Moose:

Haven't. Asked another LI based poster who knows people out there and he hasn't seen him either but heard he will blow up very soon.

Well we certainly need more size for 2012 and this kid is 6'9" and a local kid.

Didn't realize as the thread was 2012 forum. Thanks moose.

sounds like we need to move this to 2013 recruiting

Saw him go up against Jordan washington's team tonight. He's every inch of 6'8 but about 185 soaking wet, decent feel around the basket. Finished well but didn't finish strong, still raw. didn't display much of a game past about 12 feet. His team won by about 15 but Jordan Washington still went for 30 against him and the rest of his front court mates. They didn't have an answer for him which is pretty scary/ sad because he's terribly out of shape and didn't cross half court a lot of times down due to fatigue. The scary part to that equation is if he did that in terrible shape what happens when he's focused and mobile.
-
Has upside. He's going to be one of those guys who could blow up late. Right now I'd say he's still an under the radar guy but someone definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Hey moose there Is a more overrated player than Isaiah Lewis

Chileb. The kid is brand new to basketball and a beanpole. .. But he is a legit 6'9 and really young. It's possible he could get better.

He could but he has a longgg way to go. Kid can't hold on to the ball for his life and falls to the floor if you blow on him. Very uncoordinated and dosent play above the rim. If he was a freshman than maybe but he's a rising senior not so sure how much he's got left in the storage

Here are some highlights-
"Coming to New York was like being thrown into the fire," Facey told Panther-Lair.com. "The intensity was at a whole different level. The speed of the game was the biggest adjustment for me.
"There are a lot of elite forwards in 2013 and I think I am right there with the best of them. I think my athleticism sets me apart but I need to get stronger and continue to get comfortable with basketball over here."
The move to New York has brought more interest to Facey, and Connecticut sent a message when the Huskies offered him a scholarship, joining St. John's, Miami, Hofstra, Florida, Drexel, Rhode Island, and Stony Brook.
"Some other schools have shown interest, like Pitt. They reached out to us and let it be known that they want to recruit me. I think Pitt would be a good look for me, especially with their move to the ACC.
"I know Pitt's players play tough and get after it. I think that is essential in developing at the next level. So I am definitely interested in Pitt. I would like to visit Pitt. I don't know about officials or anything yet because I have only seen Drexel unofficially. I am just focused on getting better and then worrying about visits. Pitt would be a good look though."

Most uncoordinated kid in 2013 no thanks.

Kenton Facy (The Rens 2013) – Facy holds offers from Connecticut, Florida, St. John’s, Drexel, and Rhode Island with interest from USC and Colorado. He is in no hurry and is not really thinking about the process until after the summer season. He hopes to narrow down a list so that he can decide on a school and sign in the fall.

Yeah and there are three other guys visiting Prov. Writers on internet all seem to feel confused, some noting this is a quiet period and no unofficials / officials allowed. Oh, the clarity of the NCAA!

While Facey has a full schedule playing with the New Rens this summer, Coach Meminger said that he also has a full slate of unofficial visits coming during the first and second weeks of August. "He's going to visit Virginia Tech, St. John's, UConn and Duquesne," Meminger said.

I saw him 3 times in the fall. His best skill at that time to me was his motor, he was very active and hustled his butt off. However in the midst of that he gave up 35 points to a out of shape Jordan Washington and was easily moved off the block by heavier forwards with ease. His hands were terrible and was very unorthodox anytime he put the ball on the floor trying to lead the break, stumbling over his on feet and turning over on the outlet passes. Finishing around the basket in traffic was difficult for him as well. As of now that all might have changed, he's a high energy guy with bounce and length. Just needed to add weight and skill.

“He had a couple of offers from St. John’s and Connecticut, but I’m not sure it was concrete,” Memminger said. “They offered him based on potential. He went from Atlantic 10 and schools like Marist and Drexel to strictly high majors now.”
“Everyone offered in the Big East and Atlantic 10, plus Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, USC and UCLA,” he said. “Kentucky watched him in Indy. Calipari is coming to see him in Philly and in Las Vegas.”

Facey can only hope to be as good as Milsap.. First step is gaining some weight.. He probably weighs like one of Milsap's legs.

Biancardi in Orlando on ESPNU just noted Facey has been a huge developing player this off season. Amazing the props he has been receiving.

