Two key words here

 

[Verne]

Hurley and the assistants are probably working their buns off trying to get Cooper here for an unofficial to watch the banner ceremony.

Hasn't this been debunked? That's during a recruiting dead period. He would basically have to come as a fan on his own accord and have no contact with the staff?

Unofficial visits could mean just that?

 

[Verne]

Unofficial visits could mean just that?

Unofficials aren't done during dead periods.

Dead periods mean 0 in person contact between recruit and staff. November 6th through the 9th is next dead period.

 

[ihatepants]

Per the NCAA website, the dead period for Men's Basketball is November 7-10

What is the NCAA Dead Period? | When is the Dead Period?

Your link says November 7-10, 2022.

You're right; I deleted the post

 

[Verne]

That rumor is bunk

 

[caw]

It’s all coming from duke people and “ insiders”. Meanwhile Hurley won’t even release the score of a secret scrimmage unlike every other program in hoops these days. I freaking love that. So what makes people think they know UConn’s side on ANYTHING.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have hedged that 1% here. I agree.

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Bro that was fookin quick

 

[uconnfan68]

So Ace it is!

There is only one way to now look at this. Don’t worry about it hope for the best but don’t expect it. Or as Forrest Gump said life is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get. Unless you look under the box cover. I am thinking Dook has been lucky enough to look under the cover. Hope I am wrong……and have no information one way or the other. I just hope it happens this week. So we can focus on other topics.

 

[nomar]

We are on weed.

FIFY

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Trilly backtracking on his prediction and then throwing shade at guys crystal ball predictions "months out" surely was something.

Guy who makes a following predicting college basketball commitments suddenly finds it "unprofessional" when other guys do the same?

This will go on at least a week after the decision

What is the point of recruiting dead periods?

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Eh, probably nothing.

 

[JohnnyJr]

Eh, probably nothing.

Do they have every final four trophy there lol? I think he only had our championships with him here

 

[Rings R Us]

Yuck.

 

[husky429]

What is the point of recruiting dead periods?

Because they're kids who shouldn't be harassed by coaches every day.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Eh, probably nothing.

The grandparents are Duke fans and didn’t bother to come down for our visit. Hope that doesn’t sway him their way.

Saw that and heard his grandfather is a huge duke fan. Crazy to me that tons of people in that area of Maine are all Duke fans apparently. Even one of the Maine United jersey’s looks like a Duke uniform.

 

[uconnfan68]

It’s not like they have more…
