He may have said that, but I'm not buying it. Article on 2 4 7 came out today where his AAU coach said the main schools involved are Louisville, Indiana, UCLA, Michigan and Arizona. I'll eat some major crow (and be happy to) if I'm wrong, but Prince and UConn are done.

I agree with you, I don't think we'll get him back. I was just questioning if there was something official I didn't know since it's still reported we're involved.

Take with a grain of salt...I have heard we stopped calling after he decommit

He may not be the "best" fit for the current system, but I'm sure Ollie would maximize his talents and abilities. IMO the offense would greatly benefit from an interior scoring presence. If he commands a double team down low then thats one less person on the perimeter to handle our guards. Him with a stretch 4 like Enoch would be a matchup nightmare for any defense. Checkmate.

No problem. Ollie will do what all coaches would do if we land Stone: adjust the offense to the talent.

Jalen Adams, 6’2”, PG, Cushing Academy (MA) 2015

Kevin Ollie should enjoy coaching the uber explosive Jalen Adams in Storrs. The talented point guard did not put up eye popping scoring numbers, but he did have several games with nine assists. Adams is a sight to see in the open court and can finish with the best of them. He has a good handle and first step which allows him to get in the lane almost at will. Defensively, Adams has great lateral movement and is a shot blocking threat on the break as he perfectly timed several lay-up attempts by opponents throughout the week.

@AdamZagoria: 6-10 Steve Enoch is done playing for July so he can rest his injured thigh and get to 100 percent. Coaches shouldn't travel to see him.

His should help us.
 
Enoch should commit soon. He is not going to get a "He Got Game" recruiting-type visit.

When Adams gets to UConn he is going to rival Brimah for best shot blocker on the team, which means he'll also be one of the best in the country.... as a 6'2" guard.

His next event is Big Strick which tcf mentioned right? Wanna see him up against Carlton Bragg, Diallo. and his rematch against Zimmerman.

Hope he does whats Adams did and commits soon. No point in stringing other teams along. Get the schollie when you can.

One of the best shot blockers in the country? Are we getting Jalen Adams or Paul Bunyan?

I'm excited to see what the kid can do in a UConn uniform, but now we're just getting a little crazy.

I'm partially joking, but the kid loves to trail opponents on the break and block their shots from behind. Watch his highlights.

I shouldn't hate on your Jalen Adams enthusiasm even if it's crazy.

It will be fun to watch him at UConn in 2015.
 
I think Jalen Adams is going to be at the Peach State Showcase this weekend.
 
I think Kevin Ollie is in Atlanta for the UAA Finals. Key targets there are Diamond Stone, Derrick Jones & Chance Comanche.

Anyone know if we're officially out of the running for Dwayne Bacon? I know we offered him last fall & I believe Ollie saw him a couple times this past week. Seems like Bacon is blowing up lately. He's now in many Top 25 rankings (5 Star - thou ESPN Top 40). His GF will be a freshman at GTown this fall, so I'm not sure if they are his "leader" right now.... but boy, he sure looks smooth & versatile in his recent videos. Scoring from deep, mid range, off the dribble, step backs, solid handle, passing, etc. He seems to play with a smile & swagger on his face, similar to Kemba did. I really like his game. Match up nightmare!

Here's a recent video of him from the Reebok Breakout Classic (other videos are equally impressive)

Zags did an article recently - Bacon didn't list us as the schools recruiting him as of late, seems headed elsewhere. Cutting his list after the July period, wouldn't expect to see UConn on that list.

Yeah Dwayne is throwing down two handed slams, and Kevin played like a 5 star David Lindhagen in Crazy Stupid Love. Talent everywhere.
 
“@CoachNeal: First time seeing Diamond Stone (Young Legends) and I can understand the hype. Talented big man is one of the top bigs in his class.”
 
Derrick Jones

“@OttoWorld365: 10pts and 7rbs for Derrick Jones in a win tonight.”

“@SteveJones_CJ: Not much update to speak of on 5-star wing Derrick Jones. No visits planned, no plans for a list cut”

“@coreyevans_10: Derrick Jones has continued to develop his outside 3 Skills have gotten better. High impact guy in 15 esp if he gains weight #UAAFINALS ”

“@hoopseen: Hard not to keep the way WeR1 WF Derrick Jones plays. Long, lanky and trouble for D. #UAAFinals”

“@BallersBridge: Video: 2015 We R1 F Derrick Jones is a versatile player. #UAAFINAL http://post original url/L1HtDU77Ve”
 
Diamond shines in opener: Diamond Stone is a consensus top-10 player in the 2015 class, with some recruiting analysts even believing he’s the top dog in the class. On Wednesday night, Stone had a solid start to the second week of July with a matchup against Doral Moore and Atlanta Xpress. Stone finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in the loss as he scored on a variety of mid-range jumpers and post touches.

If Stone struggled, it was because he was settling for too many jumpers and also dealing with length on the interior. The 6-foot-9 Stone had trouble finishing over the length of 7-footer Doral Moore, who registered five blocks on the night, including blocking Stone twice on one possession. But there’s still a lot to like about Stone. He owns a superior set of hands, he’s skilled on the block and also showed good touch on his jumper. He’s also an underrated passer, both in the half-court setting and as an outlet passer.
