Being reported on KSR that he announcing today. Anyone know what time?
Quaintance announcement time?
- Thread starter Wunky
- Start date
This just has a Kentucky commit feel and vibe to it IMHO. Not to mention, many “experts” are picking UK. Not sure what time. Gotta think it’ll be around our game time tonight maybe.
He will be Cat at noon today. He will dunking on fools for UK less than one year later.
I love a big who tries to dunk everything...ala Kenny WalkerHe will be Cat at noon today. He will dunking on fools for UK less than one year later.
Any chance he could be cleared to play in tonight's game?
If he commits he will be injured in the process and be out till at least January
Can he play PF? With Somto already signed to go with Boogie and Perry that would leave only a SF to complete this class.
Quaintance just picked up his second foul against Kansas.
After watching all the injuries and issues UK has been dealing with this year, it would be enough to make you gun-shy to sign on.
The poor little Mizzous
I know just what they'll do
Their mouths will hang open a minute or two,
Then the Mizzous down in Mizzouville will all cry BooHoo!

Per Adam Finkelstein:
Jayden Quaintance is one of the most naturally talented prospects in the country. He’s 6-foot-9 with massively long arms (7-foot-3-plus wingspan), vertical athleticism, a strong frame, good hands, soft touch, shooting potential, natural face-up skill, and signs of a passing instinct. He also runs the floor well and is a solid rebounder when he commits himself.
Offensively, he has all the natural tools to be a huge mismatch threat. He’s already a major lob and tip-dunk threat who dunks balls while still on his way up, and is equally dangerous out of the dunker spot. He’s intent on developing his shooting range and has the natural touch to do so, which will allow him to maximize floor-spacing in both directions. Consequently, he should be a very tough cover in ball-screen action, because he’s equally capable of rolling or popping. He can put the ball on the floor and attack opposing bigs off the dribble. He’s also a threat to out-run them from rim-to-rim and capable of both making tough catches in traffic and then absorbing contact. Long-term, he should even be someone who is difficult to double-team because of his natural passing ability.
Consistency and efficiency should be the primary objectives for Quaintance moving forward. His overall production can be streaky, often in correlation to his decision-making and shot-selection. He has a tendency to settle for jumpers and hasn’t yet fully grasped how his vast versatility should allow him easier shots, not tougher ones.
Defensively, his fundamentals, footwork, and overall awareness are going to need to be cleaned up, not unlike many talented youngsters, but there’s plenty of sheer tools to work with. His shot-blocking numbers were still solid during the recent grassroots season. He can close ground quickly for his size when closing out and also has the length and athleticism to stay in plays, even when getting caught in a bad angle.
He’s also extremely young for the class. He won’t turn 17 until July of 2024, meaning that while he reclassified up from his original graduating class of 2025, he is not one-and-done eligible in 2024 because of the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement.
Was posted earlier, you tube took it down. They took the stream address down also.

I thought I heard we were seventh nationally when Perry was added the other day. Anyone know what we are now?
Also how can this kid be 4th on 1 site and 16th or something on ESPN? I'm assuming this kid is still growing and on his way to being a 7 foot plus guy. I don't know much about him. Haven't been paying attention lately. But he looks like a good one.
Surely we get Richmond whose father played for Cal, have to imagine Knox whose brother played for Cal. Looking like a lot of freshman. I hope we keep a solid nucleus. Maybe Big Z too.
