James Akinjo

Check out Oz in the corner with Ricky Moore. I guess he is very connected with the program and coaching staff.

Oz is very very connected

We've seen this story before. I'll believe he's coming here when he officially commits. Until then, we've seen way too many recruits who have been in love with UConn all of a sudden lose interest in the 11th hour, and it's getting hard to believe it won't happen here.

You mean when he steps foot on campus for classes.

Is Carey slipping away? Or hoping to get 1 or 2 of the 3?

Carey's gone.

He was very very wrong on Diallo. But maybe he has good sources who were clueless.

In his defense the staff thought they had Diallo.

Staff was late to understanding that

The timeline is that he was going to enroll at UConn one weekend, Calipari got wind of it, swept in, convinced him not to, and he ended up at UK. All in the span of a week.

No.

That exact situation happens everywhere. It happens to Nick Saban and the best of them. There are kids who commit silently and then shock the prior coaching staff when they end up announcing for elsewhere. It is not the first time it's happened, and you can't blame that on Miller. He was going to UConn until the late UK rush.

Seems like the staff is a bit delusional or naive to think that slippery recruiters do not exist. Never throttle when your going uphill and boy are we going uphill.

Question is...did they learn their lesson? Seems (not validated) that they are cutting their losses a bit sooner on unrealistic recruits, perhaps the "Chill" effect.

He's been very wrong on nearly everything for a while.

Tip: a college basketball coaching staff isn't going to divulge state secrets to someone who will put them on the internet three minutes later.
