We're late to the recruiting process so it's unlikely he heads to UConn and I'm not convinced we have a lot of interest. He has an official to a mid major and "some interest' by high majors so his spurn of UConn will be mitigated. Of course there will be some who will point out we can't even win recruiting battles with mid majors.

Isaiah Whaley’s Weaknesses:
I don't really think it matters. We really just need bodies to be able to practice. Take anyone who will say yes.
- Defensive Rebounding: Future150 puts it as his strength for some reason, but he does not box out. Whaley seems content to try to leap over everyone and use his above-average length to make the rebound.

KO must feel like Trebeck on SNL celebrity jeopardy. "Just be tall and we will give a scholarship." Every recruit is like nah I'm 6'1"

I play street ball with my neighbor during the warmer months. I've been known to make breakfast sometimes. I have my own sneakers and they're not Keds.

Confirmed he is visiting, also there's a great chance we secure a commitment during the visit, provided it goes well. Fingers crossed.
Grain of salt.
Edit: I will mention my source here is incredibly close to the situation. Not someone on the coaching staff.
