2022 Recruiting: Corey Floyd Highlights

[Psolo12]

This boy is built like a brick $h!thouse. A man amongst boys.

 

[Mr. French]

I like this cat A LOT.

I must say, especially in 2021 and 2022, the types of kids we're recruiting and reeling in has me super excited. Forget the rankings. I love the direction of the roster.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Kid looks like a player. kinda reminds me of Rodney Purvis. Think he will develop me better.

 

[Kenny11]

I love how after the first dunk, Corey almost body slams his teammate that just came to celebrate.

 

[BoukofJames]

A couple of slick dishes in this video too — nice.

He's 16-17 lol can't wait to see him at 19-20. Shredded

 

[Huskyforlife]

We need a petition for the headband, killer look.

 

[Mr. French]

I called my 8 month old "Corey Floyd, Jr." today because he was looking like a beast.

 

[auror]

Teach this man how to post up guards, Villanova-style, please.

 

[uconngb]

All you gotta do is put him up against RJ in practice

Can we give Hawkins a QBs red shirt for practice? Floyd is going to break our best shooter if he is catching bodies like that

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

Reminds me a lot of Jared Terrell from Hurley’s URI teams

 

[Umami Zen]

This summer's AAU experience is huge for Corey's development in prep for UConn/BE play

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Admiral Scofield vibes.

 

[Watchdog]

Too bad we weren't able to recruit a top 100 guard for 2022...............

 

[RichZ]

This young man has tremendous ball and body control. In a highlight reel filled with speed and direction changes, many in traffic, I noted two travels/carries -- in the strictest sense, and one of those was questionable. And nothing that could remotely be called a charge.

In today's game, that's almost unheard of.

But can he play defense? Because if he can, he's like a guard version of Adama. Big and strong with moves.

Did I mention that I like this kid?

Future NBA player...and this UConn team finally has a lot of them like back in the day.

What's defense now a days. Shadow you man to the hoop or give up a wide open 3. My kids are like dad you play D like you are wearing those tight shorts in those videos you showed us. You have been asked not to come back to the court for 2 weeks.

 

[HuskyInfinity]

Am I the only one who feels like I keep watching better shooting Paul Harris highlights here ?

 

[imno1]

I just love this kid’s game. We usually don’t get a player coming in as physically mature as Corey. And he’s still really young. I can just imagine him with a year or 2 of college level S&C.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

So what's up with the ranking? People are calling this kid an NBA player so I'm curious why he can't break into the top 100.

For people that actually know something about recruiting I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. I'm not interested in a dopey "well, he committed to UConn - if he was going to Duke he'd be top 20."

I DM'd with a national recruiting guy the other week. Says that Corey will still be in the 100-150 range after their next update because 1) size. He's basically a 6'3 small forward. 2) His shooting is suspect. 3) 1v1 shot creating, he doesn't necessarily know how to shoot off the dribble and is easy to guard in iso situations.

So the “better” BA comps are fair

I would agree with that. IMO his recruitment shows that we're recognizing the need for role players, and elevating the type of role players that we're bringing in. No more Jumpman, or guards that are going to take 2 years before they can even touch the floor without being a liability.

There's a lot of hyperbole about his game on here, and I've definitely been a part of that. I think he stands a chance of being a really, really good player for us. But more likely he's a solid team guy and a foundational piece that plays within a team concept. The kind of guy you need on top-10 teams to complement your stars.

Sounds like someone who will excel with talent around him.
