2024 Recruiting: Patrick Ngongba OV

[ScottCT]

I don't understand how providence is getting into all these elite recruits final lists. They haven't accomplished anything and wasn't it stated that their NIL was terrible?

Step #1 after the successful OV with Abraham

UConn: “I liked how involved with the practices the coaches are with the bigs. They had two coaches down there involved, guarding the players and taking them through the workouts. With Adama (Sanogo) and (Donovan) Clingan, seeing the centers that they’ve had recently plays a big role for me. Seeing what they can do for me individually helps with my decision a lot.”

Gotta capitalize on Sanogo and Clingan recent run to bring in more top bigs, this is the way

They're not seriously being considered.

Hopefully the rumors of a package deal with Isaiah Abraham are true, that leaves UConn and Providence

I thought they weren’t necessarily a package deal. Did I miss the rumors?

Even looking at Whaley, Hurley has down a fantastic job with bigs.

Just husky99 saying they were in the Abraham thread. My comment was mostly tongue in cheek, I don't really think it's a package deal, even if we do end up with both

Their coach is younger than Steph Curry and a cool guy.

You are much angrier since Cooley left you. Have you considered therapy? It might help you work through your feelings.

 

[Bazz4A]

I mean - you’re not seriously being considered, look at the schools up there, which one doesn’t belong? And we might not have a strong chance here, maybe close to zero - but we absolutely do not have the same chance as you do.

 

[M.S.G.]

PC fans are the best, the absolute best.

Never change, little boys

 

[runner11]

I get why PC fans hate us so much. English is going to pull in serious talent if he shows he can coach. He's already landed and retained some studs.

Might be why…

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Don't sleep on Coach English.

 

[Psolo12]

You're right, the Providence Friars have an equal chance to land a top recruit as the National Champion UConn Huskies. It's essentially a level playing field. Thank you for showing me the light.

 

[MrSec224]

Don't sleep on Coach English.

The key to recruiting for him will be …. Winning … which he didnt do a ton of at Mason. But we’ll see

Kim strikes me as a basketball version of Bob Diaco

Agreed. He's good for Providence, but he hasn't proven anything to a recruit other than being young and likeable.

His teams finished 9th and 5th in the conference. Call me when he's dominating every season like Hurley.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Out of curiosity, on the PC board are there any posters who go above and beyond in negative discussions when it comes to UConn? I don't know for a fact but I would wager that there are some that do.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

I wouldn't say "lies" about PC like the NIL comment (which was mentioned above by some poster as a question, not a statement...) are not treated as truths, rather no one here really cares enough to prove it right or wrong so they just carry on. That's what we have you here for

All gas no brakes for the Friar rage machine.

All gas no brakes for the Friar rage machine.

When your former coach solidifies you as a stepping stone program, the options are rage or depression.
