[uconnblueinky]

I can digg it

mines would be and in no order

Ray / Rashad / Hawkins / Gordon / Shabazz

these guys had it all range, spot up, on the move, consistency & clutch

Do you think Giffey is on there somewhere?

Wes Balasuknia ( spelling?) was as good as any at UConn.

Most people on here never saw what the Poughkeepsie popper could do.

Sounds like the Rudy Gay recruitment. Maryland was in his backyard but Rudy said Calhoun came to watch him play in high school many times and Gary Williams never did.

I think if that's true, it's actually incompetence and laziness. Rudy Gay, top 5 player, and you never see him. Woodson, on the other hand, just gave up. Didn't want to deal with Hurley. If he tried harder, it would have hurt even more.

Woodson may have overestimated NIL was worth to Mullins.

I was thinking the exact same thing when this news broke. I can't really think of any new category, except we are now the bluest of the blue bloods.

I've noted this before, it's not a matter of how highly ranked the recruits are, but how well they are developed, how well they perform and how much they contribute to winning. Teams win championships, not individuals, nor individual recruiting classes.

I really don't care if UConn wins the recruiting crown. It's the staff getting the players they think are the best for the program and being the last team standing when it counts most.

I have said it before and I will say it again, UConn is the best college basketball program in the modern era (since NCAAT went to 64 teams in 1985).

They are the Gold Blood, while Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Kansas are the Blue Bloods.

Great article. Good insight on his recruitment, his UConn visit and overall thought process.
He wants to be challenged and he knows that UConn is the right place for that.

Honestly, probably not just from a volume standpoint. Niels, due to not really playing a lot until his senior year, attempted 209 3's in four years. Most of the guys on the initial list did that in multiple seasons and shot it at a very nice clip. To me its akin to saying Hilton is one of our all-time best shot blockers when he really only did it for one season. Now he was great in that one season. But he doesn't measure up to Okafor, Thabeet, Donyell, etc.

...so do Wes Bialosuknia and Bob Staak from the pre-three point line era. Both probably would have had point totals 15-20% higher.

Hurley really loves this kid.

 

[RuffRuff]

What an awesome video - chills worthy stuff. Awesome induction into the UConn family. How can a kid not get fired up for this?! Creative genius getting our HOF shooter to narrate.

Duke has that whole brotherhood thing that they tout, maybe we go with the Wolf Pack!! Welcome Braylon.
