Kid is going to be legit. G knows how to locate talent. He would have been perfect for us.
G must be crying watching this kid. Life of the coach.

An article today in the Hartford Courant on Brimah. Great shot blocker. Challenged offensively. Interesting paragraph from the article ="A handful of schools had shown interest, like Georgetown (according to Brimah), South Carolina, Florida International." No mention of LaSalle.

G always says you only talk about the players you get and not the ones you don't. I sure hope we can land some good talented big man. We need some who are athletic. If G can do this our team will be set for a couple of years.

Ummm ... no points in his final game of the season? Wow. I imagine he totally regrets passing on La Salle now, huh?

See the post above where Brimah indicates that LaSalle was not in his final list of schools - so why the regret comment? Stats for the Kentucky game - 13 minutes / zero points / 4 personal fouls. He struggled when he had the ball in his hands. Next year UConn has several big talented big men coming in. More that likely Brimah will remain a 10 minute a game spot/role player.

I hate when old posts are dug up from many months ago. The kid happened to be on the right team in the right year. This thread should prolly move to Other Discussions thread also.

Kromah played some good minutes and really helped the Huskies. Hope we can get a 6' 7" 5th year senior like that this year (as I noted in another post a few weeks ago). Really would fill a void from both an experience and positional standpoint. Anyone know what the good Doctor is up to?

Would you rather be a minimal contributor on a National Championship team or a big fish on a mid major team? Not a great example (because LaSalle did reach the Sweet 16 last year) but how many South Carolina fans will remember Ramone Galloway? How many LaSalle fans will. p.s. What ever happened to that guy who initially said Brimah was going to be legit?

This bump was meant to be sarcasm. If he has even a tiny little regret about being the ostensible 6th man on the national champ rather than ... possibly lower than the 6th man for us ... c'mon. This is awesome for Brimah and I figured this would be a way to note it.

And, Steve, this isn't an "other discussion" because we spent part of last recruiting season googling and checking this kid's twitter account daily. There's a connection to La Salle basketball with Brimah, very unlike McDermott.

Brimah is a game-changer. No way they win a title without him. The only people with a low opinion of him would be folks who only watched the championship game

I have no idea how close or not close we ever were to getting him, but the idea of rotating him, Zack and Wright through the big spots with our set of G/SF types is insane.

According to various tweets, he is having shoulder surgery and will be recovering for 4-5 months. I hope for a successful surgery and rehab.

Just checked the box score following UConn's loss to Texas yesterday. Mr. Brimah played 30 minutes - 1 for 7 from the field for 4 points and 2 rebounds.

Texas has one of the biggest front courts in the nation, I'd still take this dude in a heartbeat. Not to mention Jerrell with what? 7 turnovers vs. UVA. Everyone has their down games. Brimah did play against one of the best front courts... he's still a presence inside and very talented. Let's take it easy with looking at just one game that happened to be vs. the #7 team in the country.

Brimah is getting looks from the Pros. They just had a story on him and why the Pros love him. Kid helped UCONN win a national title as a freshman. Not the main guy but played his part and played it well. He is a game changer defensively, not sure how anyone questions why he was a big miss for us.
I would love to have him protecting the rim for us and maybe save us 8-10 points given up a night.

not very skilled offensively it looks, but the fact that he's blocking 3 shots a game which makes him very effective and a good rim protector

Dropped 40 on Coppin State. Faces Duke's Okafor this week. Should be an interesting test for the young man.
