Jalen Gaffney official visit

[Wordbomar]

All the earlier optimistic recruiting talk is rapidly getting flushed. No Bouknight yet is a bad sign. Maybe we should drop basketball. Lol

Bouknight is deciding tonight.

 

[sirjames]

He doesn't play SG for Imhotep, but maybe he would at Xavier.

He is listed as a CG on 247 sports

Bouknight is deciding tonight.

Let's hope he picks UConn. All the "done deal" talk has me worried though.

For any insiders, what are the chances we lock this one up this weekend??

The dam will continue to break.

I better see some good dam/dam good signs at Gampel/XL this year.

This begs the question(Because who doesn't love getting ahead of themselves), who do you think schedules the next OV? My moneys on Akak.

we need a lot from them this year. We need signs, spinners, etc. It's become dull. We have a new coach with a lot of energy in the program right now.

Love spinners.

Reading what's available, it seems like the two studs, Kofi and Precious will wait til spring, when all the offers to the big boys shake out.

What are your thoughts?

 

[Son of Robert]

Agreed.

Yesssssss!

BasketballRecruiting.Rivals.com - Wednesday's Leftovers: Dishing on Duke, UNC and plenty of prospects
For now, I like UConn and St. John’s in the race for Gaffney’s pledge. The Huskies moved up their official visit with the well-rounded guard to this weekend and while they did just take the pledge of James Bouknight, they do need another guard in the 2019 class. St. John’s will have to wait until next month to host Gaffney, but with where things sit now, I like the Red Storm and UConn, and the Huskies might be pushing for his pledge this weekend.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Is the staff trying to get all or most of these kids committed before the season starts?

Pretty much - but using September and October for official visits ahead of the signing period in November is just standard operating procedure at most schools.

It should read his "...dam pledge...." this weekend

Clemson was trending for him, so will be interesting to see what happens with their interest in Gaffney after James picked Tennessee. Don't think it will matter though.

 

[Com'rGordon]

Fwiw, Jalen's dad favorited pretty much every single Bouknight - UConn tweet, including ones that said our focus now shifts to Jalen to lock up a top 100 backcourt.

Just happy to see Duke losing out to programs like Villanova and Tennessee now.

 

[kansashusky]

Gotta close this weekend!

I won't believe it until I see it, but there was a reddit conspiracy theory that Coach K is retiring after this season, which is why they got their big 3, Baker reclassified, and why they lost out on Antoine, James, and likely Carey.

Side note: I'm very happy to not be a Clemson fan today

Would Capel really have taken the Pitt job if K was retiring?
