UConn Offers 2016 Big Caleb Swanigan

[3uconn]

@DerekPiper247: Also like how Swanigan can handle the ball out in transition. Very few bigs athletic enough to do that.

@scottybscout: Caleb Swanigan fighting through multiple defenders on every touch & for every rebound. Is awesome on the glass at both ends of the floor

This is a UCONN kid. OK, maybe not necessarily the first bit, but whatever, bonus skills.

Is this recruitment dead or does UC still have a foot in the door?

Get a kick out of people who say "nothing above the rim" as if it means they can't be any good? I mean there are many bigs who play above the rim and can't make a freakin shot. He is like Jessie Govan from what I see, creates space, isn't particularly quick but knows where the basket is and that's a damn good thing for his age.

The funniest thing is how many wide bodied bigs over the years who didn't play above the rim ate our guys up? Yes our bigs who played above the rim……..

He has that big rear Barkley look that allows him to create space and get his shot off. Sign him up.

dead

Thanks. So pretty much UConn is out on every top 100 left that they offered that hasn't committed yet

kid looks good, offense looks smooth and when he puts the ball down he doesnt look like thabeet or amida. if he can rebound, play physical, and finish when it's his time he'll be solid the first year... i know it's just a video.... if uconn gets him and stone our frontcourt and backcourt is looking really good

@evgeeker: S/O to 2015 @Biggs_Swanigan for picking an offer from Kevin Ollie and the defending champs UCONN Huskies!


It has been going around lately that UConn has been after him and they just offered. Also, he's listed as 2016 but will end up in 2015.

I was all excited until I saw that I posted something back in May.

Anyone else you'd like while you're at it? Other than New England kids we haven't had success getting anyone recently, but you sort of expect him AND Stone?

But don't worry, everything is fine.

Pathetic.

Yeah it's worrisome that top recruits outside of this area seem to have little interest

Curtis Kelly with an Afro wig.

 

[caw]

Shocked if he's not Duke or UK or maybe MSU.

You're really adding a lot to the conversation. Perhaps you could set fire to something?

Himself?

 

[SubbaBub]

If it's 'Sw-ann-igan, then I'm all in on this kid sight unseen. If it's 'Sw-ah-nigan, then I want no part of him.

As rational a recruiting analysis as you'll find anywhere.

I have no tolerance for Sw-inn-igans.

 

[jibsey]

Above the rim? He clearly dunks but not every chance, and he's got several ways to score inside, I'll take him in a nanosecond.

 

[Jerry1714]

His nickname here will be Tim Duncan Donuts.

Coach KO must be seeing something I'm missing, to be sure. Video was not impressive, IMO. Looked slow and earthbound. Fat and basketball excellence do not often coexist.

Kid is the 8th ranked recruit in his class but he sucks.

Boneyard logic.

No, I think you have the Boneyard logic wrong. Recruits only suck once they sign with us. Unless and until they do, it should be assumed that: (1) they will be better than any players already on our team; (2) they will be better than any other recruits we do sign; and (3) it will be Ollie's fault if we do not get them.

@TheRecruitScoop: 2015 Homestead (IN) center Caleb Swanigan - a top-20 senior - has committed to Michigan State.

 

[Horatio]

Yep!!!!

 

[joober jones]

Is he a relative of Tulsa's Swanigan?
