Kentucky wasn't really recruiting him. Idk who wasn't interested--very easily could have been Ahmad--but let's not get excited. The chances of us reeling in a player UK seriously recruits is small. See: Justin Edwards.

You can be excited for this commitment without this fabricated narrative.

Calipari offered Nowell a scholarship in person and remarked about the guard’s abilities on both ends of the floor. “He talked about the things that he loved about me, how hard I played on offense, like my decision-making and my shot-making “ Nowell told the Inquirer. And Kentucky wasn’t really recruiting him?????

UConn staff continues to secure commitments once they get guys on campus. Add this one to the list… he’s certainly not the same athlete but he’s got a little bit of Scoot Henderson vibes to him. Undersized guard whose built like a Mack Truck and plays his tail off. Clearly cares about winning. Really happy with this one, can never have enough guys who bring the energy like he does.
 
With the overall talent we have, we don't need our point guard to score big. We need a great ball handler, distributor who's strong and can take it to the hoop and score and draw fouls. He's a perfect fit.

Don’t kill me for this - i did like the earlier comparison to Kyle Lowry as upside potential - but does he compare at all to Posh or Wusu at SJU? But better after freshman year due to better coaching and development? Or is he significantly better due to his ranking?
 
One has to think that if you’re a big like Ngongba or a wing like Betsey, having Nowell committed as a lead distributor makes Storrs a very attractive destination. Add in Abraham and the beginning pieces are on board to keep the winning train rolling. The staff is putting on a master class.

Talk is cheap. How many times did UK watch him this summer or visit? (Hint: the answer is very few)

It's entirely possible that Ahmad wasn't interested in UK and that's why there wasn't much smoke. But you and @TheHorde aren't living in the real world if you think that was a serious recruitment.

I forgot it waa Sunday his announcment. I thought it was Monday. My dad textannouncement. Not unexpected but still great. Another great pickup and hopefully he is more than 1 year guard due to his size. Though if we win it in his first year he is welcomed to go. Lol!

You might want to add Calipari and the Kentucky fan recruiting site to us unfortunates who aren’t living “in the real world.”
