I smiled cuz I see where you're going with your comparison, but Brad Pitt has won an Oscar for best supporting actor and had 3 other nominations.

I just watched The Last of the Mohicans the other night. Daniel Day Lewis master class

Are you trying to promote On3 so we'll all get subscriptions?

I mean I get the clickbait aspect but 20% confidence? That doesn't seem like something to brag about, no?

At least he picked us

20% is prob trusted hearsay, above 50% direct sourcing

If we actually land that 4 man class aside from Furphy that would be the best recruiting class we ever had here(correct me if I am wrong). How spoiled would we be?

The Donyell, Ollie, Rudy Johnson, Brian Fair, Donny Marshall class was #2 in the country. This would be right there with it.

Difference with the potential of this one is that it would be "4" top 25-35 guys. All of our other great classes had one star and then a bunch of guys in the 40-80 range.

Is it even that? Reibe has UConn in his final five schools. If he picked a school out of a hat, UConn has a 20% shot.

 

[awy]

pretty much all of uconn gets are underranked or have untapped upside. this years talent is elite and deep.

Rudy Johnson was #32 in the country, pretty sure Brian Fair and Ollie were also top 40 but can't find their rankings.

2006 was another good one- #18 Stanley Robinson, #30 Curtis Kelly, #36 Jerome Dyson, #55 Doug Wiggins, #64 Hasheem Thabeet.

2000 class with Taliek, Caron and Scott Hazelton was right there also. ESPN had it as the #1 class.

Yes!! That was the year of the NYC guards and the BE - Andre Barrett, Omar Cook and Taliek.

 

[Stasher599]

I definitely give the staff so much credit for their roster construction. Hurley is putting the other schools on notice this year that UConn will be a big player when he identifies a kid with talent and is a cultural fit. I don’t think he is getting 5 star happy but it’s nice to get those studs in the 15-25 range that will stay a couple years.

My guy Johnnie Selvie was also in that class as a JuCo.

I'd love to ask him his scoring rubric for differentiating between 20% and 25% confidence.

The whole recruiting tracking/trending world is a akin to witchcraft, tea leaves, numerology, tarot cards, and other bullpoopery. "Momentum is building"...like they are reporting on rocks rolling down a mountain.

It is amusing and entertaining, at least. Paying to access it is kinda goofy, but to each their own with disposable income.

No it doesn't. Do you ever carry an umbrella when there's a "20 percent chance of rain?" Neither do I.

Where art though WeAreUconn? It seems as though his prefrontal cortex stopped working in old age. Would love his take now two NCs later? Bad Uconnfan protection program?

He is a Duke lover

 

[Stasher599]

He is a Duke lover

Then he must really hate every minute of writing down UConn for all the recruits we were after. Hurley is in “Dynasty” mode.

 

[TheHorde]

The Indiana message boards are pretty entertaining right now. The Mullins/Reibe one was pretty funny, I’m not going to lie.