Facey sat out most of last week, he's still super skinny but he's solid player. He had 5 blocks on one possession which was pretty sick, caught it on video too.

Dave, my impression is staff must have some degree of confidence about getting Martin or Lawrence. Assuming they are not going hard after Facey, should they be, as a fall back position? Competition for Lawrence and Martin seems fierce. Thanks!

Don't forget Mike Young too. He still seems to be on the radar even though he is probably a longshot.

As you have noted many times, Pitt seems set with him. I don't believe staff is actively pursuing him.

Other fish in the sea better than Facey. Personally I think he is getting over recruited but like I said back in the winter he had the potential to blow up late.
-
Will be interesting to see where his recruitment ends up.
In other words we are soon going to find out how many of these "offers" are real and tangible and the interest from those schools matches the offer.

Dave, my impression is staff must have some degree of confidence about getting Martin or Lawrence. Assuming they are not going hard after Facey, should they be, as a fall back position? Competition for Lawrence and Martin seems fierce. Thanks!
Other fish in the sea better than Facey. Personally I think he is getting over recruited but like I said back in the winter he had the potential to blow up late.
Saw Facey yesterday, I came away unimpressed

You can see he is a good athlete and I know he has only played the game a little while but I think our system would be too fast for him,

3 blocks in a row? I counted 5 or 6!

And to think just a few years ago he probably would be our star recruit! :)

Still so new to the game. Tremendous raw potential though. I like him and think he could be something with a little time and patience.. Unfortunately we do not have enough ships in '13 to wait on a kid like this to develop.. If he is smart he goes to a Rhode Island or Umass type school where he can excel a lot quicker.

Quicker isn't always better. Might be better off at a school LIKE SJU, where he can get developed over 2 or three years by a coach like Rico, and be ready to contribute meaningfully as a Jr or Sr. A lot of minutes and even decent statas a a UMass type school doesn't necessarily indicate superior development. A lot of "stat boys" from the mid-range schools don't make it at the next level. They've got a scrapbook of college clippings and maybe a well-stamped passport, while big school project guys like a Ryan Hollins are cashing 2-3 million dollar NBA paychecks 6 years after graduation...

He would play right away for those schools. Maybe he gets better development here.. But I'm sure he ( like every other kid) wants to play ASAP . I like Facey.. But something would be very wrong if he was the only kid we picked up for '13
-
Funny guys just recently seeing him are saying that his stock had risen a bit to high, had a convo with a coupLe guys today that being overrated is a fair assessment and he will be exposed if he chooses to go to one of these high major schools. Still waiting to see him again , anxious to see what all the buzz is about

Another guy committing to Uconn who didn't meet the coach?

His Scout profile reminds me of the level talent that Norm Roberts brought in.

Well he's ranked 99 in some most recent rankings. Guys bloom late. Especially big men. Especially big men from another country who haven't been playing basketball long.

Well if you believe all of the so called "offers" he was receiving this summer you would have to believe he is more then capable to play at the Big East level. I am not sure I believe they all were solid offers but clearly his recruiting picked up.

I could care less about the commitment, if anything I feel like we dodged a bullet. But what's going on at uconn where kids are committing to play for a 70 yr old Calhoun. Despite him not even being there. You would think a kid who just blew up would wanna enjoy the process and visit every school but instead he pops on the first visit. What in the world is going on at uconn?!???

Winning those championships and all the kids playing in NBA may trump losing Calhoun in near future IMO. BTW;

Watching an improved Kenton facey added muscle more coordination , some potential there

Watched him and Chris Atkinson on Saturday night late and Facey absolutely stunk. He should be dominating on Long Island .

Good but not good enough right now IMO. I really like him because he can shoot it and is slippery with the ball... But he is realllyyyyy small.

We payed them earlier in the year, Atkinson played ok...decent and Kenton did nothing , he had flashes but for the most part did nothing, the kid Tim quashie and Ryan Boyd handed it to us though

I assume private schools require kids to take four years of everything important, so it should literally take the NCAA 10 minutes to rule on it. Which means they'll let him know in April.

Only saw him play once so a very small sample but have to say I really was left wondering what everyone saw in him.

How old is he?

Sounds like he could be 21.
