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?!???

I agree 100%

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

+2.  UCONN was his dream school, God Bless him.  Not in love with this kid anyway.

Tweet says a lot.

Exactly UCONN is still UCONN

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

Like what you did there choz.

“@AmoreCourant: Kevin Ollie says NCAA is examining Kentan Facey eligibility. Confident it will work out, but not sure. #uconnmen”

“@AmoreCourant: Kevin Ollie says NCAA is examining Kentan Facey eligibility. Confident it will work out, but not sure. #uconnmen”

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.

Familiar saga, hope this works out for him;
