2024 Recruiting: Ahmad Nowell to Announce July 23rd

[husky429]

I know coaches can’t comment on kids, but could players/coaches theoretically attend a commitment ceremony like this?

Only time I can recall that happening is once when the coach was a family friend and it was obvious the kid was going there. Just a signing day celebration.

I'm guessing a coach COULD go to a commitment event if it was during the live period, but it would be kind of weird and poor form. If Kimani is sitting in the room and no other coaches are there... it kind of ruins the surprise. Ya know?

7 likes so it must be positive. Twitter translation for an old guy, non social media partaker like me please.....

Who cares..plenty of talent out there that is on our watch list

Plenty of talent available....until there's not. I want Nowell. We've had pretty good success over the last 30 years with small guards.

Slater’s making a joke that he’s not even going to tweet a prediction gif (which he usually does) because everyone already knows its UConn, hence the “too easy”

 

[ElGreco]

I get nervous ever since we got Timberlaked

That’s not gonna happen!

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

He's a Husky

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Just a reminder, that my summer calendar reminds us all that tomorrow is...

Sweet dreams, Boneyard....

Thanks for the explanation, good looking out @aburks41 But the "solid 4-year college combo" part.... I'd think most HS kids would take that as an insult these days, no? Especially a 4* talent like Ahmad who may not see himself playing college ball that long.

I don’t know much about Nowell’s prospects as a pro, but I don’t think that’s necessarily an insult. People said that about Karaban too and now he’s got a good shot at being a late first rounder after his upcoming sophomore season. Most 4*’s will likely project as 4 year players before they ever step foot on campus

He’s around 5’11, hopefully he has no delusions about leaving as an underclassman.

I’ve been telling my girlfriend “big day Sunday” and “something big happening July 23rd” for a week now.

99% I’m getting broken up with when she finds out it was a UConn commitment this whole time.

 

[ucp990411]

Anyone else find ot odd that he would list 1PM CT on the announcement.

Nah, women love commitment.

CT, Connecticut time.

No, people in the central time zone are also interested in the commitment and follow 247

If I'm not mistaken, 247 headquarters is in Indianapolis which is CT.

All 4 schools are ET, nothing to see here, move along.

If she gets upset just tell her to relax and calm down.

My thought is that he can’t wait to announce his choice as CT.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

 

[mauconnfan]

Like his game a lot the more I see. I lean towards big guards but he has that strength and ability to change the game no matter his size. Mid range ability looks nice too as well as strong finisher. Add to that they say he’s a pesty on ball defender, what’s not to like?

 

[Mike Honcho]

Self-made 3pt shooter is kind of a funny modifier and I'm not exactly sure what it means.
