April Live Period Updates

[Stainmaster]

Gibbs is the big name on the NJ Playaz, while Japhet-Mathias is the target for us with PSA.

Looks like SJM will not be available to see.

Good catch. Only other player on the roster I've heard us involved with is Unique McLean: http://www.d1circuit.com/page/show/1642456-psa-cardinals-nyc-?subseason=209505

But I think he's well down our list.

Where else would a guy named Glen Miller go but to New Orleans?

Let's hope he's in the mood to put in work and make progress on some guys.

 

[Chief00]

We are definitely among his top couple right now, may even lead. Everyone needs to let Ollie prioritize who he wants. We will be fine.

Quite frankly, I hope we start "leading" at the end of the process not just at the beginning. We have gone this route a few times now. Whatever we are doing to close ain't working.

 

[Chief00]

I think Miller is a hard worker - just don't think we have him in the right roles - Bigs Coach - Not; Ace Recruiter - Not.

@coreyevans_10: Jay Wright, Kevin Ollie, Tony Bennett, Archie Miller, along with asts from Nwestern and Kentucky here for City Rocks and Expressions

V.J. King is also in that game on the opposing team.

those kids are a year/two years from now? what are you thinking about us and them?

 

[Husky25]

Maybe Ollie should hire Travis Knight. He was in the NBA for a few years.

 

[Matrim55]

King is a 2016 & Brown is a 2017.

We are supposedly in very strong with both kids, but Brown especially. They were both here in October for first night (or whatever it's called now). King got a picture taken with Ray and he was grinning ear-to-ear, while Brown plays for Natambu's AAU team and has frequently posted pics of himself in UConn schwag.

As always, the best policy is to believe nothing until they're officially enrolled.

Unless you hear it at the carwash

I will be here until Tuesday. Keep the intel coming...

Is VJ King still out? Wonder if that could actually help UConn?

 

[3uconn]

Ollie and Miller are at the Adidas Gauntlet.

 

[Matrim55]

Ollie and Miller are at the Adidas Gauntlet.

Very interesting, since two of our top 2016 targets and our top 2017 target are all at EYBL. Just another example of how little we all truly know about what's going on in recruiting.

My guess is that Ollie will fly to EYBL later.

Alterique Gilbert is on court 1 right now

 

[Matrim55]

Of course. But starting out at adidas sends a message to someone. Wonder who.

Alterique Gilbert is on court 1 right now

He isn't #3 who looks like he is 4'10" with heels - kid is quick but looks like a dwarf???

Shawnta Rogers' kid. He picked up an offer from Towson recently.

He was there all last weekend. Ollie has to spend time watching other targets as well. After a while once a recruit noticed that a head coach hasn't watched them at all they know they aren't that big of a priority at all. My guess is he leaves after tonight or tomorrow to go the second EYBL session.

Watching Vance Jackson...From what I understand from looking at @3uconn Twitter feed
