Weekly Recruiting Update, 10/28
|Class of 2014:
JaQuan Lyle (PG): He stated this about his trip to UConn and where UConn stands in his recruitment, “The UConn trip was real good. I loved that visit and I love Coach Ollie and that coaching staff. I got to see the campus and overall it was a great visit. With them getting another guard commitment that isn’t a problem. They have a lot of wing type guards right now, and they could see me coming in and handling the basketball and running the one a lot. Rodney Purvis isn’t a true one, and then Daniel Hamilton is a wing, and Sam Cassell Jr isn’t a true one either, so I could come in and handle the ball.” Per Scout.
