Perhaps rumor, but it’s being stated that UConn is hiring Dre’s high school coach??? Do I get one guess where that rumor came from Your guess would probably be right. Certainly hope it’s bogus.

Has Dre given a time frame for his commitment? We picked up another CB vote today.

Dre is such an absurd athlete. I'm not sure what to make of his game, because he absolutely cannot score outside of about 10 feet, but he would 100% be the best athlete I've ever seen playing for Syracuse basketball. When I saw him at EYBL, oh my god. He had a few dunks that were just other-wordly. The closest comparison I can think of is Hami Diallo.

Maybe the lack of an outside shot is what’s keeping the blue bloods from offering. That could be a blessing in disguise because I think there’s plenty time to develop his outside shooting. If he’s on a team that has lots of other guys who can shoot (JG3, Buddy, etc), it will help reduce the need for him to contribute on the perimeter. He can play a role like a Stevie Thompson perhaps? Because if he’s as athletic as Hami, I want him on our team. Hami was a second round draft pick, and he’s going to stick in the league. Please commit to Syracuse Andre!!!

The Hami comparison seems pretty fair. Andre seems more slender while Hami was a more sudden/explosive guy with a little more burst, IMO. But it’s fair. Hami also was an excellent defender in their M2M. Boeheim says you don’t get drafted because of defense? Baloney, lol. This kid did. He couldn’t shoot at all at the beginning of the year but improved to 34% from 3 by the end of the year. Players DO improve under Calipari. WCS is another example. Eric Bledsoe too. That’s a common myth out there especially perpetuated by the homers on the other board.

If Andre’s top priority is a great strength and conditioning program I’m surprised we are the favorite to land him. 😜
