2023 Recruiting: Cam Spencer

It’s so cringey to watch people who were fed bad info continue to simp the insiders

Seriously, how many times do we need to see this happen to know the "insiders" are getting bad info or no info? This is like the 5th time I can think of that we have a player committing who doesn't commit or a player who had a great visit when he probably wasn't even on campus yet.

I wasn't trying to accuse you of lying about it. I was just confused. Zags also reported that Spencer was visiting over the weekend. Seems like no one had the right timeline?

Absolutely cool .. did not take that way at all. I had bad info on Timberlake just a few weeks back.. is what it is...
Why i said for few years. Take with a grain of salt..

This staff is very tight-lipped. Real info is mostly coming from the players themselves or coaches.

99 and Zion are not fake insiders. We do have a few though.

Isn’t 99 an ultimate frisbee guy too? Hmmm. Is Zags your source!
 
Not crazy to think he started his visit by being with his teammates and seeing the campus, and now that the staff is back on campus and running live drills, he’s started his visit “officially.”

I don’t blame them for sharing what they hear. 99 is being a great guy and being accountable so what more can you ask for? I just laugh at the people on this board who take every little rumor as gospel

I've learned a crap ton more from 99, 429, Matrim and others who try to keep us informed than I'll ever learn from the posters complaining about mistaken insiders; so there's that...and always do as 99 says and take it with a grain of salt.
 
I want to state unequivocally on the record; I am not a fake insider. Every one of my hot leads has been verified completely.

(but then I'm not a real insider either. I know I don't know crap about recruiting so I never speak on recruiting.)

Everyone should know that for the most part that there is so much that goes into how intel is released. Leaking misinformation has and probably always will be the best way to not reveal the true intentions. Hurley made a pretty big statement today, I will take him on his word. After his comments I feel pretty confident we will see a new face or two before the season starts.

Passing along tidbits is kind of a no-win scenario. When you're right, everybody's thrilled about the new add , or whatever, but if something doesn't end up happening, you're a fraud.

Posters on The Boneyard just need to relax and be grateful people share whatever information they have.

yeah that sums it up. And I would add people here shouldn't count their chickens before they hatch. Nothing is certain, whether it's conference realignment or a recruit committing to the school until the official offer is publicly made to the school (conference realignment) or the LOI is signed (recruiting).

Us UConn fans should know all about that. Sanogo was predicted to go to Seton Hall and Kevin Willard thought for sure he was getting him. Willard got really mad when Sanogo changed his mind and chose UConn.

Shareef Abdur Rahim was rumored to be very close to the coaching staff and players at Georgia Tech. He was surely going there, right? Wrong, he chose Cal. Stephon Marbury was "certain" to go to Syracuse until he didn't and instead chose Georgia Tech.

Nothing is certain until things finish and become official.

I will pat myself on the back here, but it's why I was disappointed but not heartbroken, per se, when Nicolas Timberlake decided on Kansas even though insiders here thought he would go to UConn. Don't be mad at the insiders, things change. Until Timberlake officially signed the LOI for UConn a person can't assume it's a done deal, well, because it isn't.

I don't think I've shared a piece of real info publically in like a year. Leave me out of it, lol. All I'm good for is having too much free time to watch poorly produced high school basketball games.

Maybe losing Timberlake was a blessing. If we get him, I think Spencer is a better player who has played against high level competition and had some success. But it seems certain we will be adding someone.

I'm sure a lot of us appreciate you here on The Boneyard. You have some serious depth to your knowledge of basketball, and you have a great love for the game, it is easy to see.
 
There’s way more people white knighting the insiders than actual criticism. I think y’all are the ones that need to relax.

I saw Tom Moore in Norwalk Saturday afternoon. With Tom & Hurley both not on campus, that would seem odd they had their top offseason priority visiting while they were not on campus...?

Was he down in Norwalk for UConn or on his own time?
