Barrett choosing Duke or Kentucky would be a boost here.

Could see Barrett and/or Bagley going to Duke. Would cover them at the 3 and 4. Also, Shittu crystal ball is going heavy to Kentucky today, and he is a similar player to Reddish as well. Zion Williamson could also be UK bound as well. If those guys got to Duke and UK and that spurns Reddish from those schools then I honestly don't hate our chances vs Nova and UCLA.

You make it sound like UConn has closed multiple top 10 guys in recent years. Rudy was our last one in '04...

Nobody is overhyping making his top 5, but it's certainly noteworthy and good to see.

Drummond was a top 5 player for sure - reclass or not.

Your really wrong on that one......Daniel Hamilton and Drummond were both top 10 in the same year.........and plenty more.

I'm not saying top 5-10 that have committed to us, but simply putting us in there "top 5" that so many of these kids like to do....

We are (were) UConn. We should be on at least 80% of "top 5" every year.

Show me where Hamilton was ever top 10.

The same year? Uh, no.

Pretty sure DHam was between 15 and 19.

And I'm also pretty sure there haven't been "plenty more."
 
DeAndre Daniels had an RSCI ranking of 32, he was highly regarded but his top 10 ranking by Meyer was an outlier

I think he means Deandre Daniels. Rivals actually did have him at #10 in the 2011 class (Rivals.com). Nobody else had him that high.

Edit: I researched this and posted it while aceboon was posting his.

Think everyone with a Twitter should start Tweeting stuff at him. May be stupid but showing all the support from UConn could be just a small thing to make a kid feel really wanted and realize he can be part of a school that not only produces great players but wins championships. Tweet him and give him a reason why UConn should be it. Lose nothing by trying!
 
We are either odd man out or he's ours based on the uniform colors he's wearing in the tweet. Also Paul is dead

Hamilton ranked as high as 9 according to 247

Good to know he had that ranking at one time. I would point out though that the article was written on February 13. Hamilton was a junior at the time. By this standard, if we go 2 years out, Vance Jackson is a top 15 player

Go read his mentions, people are tweeting at him and it looks ridiculous. At the same time I'm sure some players use that as a factor in picking schools, all about "shine"

Shittu and Reddish are not similar players. Where one goes will have no impact on the other

Our program has really reached mid major status when we are having an aneurism over making a top 10 recruits "top 5"
Expand ...
No aneurysm ..........those 4 schools are nice company to keep.....depends on what the kid wants for his one year, hard to beat Duke / KY for 1 & done's but that rule may change soon.
 
Yeah, for whatever reason my brain messed up and I put nova in the P5. My point is the same, they're two years off of a championship and consistently make deep runs.

Consistently?

Since 2010, they went out in the first weekend 6 times.
Since 1990, Villanova has only made it to the second weekend 3 times. 3!!!!

I don't see how they are any different from UConn. In fact, since 2010, UConn has made deep runs 2x, Villanova only once.
 
You know - Reddish has spoken very highly of Ollie for awhile now. I said awhile back that at some point it wouldn't surprise me if a top guy just falls in love with Ollie and really connects with him. I'm not saying we're a front runner by any means, but glad we've gotten this far. Hope we can reel this kid in.

Lets hope that's the case here . I sat next to Reddish and his mom (unaware at the time) at the senior day game vs cinci last year. Herbst talked to them prior to the game thanking them for being there and said unfortunately we are having a rough season and the game was going to be difficult. Both didn't seem overly enthusiastic being at the game.

I just can't see him not going to Duke

Yeah he needs to fact check. Before his national championship that was jay wrights and to a degree novas biggest flaw. Putting together some good to great seasons and falling flat in the tournament. If they have been consistent for anything it is the fact that they are consistently my high seed that I put as getting upset in my brackets come march madness.
 
Killer Cam is taking his 5 official visits this fall and then deciding shortly thereafter. This is the time that Ollie needs to show that he can recruit and how much of a people person and how much mothers of recruits love him.
Obviously Zion Williamson committing to Kentucky and RJ Barrett committing to Duke would help our cause tremendously as well.

Cam's father went to VCU, could be a Jeremy Lamb scenario here and we should be using that as well.

Lastly, Jim Calhoun along with Ollie should dial a couple of our legends for Cam's official visit: Ray Allen should be there and Rip, and hopefully Andre to show not only our NBA pedigree but the family aspect of the program. Markelle Fultz is close by maybe Coach Chillious can call him up for a favor to come practice with the guys that day. This could put us over the top.

PS: Montez committing could be a harbinger of good things to come

Nothing new, we are always in this position. Need to seal the deal with some of these kids.

One, how about just one of these kids. KO rebounded well after the tumultous Spring, and set us well for a good comeback year and the future - but we just need a Top guy to commit and kick open the front door for more. So we can get back to somewhat selecting instead of recruiting like back in the hey days. We need to turn the worm, sorta speak.

I'm satisfied with just being in him and simi's top 5. It proves we are still relevant
Expand ...

While not 'satisfied', I'm pleased. We still make a lot of kids lists. It's not good enough of course, but it's important we remain a name school. Especially after this offseason and last year.

It's imperative to remain in the same sentence as UK, Duke, UCLA, Nova, and places like Kansas, Zona, et al.
