Rivals contributed a couple of FutureCasts, too.
Not sure who HoustonWilson is, but Stratton Stave is a UConn Rivals writer. Not sure if he actually has any inside info though
What about Billy Richmond?I too wanted Howard over Abraham but Abraham is a good player in his own right and if it helps with Ngongba, yes please. Agree with others. Nowell, Betsey would be great to round it out. Cherry is Edgecombe
Abraham, Ngongba, Nowell, and Betsey would give us a 67.5 using 247’s calculator - right below the rating for the 2023 class. Would be back to back top 5ish classes. Adding Edgecombe to it would put the 2024 class ahead of 2023 - but not sure 2 5 man classes is realistic.I too wanted Howard over Abraham but Abraham is a good player in his own right and if it helps with Ngongba, yes please.

That is what it takes to be elite year after year. You need a worker as a HC. And we have one in Dan. This is the type of ish that puts us on the map as a permanent fixture in the sweet 16Abraham, Ngongba, Nowell, and Betsey would give us a 67.5 using 247’s calculator - right below the rating for the 2023 class.

Newton, Spencer, Clingan and Castle are all expected to be gone via graduating or NBA, Diarra graduates (has an extra yr), and that thing we can't talk about happens. 5 man class (even back to back) doesn't seem all that unrealistic any more especially if they're all top 50-75ish like that group.Abraham, Ngongba, Nowell, and Betsey would give us a 67.5 using 247’s calculator - right below the rating for the 2023 class.

Fair, I’d love another amazing 5 man class. But it might be tough to convince 5 more top 100 players to come here though in addition to the 4 players from 2023 we could still have the roster. That’s 9 top 100ish players competing for minutesNewton, Spencer, Clingan and Castle are all expected to be gone via graduating or NBA, Diarra graduates (has an extra yr), and that thing we can't talk about happens. 5 man class (even back to back) doesn't seem all that unrealistic any more especially if they're all top 50-75ish like that group.
The Blue Bloods like Kentucky and Duke do this all the time. Get the best players and let the cream rise and play the best and most ready while developing the others. Chances are all 5 frosh won't be ready for primetime right out of the shoot. For every Clingan there is a DeAndre Daniels that takes some time.Fair, I’d love another amazing 5 man class.
