I posted this in October. He committed in November.

Reminder: Chipola is also where Eric Cobb played

Also Handsome Cassell Jr no?

Forgot, but yes you’re right

The URI forum seems convinced this guy was destined to warm their bench. Has he been playing well in JUCO?

some 2020 highlights:

Chipola is a JC powerhouse so you would think players would be good.....

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Bring him in for first night, and he can be part of Hurley's 4-center line-up, though with Carlton and Springs, I'm not sure it's necessary.

Doen’t look like a 5 , more stretch 4 Insurance for Akok.
He is big but skinny as heck , he also moves and shoots like a three.
You grab him if you can . His combination of size, handle and shooting are rare.

Remember Amida Brimah came in as a project his freshman year and he was a huge piece to our run to a 4th title. With Akok out for probably half of next season having another shot blocking big will be huge. Then when Akok joins in that team could be terrifying. Long athletic shot blockers and skilled guards. Next year could be at least a sweet 16 run.

Akok is gone doe all of next year

Did they say that before or after he transferred out? Timing often matters with stuff like that. We signed him? He’s the best! He left? Complete trash.

*not a shot at Rhody fans. I like a lot I’ve encountered, but it’s definitely a tendency of some fans.

It's the tendency of about 95% of this board as well

Of course. By “some fans” I meant most fans. I was trying to be nice.

See he looks the part as a stretch 4. Not sure if he plays defense but would if he came to UConn that's for sure otherwise he won't play.

 

[UConnStats]

He has impressive fluidity for his height, but he hasn’t put it all together yet.

He'd probably do a better job creating his own shot than our current 4s, but his 3 point shot is still a liability, and who knows about his defense.

 

[husky429]

Not particularly wowed. Especially if he can't shoot or block shots. Less than 1 block per game?? No thanks. Staff may be seeing some we don't though--who knows

I was going to watch the juco video but it blinded me after 7 seconds.
