2021 Recruiting: El Ellis

[huskiesNhoos]

It's not like Louisville swooped in out of nowhere and stole him ala Illinois and Kofi...they've been on him just as long as we have

 

[uconntoatl]

I believe it was Confucius who once said, "Recruiting is fluid."

 

[uchusky32]

Was very confident, but was swindled as were others...happens

Just teasing! Appreciate what you bring.

 

[djct1999]

so basically what happened with Andre Jackson and Sanogo?

And I am sure fans at the other schools feel how many on here feel now and I wouldn't criticize them for it. Again, I have no idea what happened here. Maybe this is the rare case its clean. With Louisville, it almost never is. That said, I do know we have lost recruits in the past and will again in the future not entirely merit based, even some who had already committed. So be it.

 

[djct1999]

Maybe not but I’m pretty sure the winners with those was UConn and this one is Louisville. Care to check recent history? Andre Jackson started leaning out way well before the last day.......Sanogo no doubt similar but again history of the programs aren’t similar.

Next...... allow the opinions of each and move on.

agree 100%. Jackson wasn't near the surprise Sanogo was.

 

[UofCT]

When you have boneyarders comparing him to Russ Smith this is what happens

 

[Dabutlerdidit]

Are we sure this is not happening now?

all 6 crystal balls are for louisville with level 7 confidence or higher (7,7,8,8,9,9)

 

[gtcam]

It wasn't meant to be
Maybe he flatly said he was only staying one year or made demands as far as PT and % of time he wants the ball
DH will win somebody that will be a better fit

 

[JimHurley]

I wanted this guy but on to the next. So next year we have (likely) Bouknight, Polley, Whaley, and Carlton leaving. I have a hunch that we're getting either Rahsool Diggins or Jaylen Blakes as our PG in 2021. I'm not sure I see us pulling in a Center for 2021 since we'll have 2 sophomores on the roster and the staff will be putting lots of effort into Clingan. That leaves scholarships open at the 2/3/4. We will have BA at the 2, Martin/Jackson at the 3, and Springs/Akok at the 4.

 

[Watchdog]

Might very well be true. However, when a staff and "insiders" are extremely confident on a Sunday, then things abruptly change and are blindsided the next day, something always smells a bit fishy.

Who said anything about throat punches?

 

[Watchdog]

all 6 crystal balls are for louisville with level 7 confidence or higher (7,7,8,8,9,9)

Only 7,7,8,8,9,9...........So there's still a chance..........

 

[Husky68]

That's not as persuasive as you think.

But it's a lot more persuasive then you think.

i'd think we have a better shot at Hunter than Diggins given him being a philly kid

Read a couple places on the BY that this is Brendan Adams last year so he won't be available for the 2021 season. Might be recruiting for a pg and another combo guard.

Sool is from new jersey so i’d think we’d have a good shot because of that too

Archbishop Wood highschool is in philly

Yeah I brought it up a few months back too. It was mentioned on several broadcasts that he's graduating next year. Whether or not that means he's leaving the program, we'll see.

 

[navery12]

Diggins is originally from Wayne, NJ

 

[bendm]

Diggins is originally from Wayne, NJ

i understand that but you dont think him going to school in philly gives wright the edge? kofi and precious leaving nyc to play for different highschools hurt us just like diggins leaving jersey hurts us

 

[navery12]

I never said that, I don't expect us to get Diggins. But just explaining why k-walk said he's a Jersey kid

the only place you read that was from jimhurley posting it multiple times

 

[JB75]

Nothing in recent memory will be worse than kofi. Still can’t believe he chose Illinois over UConn. Lol. Comical

 

[GoatHouse]

Idk what weight this holds but Ellis is live on Instagram with Jake Weingarten now... he just said he has no clue where he's going and that he's going to decide tonight. Again don't know if this is just smoke but he did say that.

There’s no way he doesn’t have a school he plans to commit to tomorrow. Ig anything is possible tho
