Hamier Wright to Washington

[Fishy]

Kid was on our 2018 list of targets - he was going to head to Brewster for a prep year.

He reclassified to 2017 and is heading to Washington.

Sigh

I saw this but didn't realize he had reclassified. I thought it was for 2018 for some reason. I would guess if Hopkins had stayed at Syracuse it was likely he would have ended up there.

 

[huskyniner]

Guess they don't need Chillious after all.

1. "Who is this guy? I never heard of him. Recruiting sucks. Jim Calhoun wouldn't have even considered this kid!

2. We're on his Twitter list of schools? Awesome! He's the missing piece we needed! National Championship #5 baby!!

3. What? He went to another school? How does this happen? Jim Calhoun wouldn't have missed on this kid! We've become a mid-major!

4. Didn't want him anyways. Did you see his Twitter account? Bad attitude!

5. Next!

I think he would have ended up at Syracuse.

With Carter and Wright, Hopkins did a pretty good job bolstering his 2017 class with upstate NY kids. Wright's going to be a good player down the road.

Not sure if true but would be funny if his commitment to Washington c-blocks Vance Jackson who was considering Washington?

 

[superjohn]

Chillious reeling in the big tuna.

 

[Fishy]

Washington doesn't have an open scholarship for Jackson, but I think that ship had already sailed.

If he was going to commit to Washington, he would have done it a long time ago.

Not surprisingly, Jackson doesn't seem to have put together much of a cohesive plan in terms of his transfer.

Can VJ sit out the year and wait for more offers next year?

Not if he wants to play in 2018-2019; he has to sit a year in residence at his new school, so he has to land on someone's campus in September.

He's not a tuna.

Highly unusual for a kid from Albany NY to have a great relationship with a former assistant head coach at Syracuse. I mean Hopkins probably didn't meet the kid until he was 14. Can't believe Chillious lost this one too man he sucks.

Lol people here are consistent though that's for sure.

Here's the rub - you can't trot out the passive aggressive nonsense when UConn is missing out on every single kid they target.

Wright is one of those kids who lost interest in UConn during the on-off court implosion over the past year - there are a lot of kids like him in the class of 2018, so you're either going to have to refine your act or just drop it all together.

In other news AJ Reeves just commitmed to Providence. But we're doing just fine...

 

[GemParty]

I think UConn fans hoped we might bolster our 2017 class with some of Chill/Kill/Ollie relationships. In addition, I keep seeing schools land 2018 talent like PC did today. We need some Tuna in our boat. All we have is sunburn and a reel full of knots.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I hate the "Tuna" references.

Jackson does not have many good options that's for sure

 

[FASTEDDY]

Return to UCONN is his BEST OPTION.

Waiting on Mau to tell you how happy you are that UConn is a mess right now and to go cheer for PC.

Completely agree but that ship has sailed I think.

As far as I'm concerned I don't have to refine anything. Thinking its okay to have an opinion here unless that's changed that's my rub.
