Borges: UConn not done recruiting 2019

Anyone know why Spring’s rank history has trended down over time?

He had a bad April and fell out of the ESPN 100, and since you’re either top 100 or unranked on ESPN, falling out of the top 100 really hurts your composite ranking.


He averaged 13/13/1.4 BLK at Peach Jam. Definitely not the most consistent player, sometimes doesn’t look too athletic, but then next thing you know he’s grabbing 15 boards and throwing down haymakers like this https://twitter.com/slam_hs/status/1153784144981192704?s=21

At the bottom of the article it said UConn is not looking for another high level OCC game - the OOC schedule is good enough despite only really having one good OOC home game (Florida)
Now with seat donations combined with ticket costs bringing many seats in excess of $100 a game - why don’t these business clowns understand that they need to do the Home OOC segment slice and judge it’s appeal? Paying $100 a seat for NJIT and Maine etc without an appealing offset brings you to one of the reasons their home attendance and hence gate revenue has declined.

They don't care anymore. The Big East will sell more tickets down the road.

247 dropped him 45 spots on 6/15/19, this was after he was one of the breakout players at the Dallas EYBL event.

lol I couldn't think of anything better than where I lived last year

Side note, dont think it be worth wasting a scholarship on Springs, good player but not great. Call me optimistic but Hurley and staff are excellent recruiters I think the waiting game will pan out better. This isnt our year going back to Big East in 2 with our best player (imo Rique) will be heading into his senior season that'll be our breakout, we have a history doing well when our star players are senior guards too;)

That’s a very fair point. I think if his stock was falling, it’s hard for one weekend to save him. His Macduffie numbers were modest too last winter, which I’m sure didn’t help either. And one gripe I have with him is that even in the post, he seems like he can only score by facing up. No footwork/low post back to basket based scoring.

I think he’d be a solid addition to the program. Nothing earth shattering, but we need depth and he could be a big part of the team as a junior/senior.

If you were to compare him to similarly ranked commits we’ve gotten like Polley or Carlton, he was a way bigger part of more of a successful EYBL team than Carlton was for his Boo Williams team or Polley’s E1T1 team. Probably not a shocker lol.. but that gives me a little more hope.

Blessed to live in Charter Oak in 13 and 14. It paid to have older friends. Had a lot of buddies in Busby too. Best part of campus to live.
