Erhunmwunse Oswin

His name is unpronounceable.

I don't think we want Mr Unpronounceable.

Or any other Unpronounceable, as I think on it.

Great pick up for them. Unpopular opinion around here but I like Providence. I think they're in really good hands with Kim English.

A lot of talk on their board about Sanon. It's been really quiet here about guys we're involved with for '25.
 
Here's Finkelstein saying it, and i'm still a little confused at how many silent letters there are.
Sounds like: urm-woon-see ???

 
Recruiting has definitely picked up at most BE schools. As of right now, 7 BE schools have top 50 recruiting classes per 247. Last year there were 6 but 4 were in the 40-50 range and in 2022 there was only 3.

Sanon is an absolute pipe dream for PC. But I guess that have as good a shot as anyone…

Strange group of teams for a top 25 kid. Oklahoma, Providence, Georgia Tech, and Creighton.

Geographically and academically all over the place and not exactly 5* contenders.

Yeah, once I saw the contenders I sorta figured there’s something up here(not inherently bad). I’m sure we woulda been in if it was a “good fit,” but we’ll be alright.

I would have a response to this but I'm on hiatus.

Yeah I can't figure out that list at all. Good for PC though, I enjoyed their team (pre-Hopkins injury) and English is a good guy and appears to be a decent coach. Still can't stand a good amount of their fans.

Eerily quiet. I know the staff isn't just sitting back and waiting but since the fall there has been almost nothing about UConn from the 2025 class. I wonder who they're prioritizing?

Oh definitely.

Plus, "Big O" and "Big E" are already long since taken.

Somehow, this thread brought to mind my first encounter with the APBA game card pictured below. It had never occurred to my teenage self that a Major League Baseball player could be almost universally known by a shortened, Americanized name, in order to make things easier for fans, teammates, sportswriters, etc. Even before I did my search for this image, I excitedly recalled the full family name he shared with his father.

That's all Greek to me.

You may end up being right but Sanon has been on PC’s campus many times over the last couple of months. He is Oswin’s AAU teammate, and we are definitely in it with KE. Before KE? No chance and he never considered PC an option. His 1st visit to PC changed that.

*I edited this to remove some info from our premium subscriber board. The gist is still here though.
