2022 Recruiting: Corey Floyd Jr To UConn

[Chin Diesel]

Gave me the chills.

Goose bumps? Yep.

 

[tzznandrew]

Dunno yet. I'll let you know as soon as it's clear.

It's nice to have someone correct, specific, and first on these things regularly rather than waiting to see where the wind blows.

Good call a while back, Matrim. Glad to have Floyd in the wings.

Kid has got good size already, broad shoulders. Really nice release on his, nicely arcing shot. Can get to the rim with either hand and can finish. Beautiful get.

 

[EROCK CONN]

Kid has a five star name

Does this mean UConn's officially back in early "reloading" mode? Sorta feels like it. Return to badassness.

 

[ElPresidente]

He's already a beast! @Uconn under Hurley will make him a monster ?

 

[Brochacho]

Dunno yet. I'll let you know as soon as it's clear.

Would it have anything to do with CFJr saying he wants to bring Clingan with him?

 

[CTisballers]

I’m thanking Sool on this one as Samson and Hawkins. Dude can recruit DC next???

 

[WaterDawg]

Woohoo!!!

Getting Coach Hurley and moving back to the Big East was the perfect recipe for success.

I urge everyone to look at his instagram page and the message he wrote about his grandmother who just passed away recently, it's quite a tribute. Not only did UConn get a really good player who fits the Hurley mold perfectly but they got a really mature person. Not many teenagers come across like he does in his interviews and writing. UConn got a really one.

HARTFORD, Conn. — One of the first times Dan Hurley saw Corey Floyd Jr. play, the UConn coach asked Floyd’s grassroots coach, “Does he want to tear somebody’s face off?”

UConn lands a commitment from four-star guard Corey Floyd Jr.

Floyd, a physical and aggressive guard from Roselle Catholic in New Jersey, is the first commit in the Class of 2022.

I have to agree. I think this kid is very underranked right now.

 

[LStudfellow]

It continues to be crystal clear - Hurley knows EXACTLY the type of young man he wants to bring into this program... and then he and this awesome staff pin point who those guys are in each class, and then with the precision of world-class assassins go in and get their man.

It is quite impressive to watch... and fantastic that he, Young, Moore and now Freeman (and Taliek as well) are on the side of the good guys.

Great job getting your man once again, Coach Hurley and Company!!!

Feels soooooo good to be back where we belong... Now and into the foreseeable future!

One of the superior talents of Dan Hurley/staff is that they are snipers.. They evaluate/select/focus on a target (recruit).. And they execute on the recruitment of that target..

They are exceptional at successfully recruiting their targets..

Cannot say enough about that skill set when rebuilding a Program.. Off the charts..

 

[87Xfer]

i freakin' LOVE this

 

[Dooooooomed]

Agent Sool puts in the work yet again...

 

[Umami Zen]

i'm more interested in who's next for 2021 with 2 open schollys...

consensus seemed to be we needed a big man and a SG, but the latter sounds like a hard sell seeing as they'd be sandwiched in between Hawkins and Floyd.

You crushed me many months back for suggesting we might be in this situation. But here we are..

The Carpenter has got your back..

thanks for pointing to that. i think Dan Hurley picks kids for damn good reasons.
