We're going hard after 2025 guards. Manahey/Nowell/Ball/a couple of these 2025 guys is a really strong backcourt

Look at who we get visits from. Lewis, Adams recently.

Yeah I’ve been following. Just not sure who we prefer amongst these guys since I assume we can’t take them all

Funny how last year we got a ring, 5th chip in 24 years and the five stars stayed away. It took back to back to get to where we are. First with Liam and now the floodgates are open to play for the best coach in the country.

I would expect part of the pitch with Nowell was that he'd be at UConn for at least 2 years unless he breaks out in a real way.

That’s what I’m thinking. And if Acuff sees himself as a true point guard distributor, I question if it’s the best fit for a high level 5 star recruit.

For the life of me I still can’t understand why Calipari gets the recruits he does. How does this guys stench not stick to him?

He has a type he looks for and that type meshes well with him. Winning is not the most important thing. Getting to the league as quickly as possible and instant gratification are top priorities.

It's simple. Money. In Arkansas he will have the richest people willing to shell out money for NIL. And young recruits still see him as a gateway to millions in the league with some of the big names in NBA coming from Kentucky. I don't agree with young recruits seeing Calipari that way because these recruits could have gone to school anywhere and still made it to the NBA as lottery picks. Maybe not all of the recruits, but most of them, it wouldn't have mattered what school they attended.

it's not clear what development if any cal does with the players. the standard story with kentucky players is basically "yea cal misused him and didn't showcase what he's about but he was a top 5 recruit and look at the high school tape."

the whole kentucky bump is premised on the idea that they are better than their kentucky performances.

You can never have enough depth at point guard/ball handling. We probably missed out on two more national titles because of injuries.

Dyson's injury comes to mind.

(I bumped into Holly Warlick, former Tennessee coach and longtime Pat Summit assistant in Maine the year we lost Dyson. She saw my UConn gear and struck up a conversation. She was surprisingly knowledgeable about our men's team and said that if he's not injured we win the national championship.)
 
Not sure if this was posted anywhere but he just announced his Top 4 schools and we made the cut!! Not sure how to update the thread title but I would have changed it with the updated news.
