Jalen Gaffney OV This Weekend

[Mokum]

You covered all the bases. Who outside the USofA would realize all these pressures and nuances to fielding a basketball team?

2nd Crystal Ball pick for the good guys in 12 hours... and from the Kentucky guy, no less. Here's to hoping that the wave of momentum these guys are seeing along with a few of you insiders on this board is real and he never makes it to the Clemson OV.

Sorry for the rudimentary cut and pasting skills.... but you all get the point

 

[HawkHusky]

I hate foggy picks. What's the point? Either make a prediction or don't.

Rant over.

Keep him away from Clemson OV. Beautiful campus! Newly renovated basketball facilities. ACC. Tournament team last year. Underrated coach. They also have a great dairy bar. Plus all the extras. Big time football, great weather, not to mention the coeds! Plus, they just lost out on the top in state recruit so they will be going extra hard to land JG.

Football (and baseball) season is the only time I say this -- Go Cocks!!

Just got off the phone - yesterday went very well!
Main concern - I wished he had already gone on a couple OV visits. To pick UConn now he is giving up a OV to Clemson.

This is a compliment sandwich. Taking the OV to Clemson is not a good sign

Pretty sure they only do that when they’ve made a pick, and they don’t feel good about it anymore.

I don’t know - if he did I can’t blame him for wanting the experience - but I think he likes UConn either way.

Clemson’s new Baseball facility is simply amazing.

If I played there I wouldn’t even need a dorm. I would legit just live there.

Where are our spies? I need a lunch-time update.

The attention Hurley and his staff give a recruit on an OV is off the charts.

Chief’s strategy is to stay out of the way and catch up at the end of the day or beginning of the next day.

Given the gag order I won’t comment on the previous regime’s approach. In the early years Jim would have them over to his house for an early dinner and a meeting in his office at some point. Howie would be the airport chauffeur. If they could survive his driving - they would play with guts. And other than the GM tour of facilities - they would hang with the guys and play some b-ball.
The obsession with the class catalog came post Calhoun - perhaps as a response to the APR cloud.

I like how they try to get you to pay for the inaccurate guy and then give you his pick anyway.

Smart move. Don’t make it about Chief. Keep the focus on the player.

Yeah, but you're in the Netherlands, whose people love the USofA, and probably will start following UConn basketball if you develop a special UConn tattoo and trademark it.

 

[CL82]

Mmm too positive a thread ....

Doomed.

When I was tattooing in CT, I did draw up a special design after our first NC. I got to look through boxes of my old stuff and see if I can find it.

Keep him away from a TV at all costs. The news on ESPN news is already brutal.

Fortunately, ESPNnews is not available on the UConn campus.

Can't hurt if they happen to pass him on the campus tour

Can you imagine being a player and letting your man get by you for a rebound, knowing you made a mistake and promising to yourself that you'll never let that happen again. You're fired up ready to make up for it.

Instead...

Coach Hurley gets in your face and sits you down.
Coach Moore comes over to build you back up.
You're good, ready to get back in there.
Then Senior chimes in from behind the bench " He's not ready to play. Don't put him back in Danny.

At the half you make the mistake of looking over at Calhoun on the way to the locker room. He's staring at you. You look him in the eyes trying to communicate that you know, it won't happen again and he's just shakes his head.

Brutal

Some of the guys posted pics of a Welcome to UConn cake. Wonder if it's for Gaffney, Kyrie, or both?

Hurley Sr. wearing Husky blue. He looks good in that shirt.
