I'm a little nervous about tomorrow. I cant help but think that Providence is a dark horse here and that there is a good chance he will announce the Friars tomorrow. I mean c'mon, you always got to worry about Providence when it comes to recruiting battles.

I get nervous ever since we got Timberlaked

Commitment parties are a blast, even for kids going D2 or D3.

If any UConn fans are able to make it, I'm sure it would mean a lot to the kid and his family.

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?

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”

That’s not gonna happen!

[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

Just shy of 20 minutes.

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.
