People already feel good about our '19 class. There are a lot of connections to a lot of really good local talent. I just want to know where the scholarships are going to come from. Right now we only have 2 for 2019

How do you not understand this? In addition to the two you just mentioned, you will have (i) any of our three available schollies at the moment saved, or used on a grad transfer and reopening, and (ii) players who figure out that as we improve the talent they are not going to find the court and leaving. There is no reason to think that the staff wouldn't have at least four schollies available after next season if they want them.

Hurley will use all of his schollies this year. That leaves him with 2 for 2019, but these problems have a way of taking care of themselves. I think regardless we’ll end up with a 3-4 man class for 2019. Worrying about scholarships is how you end up with 8 healthy players in February.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Yep, I don't know why we always go through this especially considering we've gone years without a full roster.

No, I’m saying to get Lecque you have to take Silverio, so you take him. They aren’t going to take Silverio without Lecque.

But in Diarra/Diallo’s case, I would have taken Diarra either way. He was top 100 on ESPN’s list, certainly no slouch.

In defense of Silverio, Pat Lawless noted he has really improved since last summer. Some kids are late bloomers. We shouldn’t treat a kid as a throw away when at most we’ve seen a couple minutes of highlights on him. He also averaged 9.5 PPG on 38% 3P shooting last summer, which really isn’t bad to begin with.

That may be true, but since he decommited from Santa Clara on Tuesday, here are the schools that have reached out to him:

“Fordham, St. Bonaventure, Dayton and Hofstra"

Not great.

He seems like he can shoot the basketball. He’d be a perfect role player on a team with talent like Lecque, JA, AG, etc. I personally like him
Expand ...

Oh yeah I'm totally fine with him provided Lecque comes here and Silverio is guard #5. I just would not want him thrust into any serious minutes. I could see him being a solid player by the he's an upperclassman.

Yep, I don’t think it’s too ridiculous to say he could have a Niels Gifffey type trajectory. Which would obviously be great.
 
It's nice to see the Uconn logo on so many recruits. I don't want to get too excited, but it really feels good to be in with these high recruits.

Have to disagree here. I like Diarra. His injury threw him off course, but he could be really good for us as an upperclassman.

I think people are sleeping on him given how Ollie's developed big men in his time (lacking). Hoping Hurley can get the most out of him. He's got the necessary motor and aggression.

It's easy to forget that he's got three years to go too.

How many people here have seen him (preferably recently)?

Can the kid play here?

Couldn't even have a full 5 on 5 scrimmage last year.
 
He angles in very fundamentally on layups from both sides. His shoulders are in nearly perfect form and the arm extension is nearly textbook.
