So we added a dynamite recruiter in Coach Chill and we have a hungry KO so I think they will close strong like they did with Gibbs and Miller a few springs ago.
Interested to hear thoughts on some names and how you would allot them as a lot of outstanding players are in play, from the areas below
. ***Disclaimer: I watch every UConn game and most UCF games (local here) & no other games outside NCAAs so I don't know who is good/fits etc.) ***
But I love this time of year! This is the time of the year we get 'Meka, CV and many others and two years ago Miller and Gibbs.
Who is available in these groupings that we have a shot at?
1. JUCOS - The nation's #1 player is at a position of need (Juiston)
2. Grad Transfer - Lot of terrific ones and we've had success with them
3. Transfers that have to sit a year - Some very good ones here as well like Dickerson, Morrow & others
4. Reclassifiers - Kids like Eric Ayala
5. HS Seniors - Coaching carousel has opened up a lot from Indiana, Washington, Cal, NC State, et al
6. Foreign players - Like that Jay Ajayi guy from France or obviously any German would do!
1. Center - I think even on the Boneyard we could agree our biggest need would be a 5. I don't trust Cobb at all but am hopeful the staff found a gem. (We are overdue for a gem for sure) To me, Carlton comes from an amazing HS program and will likely be a good player but I would like to see us add a grad transfer like East Carolina did with Washington last year. What is out there as of yet? Any others likely to be opening up?
2. Wing Scorer - Like many of you, Vital is my favorite Husky but I think we need more here. I think we will play a ton of 3G lineups so this could be a combo guard or a 2/3 in a perfect world. What is out there? With Larrier coming back from a major injury this is a big area of need.
3. Big Transfer - If there is a kid that wants to come like Dickerson or the Nebraska kid I might take them and eat that ship so to speak for a year.
4. Another guard - If a tremendous one opens up like the kid from Washington - you take him. Jalen is probably only here one more year and I think Alterique can be an all-time Husky if he can stay healthy but that's a big if right now.
There might be a better way to allot them, interested in hearing players to start following the newscycle on (outside that Rice guy that two or three of you guys have that a mancrush on). The Diarra kid from Washington intrigues me, esp. the motor and character part, but not sure how he fits. I'm not sure the Diarra we have will ever be able to play, anyone know if he will be good to go and sort of out of the woods or is this a forever thing to worry about?
Regardless, I don't want to have 2-3 open spots and I'm sure KO has learned his lesson on that one. Should be an exciting time!
