Very happy to be wrong about a potential wait on his commitment.

This staff is absolutely lethal when they lock onto a kid and get him on campus. I imagine the distance from home wasn’t easy to navigate but they really seem to have made Jaylin and his family feel comfortable and bringing the other guys on campus at the same time was brilliant. Excellent, excellent job.

This kid is going to be so good. I mentioned Cumberland in the other thread, but he has a similar vibe to the Champagnie brothers as well. Pure scorers that are a pain the ass to deal with due to their size and ability to hit the three.

Beyond the kids, I’m sure momma Castle was a positive as well. One mother sending her kid away to another.

Assume all the guys we think can go (Newton/Alleyne/Andre/Hawkins/Sanogo), will go. That’s a terrifying thought. Most of your production all gone in one offseason. That could ruin a team.

We’ll come back with:
PG - Stephon Castle/Hassan Diarra
SG - Solomon Ball
SF - Jaylin Stewart/Jayden Ross
PF - Alex Karaban/Samson Johnson
C - Donovan Clingan

That’s before any other recruits (cough Singare cough) and before any potential transfers. Doesn’t even include the international guys we just picked up.

Wow.
 
Andre? I don’t see him going yet. Stewart makes every shot on the highlight tapes but he is smoothly scoring from all areas of the floor and in different ways, jumpers, backing in and fading away. Tremendous touch and he’s built very solid. Once he gets our trainers strengthening him watch out.

It’s great to tell them the truth, and it’s also great to have kids who are self aware, understand their strengths, limitations, and have a willingness to work.

Some weren’t the most enthusiastic about Ross initially, but he’s exactly the kind of kid you want when building a team it seems. Good enough to develop & play at this level, while also not scaring off maybe more polished players. Not a lot of 4 star kids would handle this kind of commitment and recruitment with as much grace as he has.

I much prefer a high potential guy that is going to ride the bench like we've gotten in these Euros and Ross than someone like we've had recently. Some timid guard who can hold down the fort has their use... but I prefer by far some big shooter or someone physically undeveloped with a huge frame. Plenty of those types never get good enough to play at all... but when you hit the right one, you have a star.
 
Looking forward to cueing up Fab 5 Freddy...

Remember when 73% of the Yard thought Kimani was as good as gone?

Just got back from a round of golf to this awesome news!! Because of the distance between Storrs and Pacific Northwest .. I didn't see this happening as quickly as it did due to needing to convince family of the interest in UConn.. Apparently not an issue.

Great job by staff to close on another priority target.

I will say this about Jaylin.. It takes onions to make a commitment about a school across the country from family and friends. Speaks volumes about JS and his new teammates/coaches to make him feel comfortable in Storrs.

One more domino ??
 
Stewart is a good player. This is a good get for Hurley and his staff.
