I had secretly been wishing we'd be linked to this kid more often because I haven't been wowed by our PG prospects (with the exception of Watts who isn't coming here). Really stoked to see our name in the ring. Go Danny Go

 

[superjohn]

Want. He is seriously underrated.

 

[Chief00]

Lots going on behind the scene’s. I have said this numerous times, the primary/top focus is 2019/2020 recruiting. Sure, Danny is changing the work culture and will have the team compete hard this year; but I can't emphasize enough the focus on recruiting.

 

[Stainmaster]

From a layman's perspective, that offer list bodes well for us. Decent programs whom we should be pulling from the same talent pool as, but nobody Hurley can't beat.

 

[UconnU]

Yes Yes and Yes. He would fit perfectly in our system, is seriously underrated.

I just remembered that I ate at a Blaze Pizza a couple weeks ago. Not bad!

did you talk to someone or is that just a guess?

I talked to someone and made an educated guess.

 

[UconnU]

Keep in mind, this visit is more than just Gaffney... It's also Idegon in a sense.

Elaborate?

They play for the same AAU team. The team may be visiting

It would be very, very good if the whole team were visiting. Getting Jabri Abdur Rahim on campus early would be good, and even though we don't have any chance, it'd be good optics to have Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis visit.

19 is a make or break year for us and I'm all in on make.

Hot take. Break sounds enticing too..

I reallly like Gaffney for apart of this class. Undersized guard who can ball out

I wouldn't called him undersized. He's listed at 6'2" and 6'3" depending on the site; he's probably pretty right around Jalen's height

 

[UConnStats]

As I’ve said before, I love this kid’s game. He was top 3 in assists and assist to turnover ratio among PGs at NBA Top 100 camp too.

UAA Stats: 25.6 MPG, 13.9 PPG, 53% FG, 51% 3P on 4.4 3PA/G, 79% FT, 5.6 APG, 3.38 RPG, 1.4 SPG.

Wow. And 51% 3P??? YES PLEASE!

Chief is big on assist to turnover ratio

 

[HuskyHawk]

79% from the line too. Impressive.

Really like the idea of a PG that can play off the ball a bit early on, since Gilbert will likely be the primary PG in 2019-20. Seems a good fit.

 

[Block C]

It’s funny how we change coaches and now the recruits are interested in coming to UConn. I bet this will be a quick turn around for us.

 

[Kmba2Rmemba]

Wow. And 51% 3P??? YES PLEASE!

Great numbers and some solid offers (Xavier, VT, Florida, Seton Hall). Odd how low his ranking is, or maybe we're just missing something.

We had plenty of interest with KO. We just didn't manage to land many of them. I'm cautiously optimistic about Hurley but he hasn't landed anyone of significance yet either. If Hurley can get one piece to fall then others may follow. Hurley does seem to bring a lot of energy to the job and recruits will sense that.
