Brimah's performances over the summer even drew rave reviews from ESPN's Reggie Rankin.

“[Amida] is new to the game but has made tremendous strides in a short time. He's an extra-long and very athletic big man with a great motor,” Rankin said. “He runs the floor like a guard and sustains his effort for the entire game. If he continues to improve at the rate he has over the past six months – watch out. His upside is tremendous and he is a true sleeper.”

Apparently, he was playing behind Malik Price-Martin (4* on Rivals) last year, so he didn't get much playing time. Hoping we got a steal.

“You could always see the raw potential there,” Hernandez said. “He's always been able to block shots and run the floor, and do a lot of great physical things – but now he's raising his basketball IQ and really learning the game. That's the major thing we've been working on with him. Developing a refined post game, finding a go-to move, and learning the little nuances of the game. The sky is the limit for him.”
Sounds like hes getting the right coaching and wants to be the best player he can be.

Gotta love that his HS coaches really seem to be stressing teaching him everything they can. Hopefully they encourage him to hit the weight room as well, but I have a feeling he will still be a rail thin guy when he gets to UCONN.

I have read that his wingspan is 7-6. That's in addition to all the good things you read about the kid.

Nice article thanks.
