They have visited PC liked Hami visited UConn. Multiple times. Glen Miller a month ago thought he had it under control - I don't buy it.
 
Teams have become pretty brazen with their negative recruiting against UConn. In reality , I guess Nova can make a case but some of these other schools it's pretty silly - unless you are an 18 year old kid?
 
.-.
My vote would be to take Glen off the recruiting trail and if KO feels he needs him for scouting reports, zone defenses, keeping track of timeouts/fouls/player minutes, etc - then use him for that purpose and perhaps tours of the facilities / preparing class schedules and the like.

Ricky Moore's contribution is recruiting and maybe toughness - Is he making a difference in those areas?
 
Catch up to PC and Nova for two. Certain big schools tough to gauge their real interest.
 
With JA and Gilbert and MAL maybe some of these guys are thinking UConn is too stacked
There is no guarantee that JA isn't staying 4 years and both AG and MAL will be entering soph seasons
Duke or Reeves would be fine - probably don't need/wont get both
Would love to get Swider but he might be the longest shot

How do you get a vote? Carry over proxy from the JC days????
I think RM and Kitchens should be the main recruiters behind KO

Swider and Reeves though play entirely different positions. They are wings, not PG or combos.

Glenn Miller did something to piss chief off, every thread seems like it contains some type of shot at Miller from chief, you mind clarifying chief?

I would rather not comment. On this Board , in fairness, I just listed a bunch of things I think he could do relatively well. I just don't view him as a big man's coach nor an elite recruiter. I have always been fair and said there were other ways to utilize Coach Miller.

MY BAD
you are correct
I knew Swider was a wing thought Reeves was a SG
THANKS
 
Lest we all indulge the crazy person so much that folks start believing him, I'll provide this reminder:

Miller was the man who drew up the gameplan for the 2014 title game

Miller ran point on the recruitment of Mamadou & the scramble for Vital

Miller spent every waking minute with Durham on his visit, and Durham committed two days later

Are these facts?

- I gave Coach Miller credit for scouting reports.
- Quite frankly, Mamadou was all about the Diallo prize - so that was not a success.
- Miller was not point recruiter on Durham. True, he gave him a tour of facilities and reviewed courses - two things I have always given him credit for. As I recall, that was during the Bunkey era- enough said.
- I am not real familiar with the details of the Vital recruitment. But, it's no secret that Quinn and Miller do not get along - so I am skeptical about that.

Playing catch up on all three.

For Swider, the intel is that he prefers a basketball-centric school. Nova, Xavier, Creighton etc. Not as much interest in the schools with BCS football programs. So I don't think we are playing catch-up as much as it's just not a good fit for the kid. We were in on him a long time ago. I hope it changes but doubt it.

Not saying you are wrong, but why would the kid care if the college he went to had a football program?
 
I have a hard time believing KO would miss out on both rivals players reeves or duke, you just know he's going to sign a top nepsac player like he does yearly even if it isn't them though.

I'd say that UConn is probably the definition of basketball-centric. I mean, it's not really known for football. Am I wrong?

Every time you utter the word Bunky, another of your few remaining shreds of credibility disappears. Plus it just makes you seem creepy. Give it a rest once and for all for god's sake.

Your posts are meaningless and display your total lack of knowledge.
