[Huskyforlife]

Wonder if this was a signal to Dan he wants to visit? Maybe wishful thinking.

I could see that. but he also said " I probably want to get to visit UConn" , which started the thread lol

 

[ctchamps]

Very talented but a bit of a red flag with him is a quote where he said somethings about what he wants in a coach and nowhere in that quote did he mention team. It was basically "I want a guy thats going to get me to the NBA and let me show my game because me, me, me". Seems more of a Squid kid. I think Hurley can find a better fit.

Have we offered? Have we set up a visit? I don’t get the impression he’s a Hurley player either.

 

[Ricker]

On rivals it indicated we had an unofficial visit on 6/26. I have no idea if that is true or they confused Lewis or Adams for Acuff.

 

[superjohn]

Yeah that 09` Final Four still stings a bit because that team still went to the F4 with its best player and then essentially played a road game in the semis. I think its safe to say that teams wins it all without the injury to their best player.

Injury to their best player?

Injury to their best player?

Yes. My post is a grammatical mess.

 

[awy]

he talks like a calipari guard but he's also really good. they can make it work but idk. no matter what, really good for the brand to make the final cut despite not prioritizing him

 

[Zionn]

Next

 

[UConnKev]

 

[IndyLives]

We need him for the Four-peat. Get him Danny!

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Meleek come on down

 

[TheHorde]

Michigan lmao. Next indeed.

If you have Arkansas as a top choice you’re a bag chaser. If you’re a bag chaser you’re not a winner. Next.

Our #1 target appears to have UConn and Arkansas as his top 2 so thankfully the staff doesn't share your mindset

Friendly reminder that the best thing to do here is to wish Darius luck in his future and then move on!

It's like you don't know us at all any more.

 

[tuvent08]

It's absolutely wild (in a good way) that we are now being used by five stars for social media engagement/clout.

He doesn't know us at all, tsk, tsk. He should know we are still not over the Diamond Stone recruitment.

@UConnMBB
is not recruiting five-star Darius Acuff, per source.

further proof Thomas is in fact a done deal?

Nice spot to be in where we are telling 5* guys no thanks

I don’t think Thomas is done yet. He still has a few visits planned.

They play different positions so I Don’t think that’s the takeaway. Still need to lock Thomas up.

As many likes as you give out, I'm shocked at the hesitation. Call it bro! I'm calling it! Meleek to UConn

 

[Drame]

There is the NIL component. We might be offering less than other teams. He's still figuring out what he really wants and we're also figuring out how much we want to spend on any one player when there are other great players out there.

I think eventually, but as of now I don’t think he’s quite locked in.

I couldn't believe when Zanetto said A.J. Dybantsa wasn't a good fit for UConn. I guess we wouldn't have taken LeBron either. You get the best players available as long as they're grinders.
