We are the last of his four official visits, so hopefully he makes it there and we can seal the deal!

Gotta like batting last. Hopefully the team will be 2+ more months along in development.

If Dan Hurley can pull off a big turnaround this year, and have a couple players break out, that will be HUGE for recruiting going forward.

Sweet!

Bet he doesn't make it out of VA Tech. Still super impressive what this staff has accomplished on the recruiting trail, considering the tools they were given.

Four-star Anthony Harris is beginning to set visits

Just making his final 4 is a nice surprise. I thought we were out of the hunt!

Same here. Hell, this is a quote from Harris not even two weeks ago: The schools in serious contention for official visits? “Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Miami, Indiana, Georgia, I might be missing one,” he said of his core group.

Guess we know which one he was missing.

Interesting notes on an ex-Husky recruit below the ones on Harris. Baptiste transferring from Vandy to UMass for more playing time while noting the Minutemen are a “top 30 program “ in the country. McCall is a good sales guy huh?

Kid is a Dwight Howard stunt double. I mean how bad could he possibly be? What is he like unable to dribble a ball?

Must have meant top 30 in New England.

I believe he was referring to the academics -- here's the entire quote "UMass is also a top 30 school in the country and I’ll be able to get a good graduate program. Education is something I’m taking serious after my career.” This lines up with UMass being #29 on US News & World Report for top public universities of which UConn is #18.

Unlike this intelligent young man I was thinking basketball I take it back thanks for the clarity.

I would feel better at the #2 or #3 spot...not #4...that's a lot of OVs to survive through....

The assistant coach who is recruiting him to Wake Forest was just placed on administrative leave after killing a man.

1) What school was the other guy recruiting him to?

2) Not reporting spousal abuse getting you administrative leave, I get; shouldn't killing a man result in something a little harsher? Must be without pay.....

I read the article on the death. The coach allegedly stepped into a situation where a drunk was harassing drivers at 1:30 AM thinking they were the Uber he called and after he knocked on the windows of the coach's car the coach punched him in the face, the drunk fell back and hit his head on the pavement, and later died. Some of the witnesses apparently were supportive of the coach.
