KAEO Unique McLean (2016)

No major program is gonna recruit a kid based on a highlight reel dunk

I know one guy that might....

[baseline47]

The kid has hops! Eldon, where's your highlight film? At least you played which is more than I can say!

Might as well add to all the lousy news we are getting recently. New England Recruiting Report has posted that Unique will NOT be returning to MacDuffie this year. Maybe it's nothing, but right now not much is going well for us. This news, the injury news and the Pipkins eligibility issue are getting me very down.

^ Come on . . . if we didn't have Bad News we would have NO news at all!

[69MG]

I'm feeling better now. Unique retweeted at DK tweet a couple of days ago about what a beautiful day it was at UMass. Also, he's going back to his former school.

@RIAFFILIATED: Lincoln's Paul "Pj" Person 2018 is transferring to Hoosac to Join (UMass Commit) Unique Mclean !!! Tough backcourt

[TheInsider]

Well I guess that confirms he was thrown out of school.

[NilesGold]

^ Actually it doesn't.

[TheInsider]

No.. it pretty much does. Maybe Offseason was right and they were going to let him back. But he was probably already gone at that point. I'd rather think that than he left because he was going to ride the pine.

[NilesGold]

^ Everything is rumors and guesses at this point.

Been reading up more on Unique lately as he seems to not be talked about as much as our other 3. He is an excellent player and has a real chance to excell in the A-10. If we do end up getting Brown, Unique is the perfect fit for the high energy 6th man.

From all accounts its quite possible that he could be the best HS dunker in the entire country. I LOVE the ability for the 6th man to get the team and crowd going with huge highlight plays. (very similar to maxie prior to senior year)

[natwam2547]

^ I agree that he's going to be quite the asset off the bench. I see Zach Lewis as being the 6th man in '16. Just come off the bench firing three's at will.

[eldonabe]

I hate to say this as it is a maddening thought, but we really need a shooter with no conscious like Jimmy Life. We have had some who thought they had that quality but none quite like Jimmy. Harris was close but there was still something extra special about Jimmy's gunslinger mentality.

[uz2b-len]

I would be extremely content with the second coming of Ricky Harris.

[capezona]

^ As would I. Harris had an almost identical 3 pt percentage as Life and put them up at about the same pace but was more multidimensional. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching Life play and thought he did really well but I would take Harris in a heartbeat.

[eldonabe]

We could be splitting hairs I suppose, but I always like Jimmy's swagger - I would take either in a heartbeat, but if you held a gun to my head and forced me to pick one, that swagger thing is my tiebreaker.
