He made Thon Maker look stupid biting on the layup fake.

His innate ability to penetrate would compliment Bailey's game a lot too...

And Larrier, and Enoch, and Diarra and...

Don't look at ESPN. Look more at Rivals/Scout/247Sports. Those are all updated more often.

I thing that matters is the size of this kids heart. If he has a heart like Boat he will do great things. Forget wingspan, etc. , he looks like the real deal to me.

Bazz was the business.

Should take Texas out of the running, although recent comments by Gilbert had already suggested that.

UConn and Louisville? Any idea when he wants to decide?

That is what it seems like. A couple recent interviews said he hopes to decide by the end of August, early September.

Love the quickness on this kid an absolute waterbug with a lightning change of direction and crossover. Not really a must get but man he would look great in a UC uni.

Definitely a must get for 2016.

 

[JimHurley]

This kid is a UConn guard. Lock. Him. Up.

What factors do you think itll come down to if it is between us and 'ville?

Kevin Ollie and his NBA experience will be a major factor I think. Gilbert has mentioned that in the past.

Well it seems we are the only team to have Ollie if I'm correct.

FWIW a pretty connected guy over on Rivals says AG is committing on the 4th. I guess we'll see.

To us?

 

[Yankees32123]

Great, now I'm going to be spending the 4th constantly refreshing Twitter/boneyard.

Louisville has started to recruit Bruce Brown, who is marketing himself as a combo guard. Perhaps connected?

 

[tcf15]

To us?

Yep.

 

[mauconnfan]

Yep.

Are you serious? C'mon tcf are we going to have fireworks on the BY this weekend?

 

[UConnTrumbull]

I think everyone in the state of CT will hear a collective roar if he commits to UConn during Independence Day festivities

I'm trying to hold back my excitement on him as I do not want to feel pain if he goes to the Ville or something. Love his game, LOVE it. I mean having seen the guys we've had in Kemba, Bazz and even Boat and now having Jalen can you actually imagine a backcourt of Adams and Gilbert?

Think it's only a matter of time, July 4th sounds like a perfect time.
