Give me 2 of Bouknight, Quinones, Dawes, Gaffney along with Achiuwa + Akok/Cockburn and I’m thrilled.

I am pretty sure we would all be absolutely thrilled with that class. Heck, I would be thrilled with Precious and Bouknight and any other 3 recruits.

Please don't take this the wrong way, because I do enjoy your posts, but I have to ask: are you a moderator or just an extra preachy regular guy?

Anything I do to moderate the impact of bullies, bloviators, trolls, and the aggressively self-certain; call out and rein in bad manners; and defend the distinction between what's plural and what's possessive (or a contraction) is strictly vigilante behavior. It attempts to compensate for my utter lack of inside information and how little I know about basketball, all in service of promoting a healthy fandom of UConn Men's Basketball and a collegial atmosphere for OT posts.
I'm often done in by verbosity and a compulsively meta sense of humor, which can be tiresome & confusing, and lead to a need to take a break from myself.
Even knowing with certainty that the request is futile, I wish for and continually wonder why we can't all just get along.
Or something.
 
Gotta like a kid who rewards those that stood by him - it shows character. Given the recruiting environment today I believe few kids would react this way if they were being recruited heavily by other schools.

The bigger guard is Richie Springs. Looks like they’re probably friends so getting Bouknight might help with Springs in 2020.

It should definitely help. They play on both PSA and Macduffie together. Hurley also recruited Dana Tate of Macduffie to URI. Franck Kepnang is a 2021 stud big who goes there as well.

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

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