UConn in to see the #1 player in the class tomorrow

Why do this to ourselves.... praying hard tonight

Newfound source of cash coming next year???

 

[UConNick]

He's got some CT ties (think he spent at least part of his childhood in Waterbury, wish I still had the article that said this) and plays for a local travel squad.

As of now chances are still next to zero. He's an NBA guy right out of HS if the rule changes in time. Kentucky or Duke guy if he has to go to school. But, heck, Class of 2021 is still months away from picking up speed and being the main focus; a whole lot can happen. Worth keeping an eye on while managing the minuscule expectations.

E: seems he at least played in the Osgood Shootout with a Waterbury-based team. Not too well-versed in the local youth bball scene so can't speak to if that means anything.

 

[UConnStats]

Not going to happen but can’t hurt to try to stay in his top 10 or so

 

[Lynyrd]

If we could just take one player over the next two years...

 

[Kemba429]

I would think itd be Duke, UK, or Texas Tech to play with Ntambwe.

 

[Kenny11]

He will go where Nike wants him to go.

Would obviously be a program changing land. He’s probably the best high school basketball player on the planet. Hopefully he wants to stay close to home.

Emoni Bates has something to say about that.

How and why 15-year-old hoops phenom Emoni Bates could play in college -- if top schools ever recruit him

Bates going from high school to the NBA in 2022 is an expectation, but he could reclassify and play in college a year earlier

HS phenom Emoni Bates already has the NBA buzzing

He was recently anointed the best high school basketball prospect since LeBron James. He has been compared to Kevin Durant and Kobe Bryant. He also has a documentary tracking his every step. It won’t be long before Emoni Bates is a household name.

Bates looks incredible, but it's hard to say he's better than Kuminga.

Slater just CB'd him to LSU.

Isn't it L$U?

what an absolute joke

Probably doesn't have to be asked, but we're just doing our do diligence, right?

College hoops is in a really bad place. These average SEC programs decided to get serious about basketball like they do football and are paying kids, their families, and their AAU programs out the butt.

Because there are no sanctions

This is almost getting as obvious as the Memphis/FedEx cash house

Does it really make a difference if a kid takes a check from LSU or Duke? Seems like the same problem.

For us it does. We aren't beating Duke for recruits. L$U and Auburn we would beat for recruits before they were giving everyone cars and bags of money.

Hey, was it you who used to have the painted LSU girl as your avatar?
(Not asking as a comment so much as to test my memory.)
Or was it a Scandinavian flag girl?
I know it wasn't the dog.
