Doomed

We need a big fish if for no other reason to get the snowball rolling in a positive direction and strongly stamp the perception that Hurley is bringing UCONN back. Can’t be just good and complimentary players. We need a Donyell caliber guy. Who will be the player to take that leap?

 

[husky99]

I don’t think we should write him off because of a Crystal ball pick... Let’s play it out and see what happens. We knew it would probabaly be a spring commitment anyways.

I agree. I just think we are dominating his recruiting like we thought

The name is Nigerian and you really shouldn't have posted this.

I'm thinking he thought it was funny.

You leave out a word that changes the entire meaning of your post in pretty much every post.

Slow down. Concentrate just a little bit. This is a written forum - the extra 4 seconds you spend crafting your thoughts are worth it.

This is why it's senseless to get emotionally invested in any recruit until they put our jersey on. Until then it's always a crap shoot.

Yup exactly

A crap shoot full of fluid and salt.

Yum!

This pick is stemming from an assistant New Heights coach joining the UNC staff (not as an assistant coach just staff). Slater had Tre Mann and Caleb Mills picking UNC over the past couple months, so it’s not like he’s been infallible with his picks there either.

No 5 star is ever going to be a walk in touchdown. You have to beat blue bloods for these types. Hopefully Hurley and Kimani pull through.

My 11th grade English teacher said the samething. I told her to go to hell nicely.

May I ask who? Sean May was the last hire I remember and that’s been a few years. Most everyone on the staff has a prior connection to either Roy or UNC (usually both).

It was pointed out to me on Twitter by another UConn fan.

The guy's name is Shane Denully. Apparently he announced it on Instagram. His IG is private though, so I can't screenshot it. Maybe someone else here can.

Like I said though, he isn't an assistant coach. Maybe it's a Taliek Brown/Doherty/Gore type role. Not sure exactly. But I'm sure that this and the Slater pick aren't a coincidence.

 

[JeepCSC]

Well no one has left the basketball staff that I’m aware of, so unless he is like on the Smith Center facilities staff (and doesn’t yet have an email on the UNC site), I’m not sure what he is doing.

Interestingly there is a Louis Bouknight who is the JV assistant coach.

Lets say Precious commits to UNC this Sept, I'll still hold out some hope that if Dan & Co really show something with this team this year that a guy like Precious just might flip back.

He’s not committing anywhere this September

And true to form, you leave out the comma in this one. Hell, nicely.

From one of the mods on the UNC 247 board: We spoke with one of Achiuwa's coaches at Montverde. He said UNC hasn't reached out to Achiuwa since he's been in Florida.

You're doing this on purpose

No mention of the misplaced modifier?

 

[Pudge]

Is there any incident in history that the AAU coach/handler took Said job at XYZ University ... and the kid never enrolled?

I’d offer ... hard to find

Just so there's no confusion, he forgot a 'don't' in there. So it would be:

I agree. I just don't think we are dominating his recruiting like we thought​

Here for you buddy.

Been watching too much pr0n bro.

He really should have listened to the teacher instead of assuming he didn't need to.

 

[YoungFree]

Yes. The most reliable probably.

Disgruntled words fill in here....................

This is his profile. Plenty of pics with Precious. But honestly he could be trolling about UNC position. So tough to tell.

 

[HooperScooper]

Or, "I told her nicely to go to hell."

Or even this might work, "I nicely told her to go to hell."

Darn English language is so difficult.

Can't take Slater or Meyer's picks as gospel. This really changes the vibe around here.

I agree.... but I didn't assume anything.

Evan Daniels chimed in too: Precious Achiuwa doesn't currently have a scholarship offer from North Carolina. Nor does he have any type of visit scheduled to North Carolina. Nor are there any signs that either of those things may happen or change in the near future. Was just told by a source very close to the situation that Achiuwa really hasn't paid much attention to his recruiting process and isn't in any kind of hurry to do so. This isn't one that I would get up in arms about at this stage.
