Which 7 footer do you want?

[husky99]

I go with who ever signs 1st

 

[JimHurley]

Whoever signs 1st but I prefer Zach Brown

We could be like the sixers and get 5 of them on the team and play 5

 

[Peacefrog]

Does Marc Suhr have any eligibility left?

Does Marc Suhr have any eligibility left?

His kid - who's a 7-footer - stopped by practice a couple of years ago and played a bit. I think he was 15 or 16 at the time.

How about Dan Cyrulik? I would take either but I like Brown a little better.

When I was in high school I never saw a 7 footer (or 6'10"+) on a basketball court. Now they are popping up all over the place.

Something is in that damn food I tell you.

Brown

Either in a new york minute.

Yeah, but all five would have to have serious medical issues.

I guess Zach didn't feel like boxing out on the day that video was made

What do I know, but personally, I like this kid. Samuel Japhet-Mathias. Playing at VT Academy. We're 50% on his Crystal Ball according to 24/7. 6'10" 290 lbs. Lot of athletic bigs like Billy Preston and Brandon McCoy, but I would much prefer a real big man who can throw around his size in the paint and just get boards and easy drop in buckets over a big who wants to shoot 18 footers. Like this kids game. Even tho it goes against what I just said, I do like Mohamed Bamba a lot too.

Zach Brown, he's a UConn kid.

 

[UConNick]

You mean we may actually have a choice????

On a serious note, I lean more towards Brown because we have been on him for a very long time already, and he's got a bevy of connections that KO can work with.

Hey, let's take both and put up a twin towers look at times. Hard to tell much from a highlight video, but I thought that Obiagu looked like he runs well and may be the more conditioned or athletic at this point. Zach used his left hand well and might be the more skilled at this point. Who knows, but both look like awesome prospects.

 

[sledog]

What is prob of getting 1 or both??

 

[BearJWS]

We really can't go wrong here. Here's what I'd "want", but I can't always get what I want.
<Insert Rolling Stones song here>

Z. Brown to reclassify to 2016. Not saying this will happen, but it could be possible since he repeated 8th grade & has reportedly had very good grades since then. Reclassifying back to a kid's original class has been popular lately. Not sure it's a realistic option with Zach, but this is my "want" scenario.... sorry!!

Then come 2017 I. Obiagu joins the UConn team. Would be nice to see them staggered. (again "want" scenario). He will be an elite shock blocker & defender in college. We've seen this before.

Assuming both stay in the 2017, they are both completely different players.

Zach is the better offensive player. Better touch, not very athletic, but a better offensive skill set.
Ikey is the better defensive player. Better defender, very athletic, but limited offensive skills.
Pick your poison. Can't go wrong here...

 

[MexicoHusky]

I like ikey because of his lesser offensive ability. Looking for a mobile shot blocker. The guards will do the scoring.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Ikey also looks more athletic. I like that.

Both seems unlikely.

Unlikely?

I live in Vermont in Bellows Falls, which is next town over from where Vermont Academy is located (Saxton's River)- I'll have to check out their games this year- it takes all of 5 minutes to get there from my house!

Just read something that he transferred to IMG in Florida I believe.
