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

[Mike Honcho]

That's because I'm not an "insider" Chief. Instead of posting your comment on the Boneyard here, why don't you just go tell the coaching staff what they need to do? I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by wasting your info on us "casual fans" when it's clear it's the coaching staff that needs your help in securing commitments.

You need to get over your Chief obsession.

Nah, it’s too much fun

According to the IU guys on Reddit, he attended not one, or two, but three Frat parties. I assume IU frat parties are about like KU frat parties, which makes them unlike what goes on in Storrs. Not all kids would be interested in that, but those from New Hampshire?

A page out of Howie’s recruiting LOL

Cam Hayes is a lock to NC State. I'd imagine this is going to help their odds at Cam Thomas.

if he wants to play with a real good PG then daishen nix of ucla is the best prospect at any of the schools on his list

Coles?

 

[bendm]

Coles?

i meant besides uconn obviously. i'll take gilbert and cole over any 2020 freshmen PG except cade cunningham.

 

[navery12]

Disappointed, really wanted Cam. I honestly have no idea who we will end up with. Kadary seems likely but who knows.

Luckily we're recruiting Cam Thomas and not Cam Hayes

Thanks. I thought I missed something.

wow i read that wrong

 

[bendm]

fingers crossed for NC state

Is there any reason we stopped recruiting him completely? I’m not saying we made a mistake, I just don’t remember what happened.

 

[Scrutineer]

We've decided to not recruit New England players anymore.

I have a really bad feeling about the way this class is playing out!

Chill dude, or are you thinking about the sox

Good for you.

 

[KembaStepback]

Lets stay positive. Coaches are putting in the work. Would love this kid.

The fact that we're seriously in the mix for a 5 star and arguably the best scorer in the class is enough to give me hope.

We made Cam Reddish's top 5...under KO. It's not enough to be "in the mix". Gotta finish.

First you gotta win.

Try cognitive thinking. Change your thinking and your thoughts will follow.

A bunch of non-winning programs get stud recruits.

Ye$ they do

Pretty rare. Winning is the most constant correlation to getting high end recruits.

 

[Bonk]

I'd say winning but also consistently putting people into the NBA. Recruits want results. Programs who don't do either are very $u$picious

 

[superjohn]

It's really not that rare though. We see it with programs we go head to head with on recruits. NC State, LSU, and Auburn (outside of last year) don't win anything of significance and yet they bring in studs. Memphis hasn't made the tournament in years and they have the #1 class.

NC State has been pretty good recently, Auburn obviously as well, and Memphis has Penny as a coach, thats just a given he’ll get star recruits. Also, L$U is under the microscope now, and everyone knows what’s going on there.

Corey Evans flipped his pick on Rivals from NC State to LSU yesterday.

It doesn't matter anymore. The floodgates are open when it comes to payoffs.

Edit: & now with California passing a law allowing players to get endorsements, the sneaker companies will be able to do whatever they want, and worse, the local used car dealership booster is going to start funneling cash to players because college sports are his only joy in life!

 

[Hoophound]

We probably need to get used to this shift in the paying players dynamic. It appears the biggest violators continue to violate despite getting caught. Very concerning.
