UF clearly in the lead IMO....just a guess really
Things can change though because Florida is thought to be the leader for 5 star PG/Combo guard Tre Mann.

Scheduling an OV 2 months in advance to a place that it’s expensive to travel to doesn’t prove much to me. It’s a $40 car ride to visit UConn, and a $350 flight to Gainesville. You’re better off visiting distant schools for free. I don’t think we should be counting ourselves out.

Of course, if he waits too long the ship will have sailed with UConn at least with the point guard position.

This is an underrated point that intlzncster has often tried to explain to the casual fan on here.

I hear you but if elite SEC, ACC, B10, B12, PAC10 or even the top NBE teams are in play - where does UConn fall?

I think that it matters to the team as not all teams are equal or on the same playing field. I believe UConn is ahead of most schools not named Kentucky, Duke, UNC, Kansas and a couple of others.

Are they an Adidas school? Why all of a sudden are they making inroads with so many of these great 5 star guys?

So big question, does anyone have a list of the guys we are recruiting and what company their AAU team is sponsored by? I have a guy who works for me who is knees deep in sports journalism at college and he says the true tell if a recruit has a bigger chance to go to your school is if his AAU sponsor matches who puts out your schools' uniforms. I don't know much about all that but it would be interesting to look at this for the recruits this year and see what the last 5-6 classes looked like to....if someone was bored and had the time to put this together I would be interested.

So based on my guys' theory we have a better chance landing Watts, Cockburn, Dawes, Bouknight, and Mitchell....I'd say that is a strong class.

Now we need to compare that with what other schools are recruiting these guys....analytics at its best....lol.

It was thought to be the case, but it doesn't hold up in reality. I don't think it matters. We've seen kids who say "I'm a Nike guy" go to Adidas schools. I think they just talk up that stuff to get on the radar for later endorsement opportunities.
