Borges: UConn not done recruiting 2019

[Madmannsucks]

Well maybe you should stay in your lane bro...

I agree Madmann somewhat..., for my part, post whatever you want, including whining about another poster, but then don't cry when you get called out for it, particularly if you are drone on about it repeatedly.

"Jimmy is a jerk" is fine, I guess, but "Jimmy is a jerk and I'm going keep posting it until you all agree with me" gets old fast.

That post would be ok, if you used a different name.
Love
Jimmy.

are we still recruiting him? staff is very familiar with PSA but havent seen jamal mentioned here recently.

i'm optimistic about andre jackson but where cam thomas and niels lane wind up is anyone's guess at this point...

if we miss on thomas and lane but can still land a 4* SG like jamal it would be the ideal consolation prize (he's ranked 88 on the 247 composite with offers from florida, notre dame, ohio state, among others)

as far as name recognition goes he definitely looks better than sam cassell jr!

Were out on him. Haven’t been mentioned with him all season.

He's 6ft tall and can't pass the rock. Not sure we have much of a rol for him the way Hirley wants to construct the team

so we have 8 top 150 targets still in play for 2020 with 3 (maybe 4) open schollys?

SG
Thomas and Lane
SF
Jackson
PF
Ware and Springs
C
Cliff, Hugley, and Cardwell

hypothetically speaking, if we miss on cam and niels do we bank a scholly for 2021 or do we double dip at Center or PF?

Too many unknowns for now. Is AG staying 2020? Is Springs going to already be here? Is Polley looking to have a breakout Sr year after a nice improvement Jr? Is Sid now an impact player? Is everyone healthy?

I still think if you look at the possibilities they should be thinking 2 big men, whether it be 4 & 5 or 2 solid 4's they need to get bigger. Need another shooter it would seem. A lot depends on 2019-20 but you are in the right direction I think with the double dip!

Agreed. So much isn’t known. How are the freshmen? Anybody make a leap like Carlton did last season? Is AG staying? Obviously Cam and a center mean anything else is gravy. Even Niels and a center is solid in terms of filling needs.

Thinking out loud, part of the appeal of Springs may involve staggering Bigs in different classes.

for sure, if springs reclassifies and gilbert comes back for 2020 then we'll technically only have 2 spots to fill. that's the kind of low-stress recruiting year i'm hoping for.

confident we can land jackson and cardwell. optimisitc about lane and hugley. ideally it's cam and cliff.
