We're not done yet.

Oh I know, that's the floor.

Angel of death no more. What do I use now? This old chestnut?

 

[intlzncster]

How certain are we of this? If true, this would be amazing

Matrim doesn't fbomb around.

 

[ctchamps]

Agree. I just hope that this board doesn't melt down if we end up missing on both Precious and Kofi. I don't think we will, but it's a possibility, and as frustrating as it would be, it would not mean the sky's falling.

There's a plan & a strategy here. Hurley thinks like a GM assembling and developing his roster, not an AAU coach collecting talent.

BTW, can't emphasize enough how important it was that he re-recruited every single kid who was already here. It meant a ton to advisors, former coaches, families and the kids themselves, and when you treat people right like that, the word travels. There's an air of accountability, responsibility and preparedness around the program now, and it's made it much easier to recruit and say "we're committed to the guys we have, which means when you get here we're committed to you."

Chief is briefs; You da boxers man.

 

[Son of Robert]

Three happy days in a month's time for UConn Nation. I don't know if I can handle all this good news.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Dam repairs unlikely to occur in October.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Cuse fans in denial. Lol.

 

[HawkHusky]

"He has left UConn without committing numorous times! I just hope that he can be convinced to sign early rather than waiting until spring. That is a bigger concern to me than UConn or Prov."

 

[Dooch]

very likely Storrs Bound

Do we expect a commit after his OV?

 

[intlzncster]

Cuse fans in denial. Lol.

Got 'em exactly where we want 'em.

 

[Walker11]

This has to be the 1st optimistic recruit call I have seen from Zionn since like 2014. And he was right on all the NEXT calls.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Cuse board has gone from confident to worried.

very likely Storrs Bound

 

[Ewekon]

The AkAk calls are starting to feel definitive. I know the true insiders here have real info; but is it opinion or all but fact?

 

[UConNick]

It’s hilarious how entitled they act just because of one letter (AAC vs. ACC). Sure, conference is not an insignificant factor, but our overall profile, recent poor seasons and all, still beats theirs. And it’s not particularly close. You can’t just ignore history (4>1*), facilities (state of the art Werth Center vs. a 40 year old bubble), and stability (Hurley in his 40s vs. Boeheim in his 70s), not to mention many other factors.

This is my favorite one over there. Hey I guess being "close" is as good as winning them. Lol.

Yes, more than one natty would be nice but we have been sooooo close a couple times. Close enough to keep 20,000+ fans coming out in the middle of winter game after game to support their favorite program.

 

[HawkHusky]

Cuse fans love participation trophies.

 

[Guapo]

Lol man I just hate Cuse so much.

I hope they sleep well at night on their pile of ACC money knowing we are the more successful program.

I really hope that if that happens nobody on this board melts down. He havent even had this guy for a half a year, after b2b losing seasons, and he already landed two top 150’s. If anyones angry about not landing a top 10 or 30 recruit than its nothing but greed.

 

[Chief00]

Yep, Tom Moore big here.

Agreed. PSA connection - he had that as a head coach.

LOL - Love, the abscene of the trademark “NEXT”.
As Chief said, he’s Coach Hurley’s power forward.
We now own the Tri State.
Maybe that’s all we need, but the plan is DMV as well. Technically, Kofi now fits that profile but we know better.

Nothing's fact until he's on campus, and as @intlzncster said I try not to F around – I wouldn't have put it in this thread if I wasn't supremely confident. Same for @superjohn I'm sure.

Beyond that: @Zionn remains the king. If he's chiming in with good news, the news is dam good!
