Recruiting is very fluid so you have to drink a lot of salt water....don't you people know anything?

Key is not a lot of winks. Just good guys saying what they're hearing and more often than not it's accurate. But the kids on the other end aren't consistent all that often.

I don't think anyone has been getting good information on recruiting for a long time now and Middleton has kept it all as close to the vest as possible.

so are we not allowed to be disappointed? are we passionate fans or robots? i havent blamed anyone or pointed any fingers.

You can be disappointed, even if I think it's a bit crazy to talk yourself into a dream scenario and then claim disappointment when it doesn't happen.

But that's besides the point. All I'm pointing out is that you're in this thread claiming recruiting is fluid and things change, while in the Middleton thread claiming he was a lock for UConn. Can't have it both ways

odd for you to take issue with any of it but i think youre either 1) lying or 2) emotionless if youre claiming not to be a bit disappointed at the prospect and perhaps inevitability of missing out on middleton given what an insider said on sunday.

furthermore, i wasnt expressing contrary claims in the two threads. i informed a guy that still believed scotty was a lock that the same insider had since updated what he initially heard. while i was "guilty" of getting my hopes up and subsequently becoming disappointed by the news that scotty was no longer a lock, i most certainly can have it both ways. life is a rollercoaster of emotions.

Agree. I hope you understood my comment to @husky99 was meant as a joke.

How’s the granddaughter?

Got it, so you did view Middleton as a lock. That's what I'm taking issue with. Someone saying they heard UConn doesn't make it a lock. You've followed recruiting long enough to know better

Would I be disappointed if he chooses elsewhere, sure. But we're going after about a dozen top 50-75 kids so that would last all of 10 seconds.

Get him. Very difficult to defend kids like that unless you hack him at the rim.

Can I get a breakdown of the Stewart, Carr, and Middleton? I haven’t watched a ton of these guys but am I way off here?

Carr looks to be more of a PF and dunks everything, doesn’t look like he has much offensive game besides that. However, I would love to snag him, he’s a freak

Stewart seems to be most skilled offensively, don’t know about his defense and seems more old school than the other two.

Middleton looks like an athlete and a good defender, offensively probably raw like Carr and doesn’t dunk like him, but I’m guessing a better shooter

Just curious as I have been cooling on Middleton for awhile, ever since we lost Edwards there hasn’t been a guy I was ecstatic on getting at the position. Out of these 3 I feel like I’d want Stewart or Carr over Middleton anyways. If Carr has a jumper he’s who I want, if not I’m leaning towards Stewart.

Middleton and Carr are basically non-shooters. Overall Carr is more advanced offensively. Stewart has the best skillset, but isn't as athletic.

Thanks! I would be happy with any of them, but I'm leaning Stewart, Carr, Middleton in that order in terms of wish list

i feel for whoever is leading stewart's recruitment. no direct flights from Bradley to SeaTac and it's gonna take quite a few to land him... 13 months max before he makes a decision and there's a lot of ground to make up having just offered, especially against the likes of gonzaga and ucla

i'm more optimistic about carr given the castle connection and the fact that staff will be down in GA all the time where they can watch both. hopefully carr keeps growing and shows up on campus at 6'7 220 with no choice but to play PF haha. i'm sure AJ didnt expect to end up playing PF either...

Meet UConn recruiting target Coen Carr

The 6-foot-7 forward from Georgia is being recruited by fellow Georgia native Stephon Castle, a 2023 UConn men’s basketball commit.
www.ctinsider.com www.ctinsider.com

“I’ve known him since we were in middle school. He definitely is (recruiting me),” Carr said of Castle, a 6-6 guard. “He’s been telling me that us as a duo would be crazy and stuff like that, and that they’re a good program.”

Gonzaga and UCLA haven't been recruiting him for a long time and haven't offered him yet and where are you getting this 13 month timeline?
