Let’s get Betsey on board next, then go all in on Ngongba… Flagg would be less of a pipe dream in that scenario.
This staff is dangerous on the recruiting trail when they can now further narrow their focus on 2-4 recruits with a couple already signed.

If UK didn’t want him……..

According to @husky429 this is a false narrative

I like the narrative, fabricated or not. Say it often enough and it becomes its own truth. UConn got a recruit over Calamari, Uconn got a recruit over Calamari, (say it again and then repeat).

“They [UConn] check all my boxes when it comes to what I want from the playing style to the player development,” he told ZAGSBLOG. “Also the mentality of the coach [Dan Hurley]. He wants to win and he strives to get better at it and so do I.” Nowell visited every school on his final list officially besides Kentucky.

Will be interesting to see who has a better college career. We've won a lot of these when losing out on the top recruit at a position.

Ahmad Nowell is an ultimate connector piece, someone who can take on multiple duties on both ends of the floor while also enhancing the play of others. Immediately, you look at his defense to translate, and that might be the tool that gets him on the court the earliest. He plays with tenacity on that end of the floor, which allows his long arms and strong frame to be disruptive both on and off the ball.

Nowell and Solo are gonna be the best defensive backcourt in their conference. Both came in with next level bodies, described as gritty/tough, and have great mentors on that end in the staff. Abraham is gonna feast on all those steals and fast breaks forced by our pressure.

Spot on. Also thanks for using the correct wording in "i couldnt care less". Most people say "i could care less" which is idiotic.

Do we have a realistic chance at CF? I thought it was a foregone conclusion he was going to Puke.

Did a bit of reading. Seems the thought is CF decision is likely going to come down to Uconn and Puke with the ladder being the favorite. Hes a big time player if we pull this one off DH could be cutting down the nets again pretty soon.
I’m sure Cal & the fans wanted him.

As I mentioned before, we were off Nowell’s list for a while and somehow got back on. Either it was the national championship, our coaching staff's persistence or both. I'm thrilled to have Nowell. He's going to be a great Husky.

When were we off his list? We offered him in April, watched all his games and he released a top 4 with UConn on it in June. Am I missing something?

Prior to that he had a list. Some things I read prior to April. It seemed like he was focused on other schools.

I don't think that's accurate, there's no list anywhere other than his top 4. We were definitely late to his recruitment, but there's nothing posted anywhere publicly where he'd cut down his schools before we got involved

Giff-i was here for 6 months before he corrected announcers and writers as to the pronunciation of his name from Giff-ee. This recruit I have heard his name repeatedly as 'No-well', but the public address announcers in some game clips were saying 'knoll'. Is there a clip where he or his family states his last name?
