I mean who are we honestly going to "lose" him to at this point?

After what has taken place with Kasongo, nothing would shock me. I had been frequently checking recruiting sites and surfing the net for news on Kasongo and Cassell, but I'm done with doing that. Simply a waste of time the way these sagas or should say Soap Operas are being drawn out.

Hey, HooperScooper...just email or call me when Cassell commits. :)

A Ville scouting report on Cassell:
I've seen Lyle and Snider play multiple times and wasn't impressed by either from a shooting standpoint. Lyle is a great passer with great size. Q is quick and runs a team well but he isn't great in any area. Snider is not close to as athletic as Siva, or a great shooter and an average defender. Lyle is a horrible defender and not very quick.

I called my dad's best friend who is a retired basketball coach living in Florida and asked him about Cassell. Butch comes to the KOB every year and has seen Snider play and he is familiar with Cassell. He said Cassell is more of a combo guard, can really score, shoots it well from 3 and has a great mid range game. He said where Cassell stands out is defensively and that he locks guys up. Butch also said that Cassell was a late bloomer in high school.

Cassell's coach, by the way, calls him a lockdown defender.

Just like papa. hopefully he runs his mouth @ the same clip, we'll need to replace some lost swagger when our current guards leave

I honestly don't know much about Lyle but I would take Cassell Jr over Snider any day of the week. Perkins and McLaughlin were my 1a & 1b as far as our main PG targets go but I'm very happy to "settle" with Cassell Jr. He can start here and put numbers up.

Nah, we can all say whatever want. As I said, I was just being a cranky old bastard.

At this point I expecting him, Kasongo and Abu all to attend NC State.

Must be their impressive TV exposure that reels em in..

RP will have a year of practice under his belt and could improve quite a bit at the PG position before he steps on the court.

Well it looks to me like both a teamate and a friend from home have now said on twitter hes coming to uconn, which means he'll be committing to Clemson any minute now.

Why not Florida State where his dad went?

Apparently purvis is KILLING in practice according to a buddy of mine up at storrs. Massive improvement in his jumpshot is what's doing it. idk about pg ability yet though, can only gage that in games.

FT shooting was his biggest issue at NCST. Well that and playing in a system which didn't fit him at all.

yah. when I say jumpshot I mean off the dribble , coming off a pnr, not the set shot threes he took at nc state . His shot in general looks better, think that will translate from the stripe.

I don't mean to get anybody's panties in a bunch but Cassell just told me no commitment yet. He also said no commitment will be made today but definitely by the end of the week.

With that being said like Amore had in his article UConn not getting Cassell would be a shock.
