This debate is kind of senseless when it comes to Diallo because he had all the same local connections. He was a prototypical KO recruit.....except for the top 10 status and Calipari interest.
I think that is why Abu and Diallo hurt so much when they chose different schools. Those guys had...
I guess what upsets me is that he could've recruited all his elite pals to come play at UConn. They would've all been together and helped write a new chapter for our program.
So not only did he have no intention of playing here..he's helping Calipari recruit....REALLY!?
I remember a while back there was a tweet by him saying he was going to Kentucky....then he said a friend had posted that on his twitter as a joke.....This might have been what he wanted all along....I believe he was stringing us along.....Hate Him
Noticed they have a new selfie session. Does that replace the autograph session? My daughter loves collecting the posters and autographs. Does anyone have any more info on this?
I'm convinced Chief is either some kind of trickster trying to get a rise out of people with his ridiculous post about things like first night and bunkey or he is some mentally disturbed individual who goes weeks without taking his meds
That said KO has had a great track record going up...
Can't believe this is the school that blocked our P5 membership because it didn't want any competition in New England. How's that working out? It probably would've done them some good to have us in conference with them. Now they have no competition at having the worse seasons in ACC history...
I sign in several times a day but rarely post. Been reading for years and only signed up after the Big East implosion.
Guess I was feeling a bit of anxiety for my team and really needed a place to go and express myself. Love this program in an unhealthyy way.
Pro potential is a huge factor when these sites make their evaluations. That's why so much great talent goes underated and I think that's part of what our staff zeroes in on. What player will be a good addition and who also might be a great player at the college level. Add that in with the pro...
KO to Gabriel :" I'll play you wherever I need you. 3-5...doesn't matter to me. I love to take advantage of mismatches. We're position less here. You'll be picking and popping and shaking things up. Trust me I know Jesus"
****kidding****
Maybe the real battle is between UConn / Kentucky and Squid knows it.
Squid to Gabriel: "If you go to UCONN they play small ball...they'll use you as a four....you should go with us...I recruit big...you can easily play on the perimeter because I won't need you as a big...they will....C'mon...
Based on that Zags article it looks like the Squid is gaining momentum. He talks about wanting to be a wing in college and that's the conversation he is having with Calipari "alot". KO wants to play him at the 4 and he doesn't sound interested.
Y'all need to understand UVA fans. They think UVA is both the greatest and the worst all at the same time. You can't put any stock in anything you read on a UVA board.
Lol...sounds eerily familiar.
At his core this is just who Calhoun is. It is all about LOYALTY. It's big in his worldview. That is why he went at BC hard and was particularly offended when Sir Charles called our conference the big least in 2011.
This man is a hero to me but I strongly disagree with him here. It is a new era...
Yeah your right. Still a little buzz from last night when I wrote that. It was meant to portray the schizophrenia we sometimes feel for recruits on this board. It was pretty bad.
F@$! Bruce Brown! Unless things change and he becomes a Husky...but...if he does...maybe he isn't that good or the P5 schools lost interest...or maybe it's because he's related to Jalen or maybe cause he's local....or....or
Never said power conference but our conference. Like it or not that's what it is. We should root and promote it as long as we're members. I don't love it but I love UConn. I get your point. Don't have rose colored glasses. I just don't see where talking down the conference gets us. I'm not...
I often wonder how many cbb sites have fans that give reasons why a recruit should not choose their school and relentlessly argue the point.
We are in the AAC. That's it. Whining won't change it. I don't believe it permanent but I know that it won't change by continually harping. The University...
KO is here to stay. I'm sure his statements are carefully worded per his agent. He is trying to make it as clear as possible without undercutting himself. This topic is officially dead. Time to move on.
Here we go again. We landed 2 top 50 recruits and are having trouble closing on guys who are strongly favored to stay local. Time for the BYders to start arguing about our conference. Really? With the exception of Stone (maybe) were not exactly competing with the top conferences for these guys...
I think at least two are still strong possibilities but if we do strike out its because they wanted to play closer to home. That's not a bad excuse. Our two commits are locals. Might be a trend.
I am still very excited about recruiting in the Ollie era. It's a process and the future looks...
It now seems every recruit talked about on the BY for 2015 is trending away from us. They got:
Briscoe at St Johns
Stone at Wisconsin
Mack at Georgia
Clarke at VT
Jones at UNLV
I know it's only speculation but prepare yourselves. It might be good MOJO or some...
