Week of 11/20 Other Games

I'm keeping my eye on 6'11 JP Estrella for TN who is not an impact player at the moment. I have no idea if there is a remote chance he enters the portal in a future year, but there is some UConn connections. He is from Maine, and was Solo Ball's roommate at Brewster. His mom, (that I've met), was on a women's BC team that beat the UConn women once back in the day. She is great friends with Shea Ralph and follows UConn women closely. Wouldn't be a stretch to become involved if the opportunity ever arose.

I don’t follow recruiting closely but he didn’t seem to be even remotely interested in us or am I misremembering? Bizarre choice in TN like a few have said.

Sean Jones really is the quickest dude in the country, Shaka wasn't lying.

 

[HuskyHawk]

KU is rattled. So sloppy. Especially when Harris is out.

How did this guy slip through the cracks?

 

[superjohn]

It's so ridiculous how ESPN keeps saying you may not have seen Marquette and probably know nothing about them. You may not have seen Kolek etc.

They won the Big East last year, Kolek was Big East player of the year, preseason all-American, they were a 2 seed, and they're #4 in the nation.

Dude has the same lefty shooting motion as Solo, same Euro step, he even looks like him from far away.

Also from the DMV area

 

[HooperScooper]

Timberlake is a complete disaster. His +/- has to be truly awful.

But he does have a decent sized savings account balance.

 

[Kolumbo]

SU has become so irrelevant it's not even fun watching them lament on their board anymore. Condolences

ESPN is basically the ACC network. I don't think they care or promote the big east at all

Remember when they were considered a rival?

 

[Samoo]

But he does have a decent sized savings account balance.

His credit score is over 800.

 

[aceboon]

I can already see Ighodaro somehow winding up on an NBA team like the Nuggets, Heat or Warriors

 

[superjohn]

Kolek's passing with both hands is pretty incredible.

 

[Jumpman62114]

Marquette looks good. Flying around on D, high level quickness and playmaking on offense.

 

[AntG168]

Marquette is so much better than Kansas lol. Should be fun at KU

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

KU has no shooters and looks soft as heck

A lot of game left.

Sean Jones really is the quickest dude in the country, Shaka wasn't lying.

He jumped out last year, but he had a lot of knucklehead plays last year, too, especially on offense. And he still can't really shoot. But he fits their style really well.

 

[AntG168]

A lot of game left.

Yes. But KU is extremely flawed. We have to end the practice of overrating teams that can’t shoot. It’s 2023. Self can be an equalizer though. So I’ll hold off judgement

 

[aceboon]

Hard as hell to run offense against this Marquette D.

 

[superjohn]

Marquette still missing everything from outside, it's keeping KU in the game. A little push from them here and knocking down a couple and they can make this a 20 point game.

Minimal interest it seems.

JP Estrella Impresses at NBA Top 100 Camp

“I have already visited Marquette and Tennessee, and will be doing Iowa and Duke,” he said. “I also have an unofficial to UConn.” UConn: “They love my ability to get up and down, and that I have a soft touch in the paint. They also like that I can be in the pick and pop situation as well.”

Interesting. Anyone know anything about this kid?

FYI all the Maui teams have shot horribly this tournament The sightlines must be horrendous. The tournament average is 26% so far. So Marquette shooting has not been good, but has been pretty par for the course.

 

[AntG168]

Marquette throwing up a lot of bricks
