Remember I posted the Chill picture a couple weeks ago. I can’t specifically comment on recruiting until the clouds clear - but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Chief recognizes the experienced posters picked up on that but I wanted to reiterate to the casual fans, who we desperately need! Don’t lose hope reading the Hartford Courant - they only have the ability to use the rear view mirror. To Chief the vision is starting to look pretty good looking forward.

Was the Chill pic in regards to Precious? Can't remember.
 
This is the first time we're hearing about a package deal. Would be GREAT for the program. These are the 2 best players on a top 3-4 team on the circuit. I'm assuming we have the entire staff at this NE6 and New Heights combine this morning in CT(Hotchkiss School).
 
A couple of characteristics with a program will separate one from the rest that are recruiting him.

“I’m looking at player development and what’s going to get me to the next level past college,” said Quinones. “I’ll be looking at player development and people at my position who used to go there to see how they started and finished at school. The system, I like teams that play two ways and open system.”

Hmm, this sounds very good for us.

FIBA Stats (Dominican Republic) for those curious:

6 GP, 31.6 MIN, 17.5 PTS, 43.4% FG, 41.9% 3P, 75% FT, 6.3 REB, 3.5 AST, 3 TOV, 1 STL, .2 BLK

He was 3rd in scoring, and 1st among all 2018 and 2019 NCAA players/prospects. He outscored Quentin Grimes and Cole Anthony on a per FGA basis, and they we're USA's most utilized guards.

Points for creativity for the idea that Chief is subject to a "gag order" which prevents him from discussing recruiting pending the resolution of the Ollie imbroglio.

That’s why I go with the picture.

So many here are so negative - The NYC flood gates will open in the next two months. Think strategically and think lots of success.

Until we get a better symbol my Chill picture is out on my desk.

I'm not buying that. Hurley's been the coach for about three months and hasn't filled all his available scholarships yet. How long does he expect us to wait?

Quite frankly, I am sure many casual fans feel as you do. It’s completely understandable that we all want instant gratification without doing the necessary grind. It’s human nature and we need the casual fans who feel this way to hang in there and trust Chief.
I suggest you enjoy your summer and let the coaching staff worry about this stuff. Chief will be cheering them on in spirit until the KO related clouds lift.

For the casual fans out there, I was actually joking, but it's great to have Chief's support no matter who we are.

Oh boy-can't wait
enjoy the summer
 
I'm certainly a casual fan, but I have enough common sense and knowledge about recruiting to realize nobody is going to walk in to the mess KO left and overnight start reeling in top recruits. Consider the situation and then consider the players that seem genuinely interested in Uconn. Hurley is doing an unbelievable job in a short span of time. To have a guy like Precious, what is he #5 in the country?, seriously considering Uconn is unbelievable. Have patience folks. It's still July.

He and Bouknight would be really good together on the wing.

Disagree man, its either Bouknight or Quinones. Bouknight is better for me. He is a way better athlete with a better handle and upside than Quinones. I don't want Vance Jackson 2.0. Of course if its a package deal to get Precious, it's a no-brainer.
