wow cancels his Memphis visit but gets an offer from KO and he's coming right away? Sounds pretty good to me...................but then again..........

Memphis just got a commitment from a four star point guard this weekend.

Although I wouldn't compare him talent wise as of now his game reminds me a lot of Andre Miller from Utah when in college. Pretty good size, high dribble but controlled and a real nice cross over with the ability to either shoot it or take it to the hoop and find open people......I know it' s video hilights but he looks like he has nice game and just plays!

don't want to derail the thread but has anyone ever checked out the highlights of Jamill Powell from Bridgeport? He's on the same Juco team as Newberry, kid has crazy range. Look at where he's shooting from at the 1:00 minute mark...

I think Kevin Duffy did a story about Powell for the CT Post not too long ago. Sounds like he was a great talent out of high school but didn't have the grades. I don't have a link but the article made it sound like he was tearing it up in JuCo.

Was Caron a juco?

Before I respond, I just need to know if you were born after 2000 or if you were detained in a Turkish prison around the turn of the century.

I really like this offer.

It stills gives us the option to go hard after Dorsey in 2014 while filling our more immediate need for a PG in case Boatright bolts for the draft. It also helps in case Purvis or Samuels don't pan out as expected without locking up that position with a four year commit that is only a back up plan.

Right now it seems like a few of these of high level recruits are sleeping on Uconn. Maybe because of us not playing in the Big East or NCAA tournament (last year). A few of them will will live to regret their decision.

Calhoun built this program and hand picked his successor for a reason. This ensures that Uconn is and will always be a Top level program regardless of our conference affiliation. I am not worried if we miss out on a few of our top targets. This program will not die, we will RELOAD.

Not bad driving the ball either....at the beginning of the video, they list him as 6'6" and a PG/SG or SG/PG.

2014 New Mexico JUCO PG Jeff Newberry tells me that UConn's Kevin Ollie & Oklahoma State's Travis Ford will see him workout tomorrow.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Have we heard anything additional about a potential visit? I know there was some talk about next week...

I was critical of a mixtape posted yesterday, but that was good. Kid has a nice handle and smooth shot that he can make from apparently anywhere.
