Abu down to 4 schools- UConn on the list

[Burnsbros23]

Illinois seems to be emerging as the front runner for Leron Black

Wonder if Florida is still recruiting Abu.

Wonder if Florida is still recruiting Abu.

Going to go out on a limb here and say that they are still recruiting him. Don't think he would have a school in his top 4 when they aren't recruiting him anymore.

 

[Burnsbros23]

yah ur right. I had heard they backed off some.

Abu is a devout Muslim. You think his religion could turn him away from PC?

If it were, PC would not have made it to the final four in his selection. My guess would be that he would make sure any school he chooses would not impede his beliefs. A good recruiter would make sure that he can, and address it with him before he even asked.

"Surprise - Oubre - Huskies"

Hence the "surprise".......

No idea if we'll get Abu, but I do think it's more likely they go their separate ways at this point. I mean, if it's truly a deal breaker and these 2 kids just absolutely, positively have to play together, why even go through the formality of narrowing your lists to 4 schools with only 1 in common. Just commit to that school. Abu does not seem like the type of personality who would string things along for no reason.

I can see Terrell to URI and Abu to UCONN or PC.

Well I think the answer to your question is that playing together is not a deal breaker. They've said all along that if it happens, it happens.

Abu will be visiting Uconn on Wednesday.

Edit: Sorry, I think the link was bad. It's per Evan Daniels on scout.

Links not working for me, but Im glad were getting him on campus soon. PC has momentum right now, but thats about all its got.

UConn on Wednesday. NC State next Sunday, and then Florida soon after.

Terrell & Abu will announce together in early September

Can't say the joint press conference is a good sign for us. Or a press conference in general for that matter. When's the last time a kid held one of those "put four hats on the table" press conferences and chosen Uconn?

it's a horrible sign for us

I agree the joint press conference doesn't look good, but why go through all of this if they already know they want to go to PC together?

 

[tcf15]

Press conferences never worked out for Jim Calhoun. New era under Kevin Ollie.

i agree, maybe they just want to make sure they're making the right choice?

I don't like getting the 1st visit out of the allotted schools.

It's the 2nd visit. PC is first.

Then you're in luck...we're not.

When did PC get their visit?

When did PC get their visit?

it's coming this weekend

If PC gets Kaleb Joseph, Jared Terrell, Jalen Lindsey, AMA, and Paschal Chukwu......Well I'm not sure what I'd do. But it's starting to seem more realistic. That would be a scary class.

 

[EricSD]

My guess now:
Terrell to URI
Abu to UConn

Like your guess a lot. I hope it comes true!!

 

[CTBasketball]

On AMA's twitter he has expressed that he wants to commit already. He might know where he wants to go by now...

 

[James]

Makes no sense to schedule a joint presser for different schools. I've moved my hopes towards devin robinson and josh perkins. Oh and or colson

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Unless the talk about them playing together has been a lie.

It's not exactly a mutually exclusive thing where we can't still have a monster class if PC gets those guys.

Yea no doubt.

We could very well see Purvis, Hamilton, Perkins, Robinson, or even Larrier all in UConn uniforms in 2014.

Most of us forget that our 2 biggest recruits are already locked in to play in 2014. (Rodney and D-Ham)

I have a sneaky suspicion that we should get Abu. But I don't think one can't go to PC without the other. Therefore, I think PC should get Terrell even if (when?) we get Abu. I'm also wondering about the prospects of neither of them staying local. Both players have two local schools, but then two schools from far away.
