Carey's dad liked a tweet of a cuse fan saying to pick them... maybe they don't agree? Another kid wants UConn, parent wants school X situation?

Many things have changed since then - not only staff but approach - we are no longer recruiting with one hand tied behind our back. But, more importantly its attitude. Totally different. An AD who would rather support us winning recruiting battles than take bows for perfect APR scores.

Jalen already out of meeting with boeheim.

I feel like a creep lol

I take this as either:
1. Boeheim knows he's getting Carey and he was just checking in
2. Jalen doesn't want to hear Boeheim's crap and had enough

This is the age of sports free agency roulette, all that the incoming impact players really care about at the end of the day is: exposure (E) x play time (T).

E x T = P (the pitch, or what the program in question is offering the incoming impact player)

*note: I found the above equation scribbled in between mad ramblings in Chief00's Briefs notebook.

At the end of the day UConn and Cuse offer similar exposure to a kid like Carey, the deciding factor will be whose pitch for play time he and his camp accept as truth. It's up to KO to sell his multi guard system that never adheres to the traditional 1 and 2 spots exclusively for guards, and that at times 4 ball handlers and play makers could be on the court together. If Carey and his camp continue to harp on his insistence on filling a certain positional role like we saw on the Zags article then I would think it hurts our chances since Cuse has less options at what he claims to want.
 
Everyone can imagine a scenario where he goes to Syracuse. The distinction is describing Cuse's position as "head and shoulders above UConn."

Can't be sure, but it sounds like KO eased Carey's mind about there being another 2018 PG on board. That would be a big lift.

It sounds like they at least dealt with the issue of PT and PG but he still sounds like a Syracuse lean. The relationship with KO may make the difference if he chooses UConn.
 
If he chooses cuse.I hope we meet them in the garden next year and AG,vital,akinjo and any other guards we have go nuts on them.

Can't argue with the part that KO needs to refine the sell narrative on the position less combo guard - I guess Golden State might be a pro example and how we prepare you for that type of system. I think in the Northeast - especially NYC/NJ many are point guard centric.
Another thing - when a coach tells you he won't recruit your position if you sign its total BS. A coach's job is to recruit the best players he thinks he has a chance of signing. Injuries, disappointments and guys leaving early are reasons you need to keep the pipeline flowing.

This is true. Didn't curry play more of a Ben Gordon type role at Davidson? I thought they had another primary ball handler during their wild run to the E8
 
This kid is a program changer, if we are that close we need put + into locking him up...

True difference maker, will bring this current program to another level...
 
So this is the buzz I am hearing. Dad is big into the acc. Wants his kid playing against duke and unc on tv. Not Tulane or central Florida. Very important to dad. Could be talk ..... It sound very close between cuse and uconn . Could go either way.

Guess he didn't see our schedule that go released.

I'm not blind to the ACC to AAC but once you get past UNC and Duke, our schedule isn't that far off.

Nova, Zona, Wichita, Cinci, Nike tourney...

Also father thinks that his son will be all conference when he is ready to go to the NBA and being all conference ACC sounds much better than all conference AAC
