Tyler Polley commits to UConn!

I did not get a chance to see Polley - so I can't really make an evaluation.
 
Can polley become a top 100 player? I really like carlton and polley, hopefully KO can top this good foundation with a legit nba prospect (ahem hami). I would be ok calling a class of MAL hami carlton and polley as 'great'.

edit: he is on plenty of top 100s.

Seems like a mix between TL and VJ. Well let's believe in KO. Doesn't seem a super athelete. Maybe we are getting away from recruiting athletes first during the Calhoun era and looking at bball skills first. Nice stroke and he seems to have a decent handle from the videos.
 
Can this kid dunk? I didn't watch the whole video but it seems he takes layups when most others would jam it.

He did a 2 handed dunk in there. Seem like a dham type athlete though but a dynamic offensive game.

This is the best part of the commit IMO. KO has some bodies now, has crossed some Ts and dotted some Is regarding front court depth, got three commitments out of the way, and now can focus solely on our big targets

This applies to 2018 as well. Getting guys like Polley and Carlton on board gives him real flexibility over the next two years.
 
I like this kid. He's well spoken, wrote a nice announcement message with very few errors and no slang that I needed to decode. He seems like a smart, thoughtful kid that will want to learn and improve. I'll be honest, when kids seem illiterate in their announcement messages, it makes me nervous. Give me a guy like this over a super talented kid that can barely read any day. He has a nice stroke, good touch and can run the floor. Very excited.

When I hear it, I think, future NBA star since he knows he won't have a degree to fall back on.

its probably wise not to judge 18 year olds off their grammar. What kids have seemed illiterate?

Although I mostly agree with your sentiment.... Being literate and having the ability to speak well, doesn't win you championships. Skill does.

I like this kid. Glad he committed. May be lower ranked. But I could see him being a guy who's a late bloomer. Certainly has the athletic heritage. Got a little Tayshaun Prince in him if you ask me. Always respected Tayshaun. Never thought he was going to be a super star or the even the best player on a given court. But very versatile, long and rangy, and a great motor.

That sums up my feelings better than I could've.

I admittedly haven't been as in tune with these types of recruiting targets so to me, getting HD or HD + (insert 4-5*) is the goal for this class, and no matter how great otherwise, will sting if we don't at least get that.
