Jalen Lecque

[WrenchFan69]

Ship has probably sailed but this can't hurt

 

[6xChamps]

Keep in mind that like a week or two ago someone asked Sid Wilson if he was recruiting anyone to UConn and I think he tagged Lecque, Kofi, and Precious. Wilson also went to Brewster.

Edit: link here Sidney Wilson helping Hurley recruit

 

[Hoophound]

This is good news for us.

 

[MDHuskFan]

God I need this recruiting stuff to end. If we got Precious & Lecque.....

 

[RipCity]

Hurley was never mentioned watching him this spring/summer, so it would be kind of surprising to see us jump in.

It’s a little surprising we aren’t actively recruiting Lecque (Brewster), Kai Jones (Brewster), or Terrence Shannon (Woodstock Acad).

Shot 15.8% from 3 in AAU this year and isn’t a true PG. His stock has definitely fallen more than his ranking shows.

15.8%? Jeez.

I know 9 year olds that shoot better than that

UCLA is a blue blood.

UCLA is a blue blood.

eehhh

 

[upstater]

Wow--stunning. UCLA and one school about to go on probation, then a whole lot of nothin'.

Game is all about shooters. Especially if youre an undersized guard.

 

[Walker11]

He probably wants to be featured from day 1. A lot more likely than the rest of this conjecture.

 

[auror]

eehhh

It's not debatable.

Whether being a blue blood matters in today's world is an entirely different debate.

 

[UConnStats]

He is an athletic freak. If he can get defenses to respect his 3 at least, he’ll be one of the most fun players to watch. Going to Brewster will be good for him.

It is. You can lose that status(ie Indiana). Duke, UK, KU, and UNC are the only college basketball programs who act and are treated as blue bloods.

I think the bigger question is, what makes you a blue blood.

ESPN having invested a lot of money in your conference.

Dude i disagree. When were they last consistently relevent? Over 20 years ago? I don't even think a UCLA offer moves the needle for recruits now-a-days.

In the real world, blue blood means you are descended from nobility, or in Americana are descended from old money.

The key concept for the term is the bloodline, the tradition. You cannot lose blue blood status because it relates to the traditional, historical college basketball powers, of which there are 6: Kentucky, UCLA, UNC, Duke, Kansas, and Indiana (5/6 of which happen to have blue jerseys).

If you want to use a term to mean current, important, powerful programs, might I suggest "marquee programs". This relates to something being "on the marquee", or being currently featured in the bright lights. These can change over time.

As I said, whether being a blue blood matters in today's world is an entirely different debate.

They made 3 straight final fours 10 years ago.

So because a team has a rough patch that excludes them from being a blue blood? Cuz we’ve had some very rough patches in our history. You don’t just become unqualified after a few years of struggles.

Okay that makes sense. Thanks for the breakdown. I always thought it meant the national powers of CBB. Like some years ago when people were debating whether UConn was becoming a blue blood.
