Article from last week said no timeline
2024 four-star guard Ahmad Nowell discusses the schools prioritizing him

Says after Peach Jam which is early July

 

[StrawChewer]

What’s his timeline? Anyone with the On 3 411?

After the peach jam.. ends in early july

 

[auror]

Gotta imagine that's a good sign right after our visit

I think he visited GaTech inbetween then and now, so they were the most recent visit before the cut.

Fair, also said he plans on visiting Kentucky before the commitment date

Howard and Nowell should be deciding within a week or two of each other. Could be a pretty nice summer for the huskies if things go well.

@Zionn @husky99 how are you guys feeling here? Think we’re the clubhouse leader at this point or is this a total tossup?

He discusses all 4 schools in this On3 subscription article, if anyone who has a subscription wants to tell us generally what he says about UConn.

Kentucky is desperate for players. They just signed a 3 star recruit. When was the last time that happened? I'd say realistically it's between us and Kentucky. We better not get Diallo-ed. No coach does less with more than Coach Cal.

Philadelphia (Pa.) Imhotep Institute four-star shooting guard Ahmad Nowell is down to four schools, he tells On3.

Moving forward, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound rising senior will consider Connecticut, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

Nowell has officially visited each of his finalists, besides Kentucky. He currently does not have a date scheduled to visit the Wildcats and says he plans to make a decision sometime after EYBL’s Peach Jam, which concludes in early July. The Philly native is currently averaging 13.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game for Team Final (16-1) on the EYBL Circuit.

UConn: “What stands out to me about UConn is that they are winners. The coaching staff over there is amazing. They know how to win. Coach Dan (Hurley) what players he needs to win and he’s trying to be better at being a coach everyday. Just with those goals, those aspirations, and just the fact that they get their players to the NBA, really stands out to me.”

Kentucky: “What stands out to me the most about Kentucky is the school overall. They’re a great program and they get a lot of players to the NBA. And they become successful in the NBA. All the players that I grew up watching and that I’m still watching, Kentucky really stands out to me the most. Just me being able to possibly be in that position one day if I was able to go there and hopefully make it to the NBA and be a star, because that’s the ultimate goal. Also my teammate Justin Edwards(incoming Kentucky freshman) and him being able to trust those guys.”

It sucks, but people really need to stop having this argument about Cal and his impact on recruits. The recruits buy the narrative, and that’s all that matters.

I think it's less about Cal than about Kentucky the school. They do have an extensive network beyond the coaching staff. Notice Nowell praised "the school overall" and the "program" not Cal, whereas for UConn he specifically named Dan Hurley.

It’s kind of like praising Skull and Bones at Yale for developing leaders into power lol. Is it Skull and Bones, or is it the fact that they’re already tapping the most elite of the elite to join, and they’d succeed anyway?

 

[SoFla Steve]

Maybe we can show some NBA success Thursday night.

I don’t want to be a wet blanket here but that machine is an ai algorithm based on a whole bunch of nothing. It’s best not to pay attention to it.

247 crystal balls are from actual people and would mean a lot more.

UCONN #1 TENN #2

Interesting where UK will be

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Interesting where UK will be

The AI wouldn’t have UK high there because he hasn’t visited. So any other school he’s visited would be ranked higher in their system even though that wouldn’t actually be the case.

It’s a part of the formula they use and insiders at On3 would say that it doesn’t really mean much as well.

That is not always true. Alot of factors play into those lists. Coaching showing up to games, social media, etc....

That true, but I’d still take it with a grain of salt. It says Kentucky has a less than 1% chance which doesn’t seem like the case in this recruitment and Georgia Tech has a 27% chance.

Crystal Balls on 247 carry A LOT more weight coming from real people. Lol

Definitely agree with that - they are for entertainment purposes only LOL.
