2019/20 UConn Recruiting

Basic Jim is OK. But he has some delicious variants such as Black, extra aged. I never took to Jack. George (Dickel) #12 is quite good as a Tennessee whisky (He spells it without the 'e'). Tennessee whiskey is slightly different from Bourbon. There's an extra step involving charcoal filtering. It's parameters/processes were defined by an act of Congress in 1964.

Jim is my go to but for special occasions, take a look at Black Saddle. Not commonly known, but as good or better than Blanton's or EF Taylor Single Barrel.

Y'all have peaked my interest. Guess I'll have to tighten up that cinch and go for a little ride.

It's been several decades but I always enjoyed Rebel Yell, a sour mash I believe. It was only available south of the M-D Line and I always got compliments when I pulled out a bottle for friends here in CT

Have a feeling Boston will sadly end up going to Notre Dame. Not to mention her old high school teammate is a incoming freshman. Just went on the ND measage board with pics and she looked very happy posing with Sam Brunelle and others.. and check out Sam’s Twitter. I said all along muffet will close it out with the selling points regarding there National title with all those injuries, and use the effect of being the next dominant program. I have a feeling they will land Boston, Buckners and Fudd. I think UCONN’s dominance sadly is coming to a end and uconns recruiting is going to take a hit. Last year UCONN had no commitents till the very end. I think players no longer want to go to UCONN with all the demands the program expects every day. I’m sure I will get flack for it but my gut feeling is usually right. UCONN has to land a top center and foward or it could be a downfall ... hopefully Geno can seal the deal on the next 2 recruiting classes.. the most pivotal in uconn’s program in several years. Notre Dame has the momentum and they will end up scoring big!!

That was just the deadline for the first signing period. Not all that late, really. And they did pretty well in spite of that, right? And the previous year with Walker? Two of their earliest recent commits (C Collier and Espinoza-Hunter) are no longer around. In other words, don't make too much of verbal timelines.

N.D. won their 2nd championship in 18 years and got Brunelle, who is really about a #10 recruit and wanted UConn over N.D. until the offer was rescinded. I think it's way too early to say there is a negative trend. Let's see where we are when the early signing period ends. It's about 12 weeks away.

If she wanted UCONN why wouldn’t Geno take her? At one point she was #1. She is still a top 5 player. Doesn’t make sense .. why would Geno pass on her if she really wanted UCONN??

I don't think you can make too big of a deal about 1 Championship. Notre Dame was recruiting just fine before winning in '18. I know they have history but Tennessee hasn't won a Title (or even been to the Final 4) since '08, but they keep recruiting about as well as anybody. Seriously, how long before the legacy of what Tennessee used to be is no longer relevant to up and coming prospects? Texas has been killing it lately without particularly impressive results in the post season. There's something else other than winning Championships or making regular deep runs in the Tourney that is influencing many recruits.

Aliyah is a thorough person. She wants to make all her official visits with her parents, who live in the V.I.

Geno hasn't passed on her at all. Aliyah wants to take her time. Lots of kids don't decide/announce until the early signing period. We got Meg, Christyn, and Olivia in November.

I was referring to sam Brunelle. If her choice was UCONN all along why did Geno go after her? Was she that bad of a player? Makes no sense

She doesn't fit as a 3 or 4 in the UConn offense. When are people going to move on.. .She just doesn't have the speed for UConn and was over hyped in the rankings. I expect her ranking to drop.

Brunelle may have had an offer. It's unclear was to whether there was just early interest or a real offer. UConn apparently cooled on her. One reason could be that other players improved, while Sam stagnated. Sam was the #12 player on the U-17 team, even though many teammates were younger. She also showed her weaknesses in the 3 x 3 games. She's a good player, but not a true #1 player. Sam is slow and not agile. Think Kat Westbeld. The last positive interaction between UConn and Sam involved her family. While we don't know what happened, we do know that Geno has cooled on some players because of negative interaction with the parents. Reportedly, Sam wanted UConn, but the interest was no longer mutual.

You know darn well what happened. You posted about it back in April. Use the search function and you can find your old posts on the topic.

What's really mystifying is why posters are taking you and your fake chicken little act seriously. Check back in November.

Boston may or may not end up at UConn but any thought that she has a "silent" deal with Geno seems unlikely to me especially after she posed in a Notre Dame uniform........that would be really unfair to the folks at ND and I think Boston is too good a kid to lead another school on like that........

I don't understand the point of posting these photos. She visited Notre Dame for the weekend. We know that. What's the point your trying to make with these posts?

Photos like this aren't posted on other boards. I don't get it.

as far as I'm concerned, any information regarding an important UConn target is worth posting whether that involves a photo of player visiting Notre Dame or UConn...........that's the beauty of the BY.........if I posted a photo of Ms Boston in a UConn uniform on the Notre Dame board I would be booted and that's plain stupid..........

But that's just it, you aren't providing new information. It's troll-like behavior. Posts like this are for your agenda. They offer no value to this board.
