One writer doesn't say it is happening today (he didn't even say it wasn't happening) and this place loses faith in the surplus of sources we have that say it is...I see we practiced our worrisome ways over the long weekend.
Just do what I do, check back every 20 minutes.

Thanks for asking, nyc. No on Florida.
Upon getting out of the Champions Center sewer I became violently ill. Spent the weekend in bed.

Hope you feel better. The good news is it appears Fleud has you covered until you get back on your feet.

“Connecticut is one of the strong considerations,” Michael Lipman,Brown’s legal guardian, told SNY.tv by phone on Tuesday.
“I think you have a head coach, Kevin Ollie, that is a flat-out great coach. He has developed Andre Drummond. We have to find a system that is a good fit academically and a good fit for a big man, and that is going to showcase his offensive skills. And you need a team that’s going to compete while he’s there for the national championship.”
Lipman also mentioned that Brown already has a bond with 2016 UConn commit Alterique Gilbert, a point guard.
“He played with Alterique Gilbert in the [Nike] Global Games and they won the whole thing,” Lipman said. “The two of them were tremendous. You need a strong one, you need a system that’s going to build around the big man. Kevin Ollie and his staff are just tremendous.”
Lipman also listed Miami, Kentucky, N.C. State, South Carolina and Florida among the school recruiting Brown.
Miami will come in for a school visit on Wednesday and N.C. State comes in Saturday.
“We’re going to go through the process,” Lipman said, adding that Brown is in no rush to make a decision. “We’re focused on getting better, developing.”
Miami remains strongly in the mix, too.
“I’m very impressed with Coach L and UM [Jim Larranaga],” Lipman said. “They’re in our back yard. He’s done an incredible job with the program.”
Lipman also said he hears regularly from the Kentucky staff. They are also working on a visit to Kentucky for the end of October.
“We were planning on doing a visit to Kentucky, but I had a conflict,” Lipman said. “I was going to do it during the Breeders’ Cup. I wanted to do it the last week of October. We’re working on that.”

The message board rumors of a Zach Brown commitment to UConn do not seem to be in the cards today.

It sounds like Miami and NC State are throwing a Hail Mary here. The fact that they're rushing down to see him this week supports the idea that he's ready to commit to UConn, and they're hoping they can get him to hold off. I don't think it's going to work, but that's just spec on my part. Hopefully this is resolved within a few days.

Well, it will be interesting if these in-home visits take place. These coaches now know (if they didn't already) exactly who they need to beat out so the negative recruiting will be in full force. I get the feeling that it's not going to work, however.
