Providence got a 60ish rated recruit... I believe this is the crown jewel of their recruiting year. Good luck to them.

Cooley is a likable guy.

Good luck to them.

Steve, you are an idiot! My friend Whaler agrees with this btw. You for the AAC at a level that is breathtaking. I know SWNENWSW Southern State has a new coach but, UConn is a NE school!

This kid was Cooley's 'Precious'... and the 3rd or 4th option for Texas & Florida. He simply went where he felt wanted the most.

Also top 50 players are 3rd and 4th options? You are an embarrassment to your fan base.

LMAO.. Sorry if I'm not drooling over said recruit to your liking..

You can take Cooley and that recruit... and I'll be perfectly content on the other side of the fence with Dan Hurley. As I was saying, there are levels.. (and nobody here would be content with Cooley's production on the court and in living rooms.)

He's not a Top 50 recruit. He's a 50-100.

You keep fluffing the nbe. Do you play any other sports in the nbe? I ask because I'm not aware of any others (outside of field hockey).

UConn is a major school that invests across the board in all sports. The nbe is a one-trick-pony and that lone sport is on shaky legs as the top coaches keep leaving for greener pastures, and almost every nbe roster this year has suffered major turnover. The talent attrition the league has seen this year is unprecedented (along with the number of transfers that conference is taking in to patch up the departures).

So you got a recruit that has been getting some moderate interest from Southern schools. Congrats.. I don't know what that has to do with UConn, since UConn is after bigger fish.​

Stunted, so this kid is a 3rd option for other schools than PC?

Stunted, PC plays men's hockey as well but it's not in the American so it may not count. Stop making a fool of yourself son.

Talent attrition? You are aware that 2 out of the last 3 years the NC came from the BE? Please stop, you even embarrass the homers here. It has to do with mr.a k o k stunted

He wasn't Shaka's priority and he wasn't Mike White's priority. Providence was all-in on that kid to the extent that Jeff Battle was following him to the urinals.

Again, Congrats.

 
So a 4 star player ranked in the top 60 on multiple sites was only PC's priority? That comment is why nobody takes you serious here.

I'm talking about revenue sports. Football is the primary sport that moves the needle when it comes to television contracts.

With a TV contract negotiation set to commence in February of 2019, UConn made a very smart choice to keep football (and those ESPN windows that the nbe didn't fight for). The exposure and the subsequent ratings success and on-field success (3 NY6 wins in 5 years) of the football league has put UConn in a much better position for the long term.

It's 3 dimensional chess. Meanwhile the AAC has stacked the MBB conference with Dan Hurley, Gregg Marshall, Mick Cronin, Johnny Dawkins, Kelvin Sampson, Aaron McKie, Penny Hardaway, Frank Haith, Tim Jankovich, Brian Gregory, Joe Dooley, and Mike Dunleavy. Its been a build that has taken time but is now solidifying nicely with recruits like Precious, Watford, Wiseman, etc, projected to enter the league.

Let's see how this plays out, shall we? Lets see how Mullin, Ewing, Leaitao, Woji, Travis Steele, Cooley, Wright, McDermitt, Willard, and LaVall Jordan do.. It seems that many of them have to get some age on their rosters and fast.

I'm fine with letting these leagues develop. I believe the nbe has seen its better days. I believe any difference after the new hires is minimal. And I'm definitely far from impressed with the audience the nbe has drawn on FS1 television. (its chess, not checkers)

LOL Novas Natty was all that came out of that league in March... Congrats to them.

Okay, I will say it. You are insane. Please at least tell me you live on the West Coast.

He’s 50-60. Give credit where it’s due.

As opposed to all that came out of the AAC? Listen , I really don't want to go there because I think our schools should be in the same league or at least play each year but you are at a level of delusion that is unprecedented even for the boneyard.

Already congratulated the Friar.
I never heard of the kid till today, so if I'm not worked up over a rating right now you'll have to pardon me. It seems that Florida and Texas were the other programs keeping an eye on him.

I congratulated you Friar... You seem to want to keep this going.

The AAC probably would've had 5 bids this year if Dawkins/Tacko/Taylor played together at UCF and if Milton/Foster played all year for the Ponies.
That's with zero production from UConn and Memphis... who just so happen to have hired coaches who have made significant strides since March.

Again... I'm more than happy to let these leagues mature. The nbe has a bunch of coaches who are homer hires that haven't done a dang thing... except for Jay Wright... (and he just lost all his major players)

This is about $$$. There is nothing at the end of the rainbow to have Providence as a conference mate. That was a death knell.
 
@whaler11 is this guy for real? We have our go arounds but this dude is crazier than Carl.

Seriously... He's a Carolina kid.
ECU will start getting some of these guys that the big boys in NC seemingly have zero interest in. Coach Chill will be all over guys like Gantt.

Not at all. Many people said the same about Providence before that silver-tongued devil Cooley came aboard.

Cooley lucked into Cotton, who by the way didn't a single offer (let alone an ECU offer) when he committed - to take Joseph Young's spot, when Young took that Houston offer.
 
This has been fun, Friar.. But its getting late. Enjoy your recruit and remember not to take it too much to heart if he decides to take a better offer, like Joseph Young did.
