Jalen Gaffney Visiting This Weekend

[Son of Robert]

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.

Really solid all around stats.

 

[intlzncster]

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

Could use another Jalen.

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.

Have to wait to until we have commitments, but yeah it is interesting isn't it?

 

[UChusky916]

Lots going on behind the scene’s. I have said this numerous times, the primary/top focus is 2019/2020 recruiting.

You also said numerous times that we're not done with our 2018 class... and that's not coming to fruition.
So now you're hedging and saying that the next 2 years of recruiting is a 'top focus' for a new coach with open scholarships. That isn't a bold prediction by any means, it's casual-fan level stuff.

But sure, keep up your circus show of pretending you're plugged in.

 

[Chief00]

This is a BIG visit!!!

Indeed.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Hurley is great and may make a difference but AAC vs big east,acc,big ten ...that is the toughest recruiting hurdle.

True, Hurley doesn't get it, coming from the bright lights of the Atlantic 10. Gonna be a real problem for him after the glitz and glamour of URI.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

Indeed.

Confirmed

Actually your post is proof of concept of a casual circus show.

There are a lot of moving pieces regarding our 2018 class including academic eligibility of all current players, scholarship availability and fluid assessment of our chances with 2019 targets. The most recent assessment occurred just a few weeks ago with the Heron situation. That’s all I choose to say.

As for focus on 2019 recruiting. I have posted that numerous times over the past two or three months. It’s not a new type post by me. Quite frankly, I don’t know what else to say.

 

[UofCT]

Eh. I don’t think so. Even when we weren’t winning we’re in the big preseason tournaments, big OOC games, playing at MSG, and we were still bringing in recruits. Winning will solve everything going forward

I'm over complaining about conferences. Just win baby

Careful Chief, gag order.

What are the odds on an Achiuwa and Gaffney commit this week?

Edit: NVM, saw your other post

Anyone else thinking we may go through the summer without a commit until guys see how we play ball under Hurley?

I'm not saying that is likely at all...just a question.

 

[UconnU]

His AAU play has been stellar. Has looked like the best player on a team that includes 3 top 15 kids. Shooting above 50% behind the arc.

 

[Chief00]

I know - tried to be general.

Not me.

 

[Chief00]

UCANN PREDICTION: GAFFNEY IS OUR FIRST 2019 HURLEY SIGNING. FEELING PLEASANT ABOUT THIS ONE!!!!

Wow in capitals - you are wishful thinking, I am sure, the same chain reaction that I am - if this was to be!

Now that would be a huge week.

His intangibles are also off the chart, he's hit multiple game winners, defends like a dog, plays hungry!

 

[intlzncster]

Damn, on paper, this kid sounds as good as any other of our targets.

Sounds so good you have to say it twice!

I think Jalen Gaffney is their guy. Top choice for next point guard.

 

[6xChamps]

I'm starting to convince myself that Gaffney, Achiuwa, Delaire, Cockburn, and Akok/another guard is a real possibility. Can't wait to get my heart ripped out though.

 

[Mooch82]

Give me Gaffney, Achiuwa, Delaire, Tre Mitchell, and Cockburn. Is that too much to ask?

 

[Matrim55]

That's too many bigs to ask for. We need 2 guards in this class.

 

[Mooch82]

OK...Cockburn as the plan A and Mitchell as the plan B big. Sub one of those with a guard...are we recruiting any pure 2's? I guess Bouknight or Quinones?

Correct.

 

[UconnU]

He'll be on campus tomorrow.

 

[intlzncster]

He'll be on campus tomorrow.

Hopefully our hostesses are available

 

[lange10]

And preferably a guard with a reputation as a sniper from behind the arc.

Did somebody say "Sniper"?
