2023 Recruiting: Cam Spencer

[FfldCntyFan]

Nobody has a cousin whose brother played AAU ball with him?

Wouldn't the cousin's brother also be a cousin?

Lol he winked for Timberlake. Let’s be real Matrim knows absolutely nothing.

Putting down insiders who are under no obligation to pass along any information because they aren’t perfect is something I’ll never understand. Yikes.

Lame

 

[Horatio]

Or a cousin who is a waiter or a busboy at Capital Grille?

Or local Car wash, wax technician?

He’s been wrong once and correct 100 other times. How many scoops have you revealed here?

Add sarcasm to the list of things you'll never understand as well.

I'm giving @Matrim55 a pass on Timberlake.. That NIL bag came out of nowhere at the last minute on Timberlake... He's still legit in my book.. NIL is a gamechanger predicting what these guys are goin' to do..esp. the transfer/portal scene.

Bad Take

 

[Umami Zen]

IMO..BB fit/PT for Spencer is at UConn.. If he wants to return to the West Coast (former LMU player) and hang out at Malibu.. Or hit South Beach in Miami.. Or tailgate in Norman.. Storrs may not "float his boat"..

Still think UConn ..For a Jersey kid who wants to play in the Garden.. Is the obvious choice.. We'll see if reason rules in his situation.

No worries he blocked me like 2 years ago so he can’t see this

Was he supposed to know that Kansas was going to basically give him a blank check at the 11th hour? Matrim has had a ton of good and accurate info in the past.

Here's the thing, even the coaches recruiting a player don't know with 100% certainty if they're getting the recruit or not until they get the final decision from the recruit. Most of the time the coaches have a pretty good idea where they stand with a recruit but there are times they think they have a kid and then get the bad news. It happens.

Put it this way, have you ever interviewed for a job and thought things were going great and you thought you would get an offer but then you didn't get the job? You were in the top 2 but in the end the employer chose their other top option.

Pretty sure the staff got duped by timerberlake (or should I say Kansas). Would love to have been a fly on the way in the war room when hurley got on the news

Cam Spencer went to Loyola in Baltimore. He's a Baltimore kid, his brother was a hooper and the best lacrosse player in the country.

Just wanted to say he actually went to Loyola Maryland, not Loyola Marymount so wouldn’t be returning to the west coast

Yes. Excellent logic. Everyone who isn’t right about everything knows absolutely nothing. Clearly, someone didn’t take Carollian logic at UConn.

I’m sure this is a trade Self is fine with. Would we be better with freshman Jordan Hawkins next year or Cam Spencer? And self can get the equivalent of sophomore Chris Johnson in the portal next year.

Why did they offer him if they really didn’t want him?

 

[BGesus4]

The same reason any coach recruits someone who they end up recruiting over. If they can make their team better in the moment most coaches usually do, regardless of what they’ve promised to or what is expected by other commits.

It sounds like we can agree to disagree on how this would look to other recruits.

Lets pray they don’t get involved late with Spencer.

247’s scouting report on Johnson is that his outside shot needs a lot of work. We recruited him but hard pass. We need a shooter

The rumor on the Kansas board is that this was a mutual decision. He moved to Monteverde this past season and had a really rough season. Didn't develop at all like they hoped and was not gonna see the court for Kansas

Mutual decision is reasonable. I’m glad for the young man that that’s the case.
