And his reasoning:

Staying close to home has always been important to Floyd, and while some always lumped Villanova into the mix, they were never a serious threat with Floyd down the stretch to either Rutgers or Connecticut.

With a decision coming later today, all indications are that Connecticut is going to find a way to win this one, and for Danny Hurley to continue his strong recruiting run at the school.

The Huskies have recruited the Northeast very well under Hurley's guidance, and now that they are back in the Big East it is only helping more.

Add in that assistant coach Kimani Young has deep ties to the New York/New Jersey area, and the Huskies definitely have things going well on the recruiting trail.

It seems that Floyd is the next one in line to pick the school.

While Rutgers isn’t totally out of it yet, all the information seems to suggest it will be the Huskies.

Lol, I love the wording here. Like all of these recruiting sites don't already have their interview with Corey on why he chose _______ ready to go.

I’m with you. I also admire your way around the recent absence of other means of interacting. Not sarcasm.

We have a board again!

Again, this will be a far bigger land than people realize. If you created some sort of Hurley prototype in a lab you would come out with Floyd. 6’3/4 broad shouldered athlete who uses jump stops operates off of screens prefers to drive but is a capable shooter. He’s like a more complete version of EC Matthews. Plays for the premier northern jersey prep school to boot. I absolutely love this fit for us. LOVE IT.

Dude has the frame to look like Jabril Peppers once Coach Mike gets his hands on him

Lol the yard is yardin, per usual. Good to see some things will never change.

As long as you have your GIF loaded and it gets used this evening, I'm good.

What time will the announcement come? Any known time or is it a continual Twitter refresh type of thing?

If you look at most of the threads, chief will make a post or comment about the topic and then everyone else piles in on him. Then they blame chief for being a . Get over it.

He's earned it, because he is.

If Corey Floyd commits to the Huskies will he play for us in 2021-2022 season or 2022-2023 season?

2022-2023 season

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Soo next years class and his class will solve our pg issue

Yep.

21-22: Cole, Gaffney, Diggins
22-23: Gaffney, Diggins, Floyd.

 

[Mooch82]

Yep.

21-22: Cole, Gaffney, Diggins
22-23: Gaffney, Diggins, Floyd.

Not sure if I would call Floyd a PG. Seems more like to be the 3rd guard in a 3 guard offense than a PG. Wouldn't mind a 1/2 combo type in this class as well. Floyd/Clingan/Combo Guard (J. Williams)?...and if a 4th spot opens up it should go to a combo forward type (Farrell?).

Do people view Floyd as a PG? Seems to operate primarily off ball. A lot of catch and drive/shoot option type stuff, more of a shooting guard to me

good news!

Plot twist: he was actually incompetent from the beginning.

This feels like a stretch. He won a national title with a team that was absolutely not the best in the country, and which had one guy who was an NBA rotation guy and that was it, and he beat 5 former national coach of the year winners to get there. That doesn't happen without good coaching.
