PG proficiency is about attitude/mentality/BB Intelligence..It's not state specific.. A good one is a good one.. KEA was never the most gifted player from a physical perspective.. Produced pretty good results..Can he make the team better when he's on the floor??Feel good about our PGs for 2020/2021..

Jersey point guards are highly overrated for the most part. This group of Jersey guards we have offered aren’t any good for UCONN level.

UCONN success has come from recruiting NY, New England, and PA/DMV guards. We have a winning formula that has worked as shown by Calhoun. We should stick to that.

PS: I would prioritize JJ Starling.

Yikes bad AND inaccurate take

I’m talking about where they play their high school ball. Jersey guards aren’t anything special. Jersey has decent small forwards and big guys.

Gaffney became a better player and finished his career in Pennsylvania.

I'm talking about RJ Cole, who played his HS ball in NJ for Bob Hurley at St. Anthony's

It is so arrogant of you to think you know better than Dan Hurley and his staff. Seriously, check yourself.

RJ Cole was recruited by nobody but Howard out of high school.

We haven’t seen him play yet at this level and everybody here is proclaiming him the starter over Gaffney.

i'm sorry but this maybe the dumbest boneyard post of the year so far...Jersey PGs like jay williams, kyrie irving, and bobby hurley were part of Coach K's "winning formula" but they wouldnt have been good enough for Calhoun?

It’s not arrogance, but my opinion I’m giving. Hurley is the coach and will make the decisions.

However, I know for a program like ours these Jersey guards we have offered are no good. Our point guards need to be one of our best players on the team in order to compete for titles.

That’s why I said mostly. Jay Will and Kyrie were top 5 guys out of high school. Those are can’t miss prospects.

If we were offering that quality of a point guard recruit from the state, I wouldn’t comment. If we’re going to offer fringe 4 star guys, I would prefer from the recruiting areas I mentioned.

PS: I think we should recruit JJ Starling.

That was me hyping up Kwin during the OLlie era to bring excitement to the fanbase. We needed it to get through that miserable era. Good try though.

Everyone on the yard knows I’ve been right a lot.

When did it become impossible for people to just say.....I was wrong. Instead you were doing your duty as a UConn fan to hype up the fanbase
Come on
 
Connecting positions on a basketball court to a geographical area is just not smart.

As for ratings, even under the best of circumstances, most coaches know 1-40 or so are pretty reliable. After that, the rankings become way more collapsible and a lot less meaningful. Recruiting experts follow trends and hype, too; they’re not immune.

Under these particular circumstances, with the lack of direct observation, I’m giving even less weight to stars or getting worked up about a fringe four or a four star. For the class of ‘22 especially, this would have been the summer to solidify their ranking and start pulling in bigger offers. We’ve seen it over and over- a guy enters Peach Jam or whatever with some A10 and AAC offers and comes out with half the ACC or Big Ten offering him. Coaches are doing what they can to put out tape on their guys, but it’s not the same. More than ever, college coaches are going to have to depend on and trust their connections and use their own assessments. I feel good about this particular staff in that situation.

I'm reading through the posts in this thread now and there are some absolutely hilarious takes. I mean seriously there are a lot of people on here that were just absolutely delusional.

To cap off our talk, I asked Harris to give his own scouting report, if he were the opposing coach how would he break himself down?

“Great point guard at 6-foot-4 with athleticism. I can score on all levels and my main goal is to get my teammates going and giving them the ball in spots that they can do well in.”

Jaquan Harris hearing from plenty of suitors, new interesrs

Entering the contact period, it was expected that New Jersey native Jaquan Harris would have no shortage of suitors. Now, we are almost a week out of the contact period starting and plenty of progr…

I would think Alabama would be on him pretty heavy since Oats knew him from his days at UB.

Once June 30th hits, I think we can stop calling him and other 2022s "sophomore."
 
If there's no school until January they all remain frozen in time like Walt Disney and Ted WIlliams' head.
 
it's been a week (but feels like an eternity) with no recruiting news so i'm just gonna go ahead and ask it- if there's no season what are the chances bouk comes back for his junior year?

i'm asking because if Hurley thinks he only needs to fill 3 schollys then he can wait until next summer to sign a reclass, a transfer, and a grad transfer, or some combo thereof (meaning he wouldnt have to waste time recruiting anyone currently in the class of 2021)

it's hard to imagine not signing the next recruit for a full calendar year but if Hurley thinks this is how things are going to play out then it makes sense to not worry about '21 for now and go all in on '22

Serious question.. If there is no season.. Will NCAA consider the 2020 season "a year played"?? Or will athletes not lose a year of eligibility for a season they did not play in?? BTW..Still optimistic that some form of a season will be played in 2020..

If there is no season, does Polley and Akok redshirt due to coming off of an injury? Just a random thought.

The rules are being formed but I'm hearing about there being no penalties for students not attending even secondary schools this year.

I anticipate leaves being granted without loss of scholarships for regular students, and NY state has time requirements for its free tuition program, and that will change too.

In the next month, we'll see everything revised.
