4-star PG Jalen Carey no longer considering Miami Hurricanes Basketball per report

[Fishy]

If Carey was considering Miami
It might be prudent if we or even Cuse should pass on him.

This is garbage.

That's what I'm thinking. I bet we don't see many commitments between now and the season starting.

Agreed, and that's what makes getting Matthews and Akinjo (and Wilson actually) soooo crucial.

 

[temery]

There may be a twist to that scenario though. We could see guys committing to the widely acknowledged "safe" schools early on, so they secure a spot before the 'ships run out. It's the questionable schools that are likely to have trouble getting guys to commit until later.

Most of the clearly safe schools suck.

Well...I'm putting us in that category...so tread lightly here...lol

I don't believe Ollie is involved, but it's a stretch to say we are a clearly safe school.

I don't believe Ollie is involved, but it's a stretch to say we are a clearly safe school.

I hear you that it's not 100% clear cut, but do feel that Ollie has too much integrity for that.

Our lack of 5 stars is all the proof I need....

This is garbage.

Really if Miami is under survilence and there is any talk of cash between his camp and them. his eligibility is immediately in question. That’s the best case
Worst case It’s a short hop especially in the minds of UConn bashers to whoever else is in the recruitment.
I hate to do that to a kid too but with our history with the NCAA it’s a gamble we can’t afford to take.

We are still in it . But cuse leads. Staff is working hard

Does @ Zionn still say NEXT?

Please stop.

You sound stupid.

I'm definitely not 100% confident, but I do feel like we'll be in the clear. Hard to be too confident when the EYBL was subpoenaed and Chill was working for them about a decade ago

Wow ok. What would you put he odds he chooses cuse at(if you could)?

 

[UCFan1513]

95%

 

[AntG168]

95%

That wouldn't quantity as in it in my opinion lol. You need no less than a 30% chance to be considered in it. Not that this could even be measured

We've been giving away free ice cream for years. Could catch up to us. Hopefully there isn't a budget line item that shows this.

 

[AdamaNation]

"Yeah, I heard from an anonymous source that Boeheim and Syracuse are guilty of failure to perform in March/April"

Ooooohhhh

We get to control our own behavior and to back off a recruit because a sleezy school was also recruiting him is nuts. That said, Carey is likely going to Cuse.

How so?

 

[temery]

How so?

It's natural to suspect any school that has been very successful. The same is true for individual athletes - not too many people suspect a crappy baseball player of using PEDs.


What moves suspicion away from a program like UConn's is the lack of five star recruits (as mentioned by someone else in this thread). That, and I just don't see Ollie doing it.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Please stop.

You sound stupid.

Nah, your position is nonsense. If we rejected every kid who considered a team possibly involved in this mess, we wouldn't have a team.

Further proof - If I understand a post about basketball well enough to know it's ridiculous, it's definitely ridiculous.

Yeah but chill has only been here for 6 months so it wouldn't involve uconn unless chill did something in those 6 months which I don't believe

 

[MSGSeven]

Jalen Carey eliminates Miami, down to Syracuse & UConn | Zagsblog

 

[JimHurley]

I'd be shocked if he comes here at this point. The mention he made of us singing Akinjo makes it seem like he's not happy about that. Carey seems like a kid who wants minutes right away and that's no guarantee at UConn.
