How active is campus during summer?

Was up there yesterday. I think the construction workers outnumbered the students...

Haha, I went up there for a tour 2 summers ago and the only students I saw were the ones giving the campus tour.

I hope they didn't have him on one of those boring ass tours.

Yeah the UConn tours weren't that great. Worst tour is Rutgers. You climb on a bus and go between their mini-campuses.

 

[UconnU]

Has a similar build, shot and flow to Jeremy Lamb. Seems like a great fit with the team...hopefully he commits soon!

In person his frame looks bigger than it does in these pictures online. I think most of these pictures are older.

 

[CL82]

So any word on how it went?

 

[Gwynning]

Doesn't look like a PG to me. Resembles Jeremy Lamb minus a few inches IMO.

 

[UconnU]

He's just as tall and lengthy as lamb, easily 6'4. He's also more aggressive defensively and more fluid. Doesn't have quite the stroke Lamb had.

 

[Vancat]

So nobody knows nothin' about the visit?

 

[YoungFree]

We need to land a big time PG for 2019.
That’s the absolute 1st priority.

In comparison to landing a Top 50 frontcourt guy? I thought our focus would be on bringing in Precious, Akok, or Cockburn. But then again I am not a D1 basketball coach.

 

[YoungFree]

I was gonna say. A torn meniscus isn't a big deal at all. It's an extremely common injury

Yeah I had two, in the same knee and am doing fine. Still run a 1.5 mile in 10:34-11:15 and put in about 50-60 miles a month. That's some heavy wear and tear on your knees.

We have no more insiders and definitely less people pretending to be insiders.

Not exactly true. Those in the know have mentioned that Hurley and co. keep recruiting a lot more tight-lipped than the former regime.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Heard it went well but both he and the staff are keeping their options open.

 

[UconnU]

He has an offer correct?

 

[YoungFree]

He has an offer correct?

247sports shows he does

It's going to be really interesting to see what he brings to the table at Peach Jam.
