Diamond Stone tells me that he's taking an unofficial visit to Connecticut with Malik Newman this weekend.

EDIT: Scratch that, I suppose...

FYI: Malik Newman tells me he is not going on an unofficial visit to UConn this weekend w/ Diamond Stone. Already has a previous obligation.

Let's gooooo. Imagine them playing with terrence, d-ham, rodney, and Brimah?

 

[James]

Newman hasn't even left his home state for a visit, this is the first time. Stone had made visits to SMU and Michigan, neither of which are seriously in the hunt for this package deal.

 

[tcf15]

Don't look now, but there's a crystal ball pick in UConn's favor for Diamond Stone.

 

[superjohn]

Nolan is buddies with Stone, wonder if he has anything planned for them.

 

[UConNick]

Absolutely huge. Love to land them, but the fact that they are considering us seriously in itself greatly helps recruiting. That being said, I WANT THEM. Add these two to Turtle, bring in Enoch, then add another guard/wing (Adams, Ali, Briscoe, Jones). Could be the best recruiting class (on paper) UConn has ever landed. Go KO!!!!!!

EDIT: First visit they've taken as a tandem I believe? And above scenario takes into consideration someone will leave (D Ham, Purvis) or Transfer. Either way, KO is doing an unbelievable job in 2015.

4 is the size of the 2015 class, so unless Enoch reassigns for 2016, a class of Newman, Stone, Enoch and Jackson is about it.

Just saw Someone post on twitter that Newman has a prior commitment and will not be able to visit

 

[superjohn]

sonofa, car trouble?

Now rated number #1 by Scout.

We have a new No. 1 in our 2015 top 100. Diamond Stone now sits in the pole position.

 

[RayRay19]

Holy hell...package deal 2 top 3 players...wow

 

[BankShot]

So the 2015 starting 5 could be:

Purvis - Newman - Hamilton - Stone - Brimah with Samuel, Cassell Jr, Jackson, Facey, Lubin coming off the bench

Wow, "strive for five!"

 

[Tampahusky]

I really like our chances with both of them. Ollie should show them their personal locker in the new Champions Center when they come.

 

[Dynasty]

So the 2015 starting 5 could be:
A
Purvis - Newman - Hamilton - Stone - Brimah with Samuel, Cassell Jr, Jackson, Facey, Lubin coming off the bench

Wow, "strive for five!"

Actually that would be "Fix for Six".

 

[amory]

It'd be so awesome if these guys end up as Huskies, but a package deal for 2 of the top 5 2015 recruits?

Seems like this situation has "Calipari" written all over it...

 

[husky99]

I hope no car problem s. Beautiful weather planned

 

[Final4 42]

Edit- My bad already posted. Bummer but expected, recruiting is never cleanly reported.

 

[Kembacity]

Hey guys, I heard Newman isn't visiting, BREAKING NEWS!!! haha

...NEWMAN!

He had to drive some mail trucks to michigan for the bottle deposits

I have to say, nothing gets things wrong faster and with greater efficiency than Twitter.

Congress has got to at least be a close second.

It is really hard to fathom a top-ranked overall kid would consider us. Kid must have solid character. Seems like guys like Calipari, Barnes, Roy Williams usually get these types. I think with KO we could see a shift if we can keep the momentum going. Regardless, we are UConn, we will be fine because KO is cut from JC's cloth and both great evaluators!
