@TUCO187187 @signumitch The real video I’m pretty sure he’s throwing like 70-72 topping 73😭😭

[Jamie Shaw @JamieShaw5]

It’s been 2 games for USA Basketball in the FIBA U18 Americup 🇺🇸

The 3 best players for me…

Quentin Coleman (Illinois)
Adan Diggs (‘27)
Colben Landrew (UConn)

3 others who caught my eye…

Caleb Gaskins (Miami)
Bruce Branch III (BYU)
Davion Thompson (‘27)

@h1ggy34 UConn has only had two freshman go one and done in the Hurley era (2018-now) Like I said Landrew is an absolute dawg but he is 100% not coming in with the one and done attitude. Credit to you if I’m wrong, and I’ll admit my wrong if it happens, but I think he’ll be a solid 2 year

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

Give him a year to develop and he’ll be elite year 2. Could still make a nice impact next year as well.

@h1ggy34 We’re not talking about any of them. Only about Mullins and Landrew. Mullins was a better player in HS. Doesn’t mean Landrew can’t be as good or better than him in college with good development.

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@h1ggy34 False. Braylon was a top 13-15 prospect. Landrew is ranked 25th. Top 30 on other websites

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@soxuconn Not worried about anything either. 8 points for team USA isn’t bad. I’m saying give him a year and he’ll be an AA

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@jtcarp1 Definitely not a one and done lock. He has the potential but we’ll see.

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@h1ggy34 Not yet lmfao😂😂

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@jfalch22 For some reason I thought you were talking about vital lol. Yeah Villanueva played at Blair. Blair is a really good program they normally send one or two kids d1 every year.

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

I’m really pumped about this one. 6’9 center who plays HS ball in NJ. Who does he remind you of??

Blessed to receive a Division 1 offer from The University of Connecticut!

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@jfalch22 Vital went to St Thomas More in Oakdale. Only guy who went to the league from Cheshire was Fran Garcia who played for the Kings. Cheshire’s more of a football school. Not very well known for hoops

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@jfalch22 He’s from Poughkeepsie. Only came to CT for 2 years to play at Cheshire, so you’re right on that part. But he goes to Blair Academy in Jersey now

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@CooxhKnowsBall His brother will be gone by the time he gets there. Won’t have as much of an impact as you think.

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@CreighTakes Isaac Traudt was better out of HS imo. Braden Frager too but that one’s more debatable.

[CT Hoops @cthoops2]

@CreighTakes Braden*

@kentuckyfan32 There was a whole issue last year with him. Bad attitude, NIL chaser. Definitely not a Kentucky worthy player especially after the numbers he just put up at ole miss.
