Tyler Polley V. Chairs!!!

[Danzz]

The chair has an on Campus visit this weekend. He's a 2 star fold up.

Offer the chair. We need bodies.

His father is probably looking for the big stage after all he was a throne in his day. But still sick of fathers stepping in, you're going to have to sit down for this one, he said: "KO really didn't have a plan on how to use him, he wasn't going to move him all over the floor instead keeping him in one position. My son is a table setter, a point chair actually...."

If you were a coach wood you put up with his barking?

My son is a table setter, a point chair actually...."

When it comes to crunch time your son "folds".

 

[nomar]

I can't

We'll still take you if you happen to be 6'7" or taller.

Chairs aside, it's nice to see Polley in action... He looks like he's gotten bigger, both taller and put on more weight since some of the videos that I've watched of him. Hopefully he can instantly contribute.

 

[RichZ]

Cushioned chair.
Soft.

 

[Tommyboy]

I thought we were looking at an Italian made chair? My sources are always wrong.

On 247 and verbal commits Polly, Carlton and Whaley are 4*.

Polley has a really nice looking J. Excited for this kid.

All of these players are going to be contributors. We won't have elite big men but we'll have bigs good enough to win a championship if we get an elite perimeter.

Its father had some nasty things to say about us on Twitter.

Yeah, I don't get all the hate. The chair would have been the best defender we've had since Emeka. Did you see the way he held his ground and never fouled?

But how fast can that chair get up and down the court? We don't want to slow down our transition game. At a minimum, we need a roller chair.

Huh? Just looked on 247 and all were 3*.

Depends on coaching, right? I'm pretty sure Bobby Knight could have that chair sailing across the floor.

Maybe Nike has some roller feet they can supply us. An added bonus is that rollers will raise the height of our players. That chair was listed at 3' 6", but at UConn it'll be 3'8" at least.

Didn't we get another guy who kicked butt against chairs? It used to be high school ball, then AAU, now they moved on th playing against chairs. Gotta love it

Coach Knight used to get chairs mixed up with bowling:

See something wrong with Josh Carlton's profile? We'd love an assist, just let us know about the error and we'll get right on it.

The video is nice, but Ater Majok was the Lebron of Man vs Chair offense. This kid is no Majok! Of course, Ajou Deng was the Jordan of Man vs Chair offense.

My source tells me the chair and a promising orange cone are a package deal heading to Cuse. Both excel in zone defense.

 

[Huskyforlife]

This thread is so cringy.

Good work exposing the chair but we need to see if he can finish at the rim against a swimming pool noodle.

Chairs top 4 no Uconn

No problem, that chair was no good. We really want the big recliner, or the Euro chair.

Next...

I looked at the video again. That chair has no moves. Just stands there flat footed. It might work in the Syracuse zone but won't in our man to man.

Is Polley more of a SF or a PF? I see his skill set and size putting him more at the 3, but hearing a lot of talk about him being a 4. With the roster of 4's and 5's next year looking to be Cobb, Carlton, MD, Whaley, and possibly the grad transfer from Cornell or even Larrier playing the stretch 4 it seems to be pretty loaded. Anyone have any more information about his position in HS/AAU or where he may pan out once he gets here?
