hard the players went in practice and I know that Dan Hurley is going to hold his players accountable each and every day. He gets the best out of his players because he is focused on getting better and winning."

USC: "Jason Hart reached out to me yesterday afternoon. They are one of the best schools in the nation and they have a good basketball program. They have a history of coaching professionals in Onyeka Okongwu and Evan Mobley. Also, the location of the school is very nice."
