Kentucky commit Daimion Collins close to a triple double at halftime 8 points 8 rebounds 8 blocks 3 assists 2 steals but his team is losing 33-31.
The dude had a triple-double the other night with 10 blocks. Dam so that will make back-to-back games with one and each time one of the categories is blocks. Going to be nasty protecting the rim.
Collins finishes with 24 points 15 rebounds 15 blocks. His team wins 56-53.
Now those are the kind of impressive stats you want to see. His team needed every point, rebound, and block. Thats efficient(im sure theres a better word for this better I cant think of it)
That's what Oscar is for. Lethal combo in our frontcourt. Collins should be able to play an IJ role which is fine by me. IJ is killing it right now and we seem at our best when we have a rim protector out there most of the game.
Slow it down boys, what did BJ Boston and Terrance Clarke teach you about getting hyped about mixtapes/high school stat stuffing?
I’ll be the wet blanket here. Collins looked like me playing against my kids on a nerf hoop.
I drop triple-doubles on my kids every day.
Something to think about.

The stuff Collins is doing will translate to college no matter how skinny he is, jus like Nerlens, Jackson, Willie, etc. Boston and Clarke had to rely on shooting way more than in high school and neither were ready, also Boston was not nearly physically strong enough to get by guys and finish!
Yeah, I think Bigs and PGs generally translate best to college as freshmen. The shot-blocking, rebounding, ball-handling, and passing all carry over decently I think. Shooting, however, does not translate well that first year in college. So, if I were picking which positions I would rather my OAD guys come from, it would be the PFs/Cs (like Collins & Jackson) and PGs.
Even some of our guys who were really good shooters like Herro, Quickley, Knight, and Murray were mostly average three point shooters percentage wise their freshman year. Guys who come in and shoot 40+% from day one like Doron Lamb are the exception, not the rule.
Which is why I'm hoping for both a high level transfer 2G who has demonstrated the ability to shoot around 40% (I would like for Allen to stay at SF, particularly for offensive purposes), and a good shooting recruit (e.g., Podziemsky and another one if possible) to develop into an upperclassman so in the future we won't be so desperate for transfers to plug holes in the lineup.
I watched several of Boston’s live games . And he played against great competition.
Think the strength and speed of the college game was something he wasn't ready for immediately.
I hope he continues to have a great year and turns out to be a great player for UK. But I’m done getting excited about any recruit until they actually show me in a UK uniform.
