Just committed to UConn.

I like this signing. Nice start to the next class. Now add Woodson and XRM/Daniels/Matthews and I'm happy.

 

[Brochacho]

Great commit. High potential. Now we absolutely need Woodson then best SG/SF available imo.

 

[Burnsbros23]

hes got good potential. hope this doesnt effect us with XRM/Hamilton or any other SG's we persue

Daniels who?

 

[huskiesnyc]

He's an athlete and a nice tall PG that can also score. Very underrated and has has that NYC/BK swag we love at UConn. He's a late bloomer and there is a reason JC and K Ollie were after this kid so hard..

Daniels who?

My fault, I meant Hamilton, brain fart.

NY pipeline continues!

Seems very athletic, Tony Robertson-like.

Love the nyc tough kids

Two big, tough, NYC guards to build around in Samuel and Calhoun. There is a lot to like about that.

tweet from NY Post beatwriter Zach Braziller who covers NYC HS hoops(the Royal Ivey comment was a dig @ Rothstein for another lazy 'player x is a poor man's player y' comparison)

I've seen people compare Terrence Samuel to Royal Ivey and others say he's a shooting guard. Kid is a pure point, and good one at that.

 

[superjohn]

Not sure where all the shooting guard talk is coming from, the kid is a point guard and a very good distributor.

Let's get a game in Barclay's Center for these kids

Zach Braziller ‏@NYPost_Brazille
I don't think it's hyperbole to say UConn hoops' future is tied to success of locals Omar Calhoun, Kentan Facey and Terrence Samuel.


Zach Braziller ‏@NYPost_Brazille
Rhode Island was right there at the end, I'm told. Samuel will join New Rens teammate Kentan Facey in Storrs, Conn.


Zach Braziller ‏@NYPost_Brazille
@DATRUTHISHERE I know one more who may join them

Is UConn recruiting any more tri-state area kids?

Not XRM and Woodson. Anyone else?

Reggie Cameron is from New Jersey....or maybe it's Chris McCullough or Isaiah Whitehead who are both from NYC

Those are both 2014 right?

Fuchs also plays with them on ren. He also goes to ctk. He will play both fball and bball at uconn. Fball ship and bball walkon. Uconn is nyc's team!

Correct

 

[DogMania]

Nice get. Welcome to hoop's central, TS! The place where National Championships are realized.

calhoun will not leave this program in any other position than on top. hes put too much into it to let recruits slide by. now does that mean hes going to be here for them in the next few years who knows but he will be around the program and with ollie being a boss on the recruiting trail and as a mentor im pretty happy and excited. our fanbase needs to be there for these kids regardless of the circumstances. i am excited for this season, CAN'T WAIT!!

Makes sense.
