Pretty sure Gilbert visited. But I remember DeAndre Daniels didn't before he committed to UConn.

Correct.

But DeAndre had already used all 5 of his official visits, thus he wasn't able to visit UCONN.

why are people, in my opinion, wasting their time talking about this guy. if he went to uconn and began to play for us he would probably be ineligible due to grades on January. he should go over seas and play
.

I sense a lack of self-awareness here.

or he is just a .

Well he could have, but it would have been an out of pocket expense.

So really not the same situation as Dimon...

 

[ARIDE]

he is not a game changer at either end..save any available scholarship for 2019 recruit...

Nobody fails out of college basketball. The colleges have refined "everybody passes" down to a science. Years ago players would fail, but that was before summer and intersession classes for athletes. If a player is dumb, he fails because he cannot learn basketball, not because he fails classes.

Usually, the problem kids are the ones who commit crimes.

He may pass but he could bring a big hit to our APR...unless we have figured out how to fudge the numbers on that as well. I'm not saying don't go after him, just bringing up an alternative point.

Apparently he's still only visited UMass, Houston, and UCONN. Is he really going to choose a school (in 6 days), where he's never stepped on campus?

Sampson has brought JUCOs from the Boston area in before. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up there if there’s an actual commitment.

I agree - especially given that he's now at a Texas junior college, Houston would seem like the pick.

I get the feeling that this kid will make a few commitments before he actually lands on campus in 2019.

There's a joke to be made here with "a Texas junior college" and "Houston" used in the same sentence.

Look! We're developing rivals!

I had Akinjo in my mind but write Gilbert.

I might be wrong about both, but it does happen. Thanks for the correction.

Just posted to his IG story

You may be on to something

Sometimes these kids just want to be recruited.

This kid hasn’t really been pursued too hard because of academics and he sees the rest of the world getting attention...he’s a kid, I get it.

His best bet is to just chill out and make sure he gets the associates degree - if he does that, basketball will take care of itself and he’ll have all the attention he can handle later on.

Wow a level headed take on a recruit on the boneyard... this is rare boys like it while you can you won’t see a lot of these.

Did Villanueva visit? I remember his signing was kind of late and random after he had decommited from Illinois? I believe.

Clyde strikes. LOL

Yes, a month before he committed.

This kids self promotion is cringeworthy, but that’s the toll you pay for being so bad academically that you have to go the JUCO route. He still should be a block machine wherever he ends up. I’m rooting for him to end up in a good situation.
