If hami indeed picks UK a lot of people in the program would be shocked and disappointed. If this love affair with UK always existed. Then he led a lot of people on. Including KO
 
Who are the quality recruits we likely would have landed in his place over the past year?

Unless the announcement is that he's staying at PSA. Recruitment then lives on. Damnit I wish we signed Beatty.

If we miss on Hamidou I'd personally rather have a postgrad for next year -- a kid who can walk into the lineup and understand the speed of the college game.

Beatty is a good talent, but is unlikely to contribute at a high level until his sophomore year at the earliest.

So you're hearing it's a done deal that he's not coming here?

Haven't heard that. But I do know that KO and the staff are scrambling to get in touch with Hami. It's not over....yet

KO and staff should have followed-up with Hami after Calipari visited him .......

If it's a post grad who is willing to play the role of a glue guy - a la Lasan Kromah (perhaps a little bit more of a gifted scorer off the bench) - I agree. Because if Diallo doesn't commit I think Ollie's next move is to build around our big 3 (Alterique, Jalen and Larrier).

I've stated multiple times that I'm no insider. But in this situation I know a couple ppl friends with hami and Mamadou.

I don't know....as far as I'm concerned if he's considering Kentucky this strongly, he should go there. Takes a different mentality to come to UConn and maybe he doesn't have it. (And no, that's not a rationalization. If kid wants a showcase for his one and done talent on his rest stop to the NBA, let him go to Kentucky. If he truly was bought in to UConn and how he could help the program and not just himself, he would have committed already.)

Personally I'd rather have a real sniper to play at SG with Alterique as the PG off the bench. Keep the ball in Jalen's hands as much as possible, play Larrier at the 3, and sometimes go to a 3-guard set with Larrier as a smallball 4.

Matt Mobley from St. Bonaventure is probably the most interesting guy potentially available. Averaging 20/6/3 on 44/41/85 shooting splits, and has done it against solid comp.
 
If he goes to UK, I really hope he sticks it to Cal and heads for the 2017 NBA Draft.
