Football has it's own Kasongo!!!

Oh, ok...

 

[Dooley]

Yeah, if he's already backing out of his verbal less than 24 hours after he made it, it's probably time to move on. Shame because I think his size and agility could have helped us in our return game and lined up in the slot, ala Larry Taylor a few years ago. Oh well.

 

[huskymedic]

Who knows how this will turn out but seems kind of irresponsible for Des to be openly speculating about a commit.

In retrospect - I'm thinking someone whispered in Des' ear on this one...

 

[UConn Dan]

Dude must have been playing us. We just got Kasongo'ed again

 

[dsturdy5]

wtf. Which man killed it for UConn? Desmond conner?

The Cuse alum is getting bonus $ from the ACC to derail UConn's recruiting.

 

[Dooley]

In retrospect - I'm thinking someoen whispered in Des' ear on this one...

My first thought too. Coaches can't make comments on kids but maybe a staffer tipped him off that no offer was ever made and this was news to them.

 

[sportsart]

First off Des is a SU fan. Second...give credit where credit is due...Des smelled something funny about it.

I think it was the BY and people questioning his ability due to his height. Nice job guys.

Or he just got an email from the the UConn staff saying you can't commit because we haven't offered yet.

Welcome to the Dog Pound, Moses!!!

I don't know who this player is but ima open my "dog pound welcome" back up and just wait until February signing day...

I was just about to post that! Lol if this kid is too thin skinned to pull out b/c of a comment from a beat writer!

Well that didn't take long.

yup not faulting DC at all, he was prob tipped off by staff that no offer out.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Yeah I thought that was obvious. I don't see anything here that Dez was irresponsible.

 

[Dooley]

Stop blaming Dez on this one guys. There was obviously something fishy here if the kid is pulling his verbal less than 24 hours after he made it. Heck, less than 12 hours after he made it. Probably never had an offer ( at least not yet) and after this, it's unlikely he will get one now. Dez probably got tipped off by somebody or put two and two together that nobody recruited this kid and it would be odd of UCONN to offer blind off of tape.

 

[UConn Dan]

Moses just DM'd on twitter (after I tweeted des about him being right)

Basically saying that DC (without using his name) was the reason that he de-committed so fast. "Yall still in the running though"Not sure if I even want to respond.

Does this kid even exist?

 

[tcf15]

Yeah, this kid seems to have a lot of fun with social media. He reached out to me a couple of times to make him UConn edits on Twitter and I obliged. After one of them he told me that if the pic got either 50 favorites or 50 retweets, he would commit to UConn.



You're basing the next 4 years of your life off of Twitter? From there, I knew there was something fishy with the whole recruitment, and Dez's comments are a solid confirmation for me.

 

[Dooley]

247 says he made an unofficial visit to UCONN on 4/17 and that Oregon State offered him yesterday.

• Apr 24
  
  
  
  Offer
• Apr 17
  
  
  
  U. Visit
  4/17/2014: Moses Mayes unofficially visits Connecticut Huskies
  

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

This kid is dating Manti Te'o.

No D1 school is recruiting a kid this size unless he is an off the charts talent. Which he is not.

 

[Dooley]

And now I've been reminded why I don't follow recruiting as closely as others. This kind of stuff drives me nuts. Seems like he's just trying to get more traffic to his Twitter profile.

Next...

 

[huskymedic]

You take all recruiting news with a sizable grain of salt until NLOI Signing Day but...

Supposedly Coach Wayne Lineburg offered.

Me too. I'll poke around a bit but my God following recruiting is painful and it's just not fun for me personally.

 

[tcf15]

Another moment I started to feel this was all a bunch of BS? When he said this after he committed:

Gents, on the recent commitment from a football player...move on. Not real and not on the radar. UConn has no 2015 commits.
