The UConn that offered Clingan is not the UConn of today. Hurley was rebuilding the program, had no pros and no championships. He had to offer early to have a shot. That isn’t the case anymore. Whether he offers now or in the summer won’t make a difference. They’re in contact.

Mullins, Reibe, Adams, Flagg, McNeeley were all offered late.

Oh and block me :)

He’s not wrong. On top of that it’s highly arguable if college basketball is the same college basketball when UConn recruited Clingan.

There are too many factors right now. I do want him offered soon but it’s still extremely early for 2026.

I'm not telling Hurley how to recruit, but I've seen this kid play a lot and heard him speak. I'm sold. He's a winner and freak athlete. Having one star home grown CT player on the roster isn't asking for too much from our staff.

So the offers we already have out for 2026 recruits are……..??????
 
Getting to the rim off the bounce as Rafferty would say……yikes. Only 16.

Imagine where this program will be when Hurley learns to recruit, figure out substitution patterns, learns how to win close games, and handle himself with the refs.

I think we could win a title.

FIFY

Guys Hurley likes currently more than Toure. The math isn’t hard. Hurley wants to see more before he offers. You’re over thinking it

I don’t know who we’ve offered already. 2026 is ions away. I’m not even all the way sure why anyone is worried about offers in 2026. But whomever they are clearly Hurley thinks they’ve earned the offer.

Is this kid’s game similar to Hamidou Diallo? Not that I watched him much either, but I just remember everybody losing their minds when he picked Kentucky.

Saw Abdou Toure this AM in Kingdom of the Sun in Ocala. He was 7 for 7 from 3pt land.
Exceptional athlete and BB player. Whoever said 5 * I agree. Needs strength and work on D but only a junior.

You make this sound like you know this for a fact when you are just reading the tea leaves.

He’s currently working with an elite strength coach in CT so I don’t have worries about his development on that end. High school D in CT is impossible to assess, it’s so much more effort than skill at that stage

Well, HD was basically a practice player at UConn before spurning us, so AT is nothing like him.

Qayden Samuels, another 6-5, 200 SG. He's from Maryland and I believe his sister plays for the women's team. 5 star ranked #16 nationally.

Samuels and Toure* would be an amazing wing duo to build the class around. We'll also prob need another forward and big man. Liam is gone after this year and Mullins sounds more and more like a one and done after next year. I doubt Ball and Stew will still be here as seniors.

Guards:
Nowell (jr) / Adams (so)

Wings:
Ross (sr) / Furphy (so) / Toure* (fr) / Samuels (fr)

Forwards:
Abe (jr) / ??? (fr)

Bigs:
Singare (sr) / Reibe (so) / ??? (fr)

I’m using common sense. If Hurley wanted to or felt he needed to offer by now he would have. Yes we know that

Like MJK said. Wouldn't worry about defense or strength. He's still a baby and has a great frame.

Love that he's having tje mind of season where he'll take 7 from deep in a game. Reps reps reps is key at this age.
