Is this a PWO situation? Where is the bat signal if this is real? Not seeing any twitter activity from the UConn coaches.

hmmmm

I agree with the posters above.

5'7" 200lbs? That's a stout little bowling ball. Should have no problem staying low to the ground.

 

[huskymedic]

Let it play out...if PWO it can be edited as we have done in past.

Yeah, unfortunately I agree. For his size the blocks are not impressive.

As someone who is 5' 5" and 220 (but dropping), we are not bowling ball shaped. The true shape falls somewhere in between a sitting Buddha and a pear.
Definitely low to the ground.

What are the chances he grows an inch or two?

As if a professional coaching staff with many decades of well-recognized quality scouting experience and first-hand analysis may not be far more informed sources of skills, potential, etc.

I don't want to be disrespectful to the young man, so I'll see myself out.

I was thinking the same thing, bud didnt wanna be a jerk. No one from the staff even follows him

The guy never said that he was getting a scholarship. Just that he was going to Uconn. He seems pretty happy about it.

... a random kid announced he'll be a UConn student several months before it's even possible to receive an acceptance letter from the university. Could be ...

If the football staff recruited him and they see value (scholarship or PWO opportunity) -I’m all in.

We have increased our recruiting in upstate NY w/ the Coach Smith addition to staff. It just seems random - not much out there on him at all.

o.k. But I'm not sure there is a reason to believe we offered him a scholarship.

Sooo... delete the thread/change title? I’m betwixt.

Hoping to see if StorrsCentral/UConnBlog comes out w/ a story.

I hope we didn't...

 

[Hoophound]

No chance that is for real. None.

 

[blue93]

The lack of UConn light signal from the coaches leads me to believe this isn't legitimate. Maybe PWO but from what I can tell none of the coaches even follow the kid. We'll see I guess.

I vote for delete, but the longer it stays up the the funnier it becomes. Nice make move by the kid.
