2019 Recruiting Thread

[huskymedic]

Just based on personal opinion? History of RE?

Despite how he’s posturing it appears he (and possibly UConn) have moved on:

>>Timeline: The 5-foot-10, 190-pound back mentioned his current Top 7 respesents teams that have already offered, but that a new offer could shake things up. With his recent decommitment from UConn, Smith mentioned there is no rush to make another decision. He does not have a timeline in place for his commitment, but did mention that a few programs want him to officially visit in December and that he does not want to wait that long to decide.<<

Usual disclaimer that anything is possible in recruiting 18/19 y/o’s but IMO I wouldn’t count on him being in Storrs.

If we want to be successful, we’ll accept talented commits regardless of whether they initially backed ouT

I’m not sure that’s the view of the boss. If that were the case, we’d be dumpster diving for talented kids released by programs for disciplinary reasons

If they want him to visit in December that should tell him he's their fallback guy. Otherwise, why would they wait and chance losing him to another school?

I didn’t say he wasn’t a fallback for Texas Tech?

It could be that TT sees a kid with commitment issues and so they will invest time with him with the distance to the goal line is short. I think DJ will have many suitors sometime this fall. Programs just might be reluctant to invest a lot of time early in the process for a guy with a wandering eye.

Good points.

Sorry, didn't mean to make it sound like I was referring to what you said. Only reiterating what I've said before about how these kids often get duped.
Duke and Virginia with their Jaiden Delaire interactions, for example, where they say things like "we haven't had time to review blah, blah, blah and we'll be in touch later this Fall". While they wait to see if their higher rated choice commits, the kid waits on the sideline.
