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
Incoming UConn freshman Colben Landrew in the opening game of the #U18AmeriCup vs Argentina🔥

@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.
@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.
@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
@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
@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.
