Never heard of him. Do we expect him to come here? We seem pretty loaded already.

He seems to be a priority

Tripp just like the tweet.

When I saw title I thought it meant that UConn made his final list of 14.

I always like a good wink from Matrim

There have been a bunch of posts about him on here the last 6 months. Seems he's a priority recruit.

UCONN: “They’re recruiting me the hardest right now. They want me to come in and be an instant impact on both the offensive end and defensive end. Coaching staff is great.”

@Matrim55 makes a timely appearance. This is great news. 247 has him at 6'4, 190lbs, nice frame for a guard.

Floyd, Justice Williams, and Clingan are the main targets for 2022

I like Yann Farrell if another scholarship opens up

I have not followed this recruitment that closely. I find it odd that 247 has zero crystal ball predictions. Any idea what the chances are that we land this kid?

Sounds like it’s 100%

There's rarely Crystal balls until a few days before an announcement. They'll roll in for whichever team over the next 2 weeks

Kimani liking a ton of UConn and Floyd stuff on Twitter as well.

Jeesh! Imagine pulling in that class?!!!

I think Justice would be tough to pull in addition to Floyd if we do indeed get him but who knows. Ideally we get Floyd and have the benefits of a Roselle Catholic pipeline. They have 5 start Simeon Wilcher in 2023 who alongside Floyd makes an unbelievable backcourt. Don’t think we’ve offered yet but we are in contact

 

[MDHuskFan]

Kimani lead on this? NJ kid so I’d assume. Interested in where/who Free is in on for us

 

[Umami Zen]

Lil Sool and Samson assisting on being in Corey's ear.. Will be curious if staff continues to recruit Donald Hand Jr or if they see them both as filling similar roles on the roster if successful. with CF..Would still be a great start to 2022 roster..

This seems rather positive.

Where is he on the ESPN rankings?

 

[auror]

Watched a couple highlight videos. He's quite strong for his high school age. Definitely uses it when attacking the basket. Good athlete for his size, if not elite. Potential for a good 2-way player for us.

Not ranked on ESPN. Composite ranking is 125 on 247

He's ranked 96 on Rivals and 110 on 247, how do they come up with a 125 composite?

I think he gets a hit for being "unranked" on ESPN even though they're only going up to 60 right now
