It shows us as #6 for me, although we are the 7th team down since they list Professional as a team. I do see 7 on the Connecticut team page though now

The last two guys we were both involved with picked Rutgers. We historically often find ourselves involved with the same players, but how can you not consider them competition under Pike?
It's ok to admit they have a decent program nobody here will tell them I promise.
Because of what’s coming in maybe?
The mere mention of University of Florida basketball makes me smile as I think about Scottie Wilbekin. So hyped and beloved by the Florida faithful. Yet we broke his spirit in 2014. A thoroughly enjoyable beatdown. Go Huskies!!!

Hubris is a dangerous thing.
Statements like never or wont ever or always quite often come back and bite the author on the backside.
Rutgers, under Pikiell can absolutely become a threat, especially if they use some of their vastly superior resources to build a new arena and practice facility.

And we still ended up with the better players. Hurley actually prioritized Sanogo over cliff if I remember correctly. I also recall us backing off of Griffiths early. They’re not a threat. We’re not competing with Rutgers at anything. Yes they’re a decent program. But we’re not competing with decent programs.

This staff is the king of “in hindsight”
They deserve & have earned a great deal of confidence

I disagree. I think Hurley is the bonafide carpenter in not only building the roster but also his coaching staff. Birds of a feather flock together! I don’t remember how many times I heard this, be it from players, recruits, families, since Hurley took the helm.
On to Timberlake, his decision likely had more to do with personality/competitiveness not aligned with Hurley, coaching staff and current huskies than $$$ from Kansas.

“Cam is the perfect addition to our basketball program,” UConn Coach Dan Hurley said. “He brings a unique combination of high-level skill and feel for the game, with a fierce competitiveness that has allowed him to enjoy a terrific college basketball career thus far.”
“Cam is a big-time shooter who also handles and passes well, while playing a disruptive style of defense,” Hurley said. “We cannot wait to get Cam integrated into our basketball family. His veteran leadership will be a welcome benefit.”

Ok, this is kind of funny…
“I won’t lie to you, I actually boycotted the tournament because I thought we should have gotten in as a team,” said Spencer, referring to Rutgers. “I went back and watched all their games after the tournament.”
So, what impressed Spencer about the Huskies?
“The main thing was their chemistry on the court as a team,” Spencer said. “They were nine deep last year. Just how many guys they had who could contribute and just how connected they were as a team on both ends of the floor, that was really intriguing for me.”

Feels like this staff has an abnormal hit rate after visits. Still remember Andres quote about how he took the visit for the sake of it and didn’t think it would make a difference in his recruitment. He had the exact same experience as Spencer, saying he knew by the end of it this was where he needed to be. That always stuck out to me.

I just saw that Paul Mulcahey is in the portal as well. I feel for Coach Pikiell as he was snake bitten with injuries last year and now is enduring all of these seniors moving on after the portal is closed.

Can we find another Joey C ? His value as a shooter off the bench, and moxie helped the team alot. Big time portal get by the staff out of nowhere. Hoping we get another late surprise.
