Does this hurt of chances with Lukas Kisunas? How many scholarships left?
I'd be surprised if we took more than 1 more commit. Presumably we'll have 2 more open spots from Larrier and Adams but I can't see them backing themselves in a corner in case something happens with one and they come back

Staff looks like they're utilizing the "bird in the hand is better than two in the bush" motto this season. Secure commits from guys that want to play here. Last few seasons we've chased players that left us scrambling last minute to fill spots for the sake of filling spots.

Another underrated guy. The question for both of them is "how much?".

Another guard and a stud big, and we've got a pretty good class.

Staff is focusing on big now. They know carey is a long shot and depending what happens in the spring, they will look for a guard then.

Yeah like the pickup alot. Is he more of a big two guard or a small forward? I'm guessing this guy starts to move up the rankings this year too from what people have posted about him.

Basically, the pressure is really off the staff for 2018.

If they can snag the big kid, they're in great shape.

They can move on to 2019 and just be opportunistic when commitments start falling apart in spring.

This has been a really strong comeback by the staff. You have to be feeling good right now. We just need year 1/2 type coaching from KO and we'll be back in our comfort zone. Say what you want about KO, he's been a great coach in previous seasons. The ability is there.

He's both but I think he will be a shooting guard at UConn.

Just saw a video of him. The thing I really like is his length and wingspan. It really shows In the video. It will be great to have a 2 guard to be able to get off his shot easily because of 6'7" with nice wingspan. KO definitely is redeeming himself on the recruiting trail and not hoping he can get top 50 guys or nothing.
