James Bouknight Recruitment Update

Got Miami, Indiana, Va Tech, and Illinois offers over last weekend.

We've put in the most work and been on him the longest, I think it pays off.
 
I think he’ll recognize we were on him before he came back from his injury, and we haven’t let off one bit. Good feelings about this one.

Will be in it till the end, but recent performances have opened eyes to others. One thing we have is that we were there early and remain all over this.

Hearing the same as Zionn. We are strong but other schools are jumping on the train

Outside of already having a commitment, this is a good thing. Means he's actually a good player.

We will get Elevator James. James is a loyal kid and respects the history. He knows he can be great in Storrs.

PS: It sucks that Bouknight isn't a 2018 recruit because he would have been great with Jalen.
 
his release reminds me alot of steph curry. low near the chin, compact, quick.

**no trolls, I'm not saying he's as good as Steph Curry**

He'll be great with Dawes, Precious, and Kofi too.

Quinones shot is more reminiscent of steph imo.

Bouknight is very lamb/ray-esque to me as far as uconn comparisons

Dawes is really good. Doesn't have NBA size/athleticism so he's underrated, but dude's a prototypical 4-year college PG who can give the program stability. Whoever gets him will be glad they have him.

He reminds me of AJ Price. Not as highly regarded coming out of HS but a very similar type of player.

I have watched him 3 or 4 times. To my eye, he seems like the kind of player who will disappear in important games. His bad % shooting hurts the coach inside me too.

I would never say no if he wants to commit. Just saying I like the others better.

AJ was really a pure PG though, ran the offense, had an excellent handle.

We have no shot at any of them. New coach. Bad conference. Totally doomed.

That takes care of it.

Good to hear. Otherwise I'd be up late wasting time reading all the exciting news about recruits we're pursuing.

Indiana already has Langford so maybe that will tilt it somewhat towards UConn
Wait, see, fingers crossed

Are they selling him on Langford being a one and done though?
