“Amazing zoom call” let the professional analysts surmise what that means if anything ?

This was posted 2 minutes ago, how has Ricker not "liked" it yet?

The ‘22 class has a lot of talent from the northeast. Feels like it’s going to be a huge class.

Loving the guys we've reached out to this past week. Even if we can't close on all of them (and expecting that to happen would be crazy), they're all perfect fits and fill holes on this roster

@Ricker do you have a list of guys who should be eating crow?

Murray's first offer as a UConn coach potentially?

 

[MDHuskFan]

His good guy announcement is a lot more enthusiastic than the others.
Better yet, look at all his announcements & see which one looks different....

 

[HooperScooper]

Boom! There we go. My son is going to be excited about this.

Great to see that only one was amazing!

Smart offer. He was leaning Indiana when Miller was there, but he’s gone. Looks like he was pumped to get the offer. Wouldn’t shock me if he’d prefer to go to school in New England, but he is IMG bound so he’ll have a lot of eyes on him.

Good fit with Clingan too (hypothetically).

And of course, cheers to my guy @Ricker

Murray just recently followed Karaban, Clingan, and Flipowski on instagram. Glad to see him going at it already. Big fan of all 3 players.

Also followed a player named Brandon Miller who I have never heard of. Miller also followed by Rahsool and Hawkins

 

[HuskyHoosier]

Does his game compare to freemantle at all from X?

Oh, and the answer is no before anyone asks if I'm asking simply because of....

Also Gavin Griffiths and TJ Power who are both 2023 recruits

I should have done this all in one post, but I keep seeing more, he also followed Taylor Bol Bowen from Brewster Academy

Miller is a 5 star forward Murray was recruiting at UoL.

Karaban is more of a wing than Freemantle. He has the size the play the 4, but he's more of a downmarket version of Dougie McBuckets than Freemantle.

The end this tweet sums him up well. As you said, more wing skills than Freemantle has (handle, wiggle, etc).

 

[jdb50]

Nice range on his 3 point shot and it is not like he is heaving it up there. It looks like he is shooting a free throw. Good handle for a 6'8" player on the drives.

 

[kansashusky]

Love this offer.

I'm having a lot of this vibe right now

I will get to see him and Donovan at a local Kansas City tournament here this weekend.

A couple of other interesting ones as well. One that caught my eye was class of 23 Reid Ducharme. No big offers yet, but he just transferred to Brewster and his sister will be playing for Geno next year . Looks like a talented offensive player in his highlights.

let's say we get clingan. is it an either/or situation b/w karaban and flip?

i had assumed hurley would bring in another G along with floyd (e.g. justice/rice/hand) but karaban at SF could work

operating under the assumption 2022 is a 4 player class for now
