I've been told Vital is at around 90% convinced. He had a great time, loves Ollie, was happy to see Enoch, and is all but sold on our mission. Like @tcf15 said, he may just want to be 100% sure this is the place for him. I still wouldn't be shocked if we get some good news before his UL visit.

So 9 toes in, not sure how I feel about that (jk)

Huskyforlife and TCF if we do get the commitment from Vital, would this signing have any interference from us signing Makai?

What do you guys really think?
 
If MAL is really that worried about freshman playing time to the extent that a 3 star combo guard changes his college decision, that is his problem, not UConn's. I see no reason to sacrifice depth for someone in the following year's class that may or may not commit. MAL is a very talented PG, but there are others out there for 2017. 2016 is just as important, and we need a guard. KO will put the best team possible out there.

It is quite clear that the men's program will never get over the loss of Bunkey's presence.

Perhaps I missed something but did Bunkey (sp?) leave UConn with SC? If he is still around there may still be hope. All Bunkey needs is a good friend who is connected to the program (like Purvis or maybe ???????????)
 
There is a misconception Makai is a PG. He plays the 2 in both High School (Cushing) and AAU (Rivals). He is a scorer. Wabissa Bede is the point guard for both teams. His situation exactly mirrors Jalen's. He played the 2 with the same programs with Kaleb Joseph at the 1. Jalen went on to play point with basicly the Globetrotters of NEPSAC at Brewster for a post grad year. At the next level coaches/evaluators project them as PG's because of their size. As we've seen time and time again some of these smaller guards just cannot convert over to the point. Jalen showed glimpses he could be successful but we have no idea about Makai.

People need to understand the visits may be good but not the Wow visits without Bungy/Sam Jr package running the social outings - it's very unfair to expect that from our players or coaches - just a fact of life - it won't be as fun. They will still like KO and Glen Miller's tour of the facility will be well ok - but will it move the needle enough?

You really have an unparalleled ability to take a mundane observation and turn it into something completely absurd. The only reason this isn't the silliest idea on this board is because you have a bunch of other ideas - First Night, for example - floating around. Cassell was on campus for two years in the history of this program.

We should just shut down the program, without Clyde Vaughan, Cassell and Bunkey there is no reason to continue.

You have a disdain for what works and an affinity for what doesn't

He is still around - was at the spring concert - but he is definitely one foot out the door. Bungy is just one of those people that fun and positiveness just follows around. Laugh if you want but yes that's hard to replace.

"Convinced" is thinking with your mind not your heart. When you think with your heart you don't need "convincing"

Looks like Chief has birthed the next Ollieism. Let's let Chief take over the social responsibilities, he'll have Andre on the next plane.

This from a guy who thinks weed should be criminal.

You've called him "Bungy" like four different times now. If you're going to pretend to know someone at least get their name right.
 
I don't get how each of us idiots and our brother has a source. Our staff must have the loosest lips around.

Is it that hard to comprehend that maybe die hard UConn fans might know someone inside the program? Many people here are former UConn alum, who could have easily met/befriended people in the athletic department. Personally I think most 'insiders' are people that know someone who knows someone inside the athletic department. Most people don't get info from the horses mouth, like myself, which is why "insiders" are sometimes wrong. Cause sometimes their source doesn't get a recent enough update from the person before something different happens. Think about just how many people are in our athletic department, now picture how many friends, family, and co workers they have. Info is more than capable of spreading around, and that doesn't mean it will always be 100% accurate. I used to think like you, I used to call out our "insiders," but really it's not that crazy.

Bunky is nowhere near as crucial as Chief is making him out to be. His continued harping on this point is just proof of the ridiculous vendetta Chief has against KO for not being Calhoun/reducing the amount of influence he has.
