Cam Thomas has to be the first choice. Maybe if we're in a good spot with Cam, Andre doesn't want to come here as well. Maybe that's the logic? I'm good with either of them, with a preference toward Cam.

Cam should be target #1 if we have a real chance. I'm not sure I don't prefer Lane to Jackson. I get why Hurley wants a defensive difference maker, but shooting is king.

My wish list:
1. a C. Cliff or Cardwell. Williams?
2. Cam > Jackson = Lane > Langford.

But what if the staff is keen on giving one spot to a C? Then they would have an impact on each other, no?

No, they’re planning on getting 3 commits still. I believe Borges even alluded to this last week in an article. It’s one over the allotment but they’re expecting a scholarship to free itself up one way or another.
 
can someone please handicap the accuracy of the Storrs Central recruiting tracker regarding our remaining targets:

i'm under the impression hurley isn't after a PG and that williams and hugley never got much attention, but obviously I could be way off the mark.

Point Guards:
curbelo
mane

Wings:
thomas
jackson
lane
langford
richmond

Bigs:
cliff
jaylin williams
hugley
cardwell
gray
brown-ferguson (if he reclassifies)

Muscadin for bigs and we haven’t been recruiting Langford since the winter

If we miss on Jackson, wouldn’t be surprised if we offer Jordan Geronimo.

i know this is taboo but since it's already out there...this must mean either gilbert does a grad-transfer (really hope not) or, wilson or adams leaves after this season.

dont think carlton, polley, or whaley would transfer and sit a year before their senior seasons in the big east, and none of the other guys have even played a game in a uconn jersey yet.

These guys are on campus 330 days a year. Any one of them could earn their degree in three years if they so desired. That would eliminate the transfer and sit and turn into the grad transfer and play rule.

Premature ejection of jackson from that list.

I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but I wouldn't be shocked if Gilbert looks to play professionally if he has a solid, injury-free season. If he can get paid after next year, I wouldn't blame him one bit for not risking injury at the college level once he has his degree.

I will actually be more surprised if his dues come back after graduating.

The part that's taboo is speculating on specific players transferring.

Per the Fruit website, Jackson announced he's gonna break the news on the 24th.

I still don’t understand why someone would put out a top 5 if a week later they supposedly made a decision on where they’re going to commit. Just commit already then.

He was all over the map last night. First he said he’s deciding on the 24th. Then he said idn prob the last week/before end of month. Then he said idn I’m just tired of being recruited mad annoying.

At least it will likely be over in the next 2 weeks.

I wouldn't call things a lock at all, but there is definitely chatter from a couple of the more plugged in guys.
 
i try not to get rapped up in these recruiting threads to much, but once in a while i get sucked in.. that being said, as i was trolling the interwebz for highlight videos i came across this gem..

full disclaimer, and for those of you that dont want to watch a 10 min video, i understand that he's not really playing any defense, but the fact that he did not have enough pride to play just a enough defense not to lose 2 out 3 games to a very random internet rapper -- (Johnny 2 Phones) that just happen to play some ball in high school, says all i need to know.. then Johnny 2 phones goes on to play the camera man, and gets waxed.. this video is probably why Jackson dropped 30 spots in rankings.. so guys, if we miss out on him.. don't feel that bad..lol
