Abu Visiting Florida Today

[HuskyBballFan]

Here's my glass half full spin for Mr. Abu not visiting until 8/24. Terrell is supposed to visit URI on 8/22. If Hurley gets him leaning URI's way and Joseph commits to Syracuse during or shortly after his visit this weekend, I'd say Abu will be a lot more agreeable to what KO has to say on his visit.

I think it's a matter of who requested the visit to be rescheduled. If KO did, I think it's strategic where it's much better to have Abu on campus with the whole team back showing the family atmosphere, along with the campus being more lively. Right now almost everyone on the team is at their respective homes, coming back shortly. If Abu and his coach requested the reschedule, then I think you have to just hope the visit comes to fruition and alll will take of itself.

Random Attractive Co-eds is a line item in the UF Athletic Budget.

Plus hopefully there aren't too many UF co-eds hanging around right now.

Yeah we got no chance if they are

From Amore.

On the UConn men recuiting front, an update: Abdul-Malik Abu’s planned visit Wednesday was rescheduled for Aug. 24, I’m told, because there will be time for a longer visit that day.

I like the sound of that no matter who requested the rescheduling of the visit.

it's a good sign he wants more time to visit

Unfortunately looks like we are out for Perkins. He isn't vsiting.

i know, it was a joke

 

[Sportsman5]

Yes that seems correct. Looks to be a type of visit where he just wanted to confirm that he doesn't want to go to school there. I've read he is from Marblehead, MA which is a pretty wealthy town. So his parents probably have the money to take unofficial visits that other recruits simply can't afford. Obviously just an assumption.

I think it shows that it most likely will come down to Uconn and PC.

No idea about Donovan's exact recruiting pitch, but he is a shady weirdo, so nothing would really surprise me. I still remember him basically stalking Rashad Anderson after he had already committed to us.

I know that he went to Florida with his AAU coach, Ty Boswell, and not his family. Anyone know if his family and/or his AAU coach went with him to PC or NC State?

From what Abu has said, I think those things might come into play only if he doesn't have a clear leader. If UConn and PC are 50-50 than maybe Terrell choosing PC sways things. If Abu is leaning to UConn than I don't think Terrell going to/or not PC comes into play.

JMO. I also don't think Donovan could say anything that would carry much weight with him potentially choosing PC. He might, who knows, but I doubt it would make a huge impact.

Kid just seems to have a pretty level head and knows what he wants. Not saying he will make the best decision but he will make the decision he thinks is best and I don't think gimmicks will play a huge role.

I think Abu to PC may help them with Terrell moreso than vice versa.

Who does PC go after if it falls Joseph/Cuse, Abu/UConn, Terrell/URI? Maybe PM me to not clog up this thread.

These are the type of posts I don't mind from PC fans.

I'm pretty sure he had a family member at both.

Very interesting. Could be something, but could also mean diddly squat.

Billy D is very intense and a little Machiavellian; but a more earnest and sincere person you will not meet.

No way of knowing but if he did it for that reason wow!

Terrell now has a URI pick on his 247 crystal ball. That would certainly help us out.

And this is the scenario that FriarJ felt was the most likely, Terrell to URI and Abu to UConn.

Terrell would certainly be a featured player at URI. They'd probably build their team around him. Not a bad building block for URI.

If I had to guess UConn gets Abdul-Malik Abu, URI gets Terrell and Providence gets Chukwu.
