Message: [QUOTE="6&counting, post: 5338001, member: 14009"] Can you elaborate on your answer here? Is there intel we're missing about UConn needing to acquire at least 3 freshman wings next year, like you're saying? We're actively recruiting the fewest number of players I can remember since Hurley has been here. We're also going after significantly fewer players than almost every other high major program. Hurley and the staff have repeatedly stated publicly that they are not looking to get big freshman classes moving forward. And going off the numbers historically (# of official visits vs. # of commits), just because a player visits UConn does [I]not[/I] mean we will land them - even if they get the red carpet rolled out for them. For example, last year Bundalo wanted to come here immediately after his visit (many on here declared it a done deal), but something didn't jibe with the coaches in person and we backed off. That being said, there's always a world where a couple guys on the roster surprise us and transfer out after the season and leave more playing time for newcomers. Very hard to say with certainty what will happen right now. To bring it back to the current thread, I quite like both Landrew and Samuels. They have similar builds and similarly high floors, with the chance to pop with enough work after a year or 2. They play pretty differently - with Landrew looking very deliberate in his movements. Surprisingly, it actually took me a couple viewings to see that he has a ton of dribble counters in his bag. I think once he understands the pace of play, he will take off. But I'd say the same thing about the Rosses, so take all that with a grain of salt [/QUOTE]
