James Bouknight OV 9/14

MacDuffie to Uconn pipeline in the works?

Probably. Not exactly a school pumping out elite talent though.

Bouknight has really gotten thicker since he was hurt. And his shot is much improved. Good to see he was working on what he could when injured

Run on sentences there Hans .

4 by my count.
Would I have been better served spending the same time ogling women younger than my daughter at The Acoustic?

Wait...what?! (Looking surprised)

 

[MDHuskFan]

I don’t like that at all

 

[intlzncster]

I don’t like that at all

I mean, why?

No real info other than I don’t like them getting added late. Miami makes sense cause.... who wouldn’t want to go to Miami? VT getting the first visit & now is 3rd just doesn’t sit well. May be nothing & others have actual info on this but VT has def pulled off some surprises in the past. Weren’t we in on Clarke that ended up @ VT?

I wouldn’t worry VT brought in a SG this year and already have another SG committed for 19 and are the leaders for Anthony Harris. I think we’re in goos shape.

 

[uconnbill]

I have no issue with taking a free trip as UConn is still in the leader seat.

 

[BFieldHusky]

We are in great shape. Kids like to take visits and get the attention.

Like that he scheduled the visit before ours. Hope/narrative that he'll commit on our visit remains plausible.

If he's thinking of committing on his OV to us, it makes sense he'd try to get other schools in first, so he has something to compare us to. It comes down to -- there's always competition, you always have to win a competitive battle. I like our chances.

Wow hes a legit 6'5-6'6, didnt think he was that tall. Would be super exciting to get him

Yea he’s about 6’5, Very skilled. Catches ball immediately goes into the triple threat position. Soft touch on his shots that will go in at a high %. Very talented player. Even if he was 6’2 he would still be playing major college ball with his skill level. He reminds me a Ray Allen a little(not saying he’s that talented) but similar stature and game.

An update from Corey Evans on Bouknight:

“Rivals150 guard James Bouknight announced his final five last week: Indiana, UConn, Miami, VCU and Virginia Tech. While he has scheduled a visit for Miami, and VCU may have recruited Bouknight the longest, UConn and Indiana sit in the best spot for him.

If I had to select one as the program to beat, UConn might be it. Much still has to play out in the coming weeks with Bouknight, and his visits to his finalists should clarify things further. However, the Huskies and Hoosiers are the ones to beat for one of the better shot-makers in the class of 2019”
