@NBESports: @MattWhitNBE talked to Brandone Francis this am at the #Top100Camp. Francis says UConn is recruiting him the hardest.

Heard Louisville is the dark horse here.

not really a darkhorse, them and UF have been mentioned as the favorites. Louisville recently hired Mike Balado as an assistant coach, he has ties to the DR and helped Francis land at a HS in FL.

2014 shooting guard Brandone Francis of Arlington Country Day (FL) - One of the top spring stock boosters, Francis is on the cusp of becoming a true combo guard once he tightens up his handle. His long-range shot is really coming around and starting to become one of the bigger strengths in his game. Francis is at his best in the open court when attacking the rim in transition. Quick, yet strong and physical, it's a perfect combination when slashing to the rim. Right now, he is being pursued the hardest by Louisville, Florida, Oklahoma State, Florida State, Miami and UConn. The Cardinals recently offered, and the Huskies have been the most persistent for him. His father, former Boston College standout Bobby Francis, lives in Boston and has a close relationship with second-year UConn coach Kevin Ollie. With the goal of deciding in August, some believe Florida has a very good shot at his services. Francis claims that's not the case, and that he is wide open right now. They do have the advantage of him living an hour away from campus, however.

He does not sound like the pure point guard that many of us are looking for (like that matters), but he seems to be shooting up the rankings.

I was sleeping on this kid initially, but he's gotten a lot better since the first time I saw him. Seems to be a lot more durable with a stronger handle for sure. His size was always a plus.

Big strong guard........has a nice elbow jumper and a decent handle.........wouldn't hurt that's for sure

Wow, nothing but great news with 2014 recruiting.

Not a natural PG but hes a stud I would take him in a second. However nearly everyone thinks hes a done deal to Florida.

I dont know who fills out our 2014 class, but I'm confident it will be a great one.

It seems a lot of recruiting battles are coming down to UConn vs. Florida. This game in December may carry some implications.

One other thing I think we are very involved with Kameron Chatman. He doesnt get talked about much but hes great friends with Hamilton.

I've been told that Francis is most likely being recruited as a SG. He also has been looking like a great prospect who's on touching his ceiling. Another thing is that he also may be replacing Ahmed Hill as the staffs SG prospect.

I would take Chatman in a heartbeat, and yes we are involved him. This interview was 2 weeks ago

 

[Hoophound]

Gotta ask...is this kid's name pronounced "Brandon" or Brand one"?

i like how recruits noticed what Ollie did last year with the tournament ban. i have a feeling recruits respect him for that
