I don't often say this about recruits, but Jalen Adams would be making a big mistake if he committed anywhere but UConn. We've had two point guards drafted in the first round over the last four years, both of whom entered Storrs as comparable prospects to Adams. Between Napier and Walker, you're talking about two guys who UConn molded into stars. And not only were they embraced, seasoned, and finalized here, but they were also featured as the focal point of our offense, and ultimately, given the platform to become household names.
Is it going to suck when you have to play Tulsa, East Carolina, and Tulane every year? Yeah. But you're also playing for a program whose brand is increasing exponentially, plays a national schedule, and is going to have an opportunity to play deep into March every season. When you play at UConn, exposure isn't going to be a problem, whether we play in the Big Ten or the American East. Not to mention, you're playing for a guy who played 12 years in the NBA, is drowning in league contacts, and is one of the most personable/inspirational people you're ever going to meet. I'm a UConn fan, but I'm a bigger college basketball fan. You're not getting the same opportunity to make it in the league at Louisville as you are here, you're just not. Jalen should do himself a favor and shut down the recruiting process. There's nothing to think about, nothing to talk about, nothing to consider. Everything he needs is 80 miles south, just ask the last point guard from Roxbury.
