ESPN on Precious Achiuwa

[UconnFanDC]

Hopefully! I think Carlton as a junior would be better than Wahab as a freshman. So if passing on Wahab means targeting precious, then going after a big man for 2020, sounds good to me!

I like your way of thinking

Serious question; Why were UConn coaches 3 deep at his recent games if we are totally out of it? You’ve been pretty dead on over the years but wondering what you know that the staff doesn’t apparently know.

Might be fighting the tide or perhaps they are being misled. Or Zionn is misinformed.

 

[NowInStorrs]

“I am 35% sure he’s going to UConn;
65% sure he’s not because that’s all that’s left over;
and 100% sure I have no idea what’s going on.”

60% of the time it works every time.

The idea that a message board fan who is almost undoubtedly getting his information from a booster or a low level staffer knows more than the head coach is something else. I do think he goes to UNC.

Did Zionn "Next" Hamidou?

So you agree with him but you disparage him... confused.

I am not presenting my guess as a fact. Zionn's "next" has an perfect track record. But this seems more like a well educated guess. I find the idea that he knows better than Hurley pretty silly. Maybe Hurley is just a fan of Precious and is watching him for fun.

Hurley could be fighting a losing battle who knows but Zionn's track record speaks for itself.

Not happening.....

2019 Recruiting: - Precious Update

 

[The Viking]

Not happening.....

So if I'm understanding this correctly:

Hurley and his staff are wasting their nights in a high school gym still recruiting him.
Precious is not telling them he has no interest in UConn.
Precious is telling others he has no interest in UConn
Those others or extensions of those others are where Zionn is getting his information.

Am I missing something?

I seriously doubt it's an educated guess, I would assume somebody told him he isn't coming here.

But neglected to tell the guy who is paid millions to have this information. Not saying he’s wrong but he should share that sh it with Dan.

Zionn is wrong or Hurley is a dumb . I'll hope for the former.

It's got real bits of panther, so you know it's good.

 

[gtcam]

Just named as a McD's AA
Great for him but that may make the recruitment road a bit bumpier but in reality he was probably already considered to be that designation.

I agree it's strange.

Are head coaches infallible evaluators of their own standing with recruits? The last two years here beg to differ.

It's not unheard of for recruits/their camps to be less than forthright with coaches either.

I think and hope the last 2 years were an anomaly. It was actually a joke by the end with how misinformed the staff was. I would have expected Kimani to be as plugged into PA's recruitment as anyone considering he was the director of his AAU program for 7 years.

 

[NEforceUConn]

It's going to be Christmas, unless he likes UNC's academic rigor

 

[AntG168]

No way we have no chance. Hurley and staff aren’t idiots

I would hope so too. Hurley also seems like the guy who would hear that a recruit had moved on and just keep grinding (cringe).

Hurley’s been involved in recruiting on the college side for 12 plus years. He knows the deal. The Hoophall Classic games had good players all over the place, and it’s never a bad idea to keep up relationships with Montverde and New Heights people.

That’s true
