2020 Recruiting: Cam Thomas Sets OVs (UConn in mix)

[QuickDraw]

I remember a #2 ranked UConn team with Ray Allen, Donny Marshall, Doron Sheffer, Kevin Ollie, Travis Knight, Kirk King, etc losing by 29 to Kansas (Jan 28, 1995). Very talented teams sometimes do get blown out by 30 or close to it.

The dam chanting, I can still hear it.
Cam is the prize of the class if we can land him

We played that game at Phog Allen. I always wondered why KU didn't return the favor and play us at Gampel.

They did play UConn but it was at HCC. UConn probably made that call to sell more tickets

I don’t think that’s true. I’m pretty sure it was at Kemper.......doubleheader w the women’s team.

 

[Dooooooomed]

DO NOT SCHEDULE IT DURING A FOOTBALL HOME GAME.

Kansas played UConn at HCC? When? They lost to Kansas in January of '94 or '95. They did not play KU the next year if I remember correctly. Usually you play a team at their home court, they return the favor the next year...

Nah. We did not lose to KU two in a row. And I don't remember beating KU. They never returned the favor.

Mayhaps. I just remember it was away and in January.

1997

Freshman Rip was running point if I remember correctly, we hung with them for most of it while severely undermanned.

 

[Robertelamin]

I think Kirk King and Ricky Moore were suspended for the 1997 game.

 

[scoscox]

LSU and Auburn...

yea. thought the same thing. never a good pair to be competing with. and even though mick is there now, ucla has never been above handing out checks under the table either

UVA for Geronimo

but but but they're already getting a better SF with JAR!

blind speculation- trending towards a 2-recruit class of richmond and cardwell. crossing our fingers gilbert comes back next year, and signing 4 guys for 2021.

Things are always changing and the crystal ball isn’t gospel. Gotta chill and let things develop

Not a bad crystal ball strategy if you don't know where he's going is to just pick the first visit.

 

[HuskyHawk]

No we didn't. It was at Kemper in KC. I was in the arena.

UVA just had a scholarship open up, too. They were done with '20 until this week when someone left the team

Geronimo and Bridges were both misses by Slater recently. Makes me feel better about Cam.
