With the G-League route coming into play with top guys more I'm not even jealous of the Duke's and Kentucky's anymore. Let them have their high turnover of 5 star freshmen each year, the Villanova formula of multi-year high 4 stars is way more conducive to winning titles.

Let the Hurley-Wright rivalry officially begin...

I’d like to get the occasional 5-star future NBA all-star, though. That matters.

The next person who worries about our staffs recruiting should get a stone cold stunner. I'm half expecting them to announce a loophole that allows Kemba to come back for another bite at the apple at this point. Thanks to all the insiders like 99, BF, Matrim, Zion, etc...all the posts and info are much appreciated from a long time fan with no insider connections. Now we just need basketball.

You get a like the 90s pro wrestling reference

No doubt. Just don't rely on those guys year in and year out like duke/uk. And I'm basing this off the assumption Hurley will develop some of these 4 star guys into the league like Nova too. Results matter, Hurley's gonna have to get guys to the next level to keep the recruits coming

A James Bouknight is great. A Jeremy Lamb in the NBA is great. A 5-star All-Star like Kemba Walker keeps the UConn brand elite even through down times. Occasional 5-stars are important.

I agree, but my point is that rankings can be subjective and meaningless. I think we can all agree that James Bouknight is a 5 star caliber player all day long, even if he technically wasn’t. If they re-ranked the high school class of 2019, he would likely be a top 15 player and McDonald’s All American.

It’s definitely possible that Bouk could become an NBA All-Star when all is said and done.

100% agree, on all counts. Thank you to all of you who post information about potential and actual recruits. It has helped me (and most of you) get through this longest of sports "winters".

And great to see Matrim back... you seems to have brought with you some recruiting good fortune as well. In the short time you are back, we have closed on one huge get, and now looks like we are about to do the same hard charging close from the outside on another hugely important recruit for our future. Thanks Matrim!

At this point, I don't even care if we have to only play in-conference games only (when we could definitely use the preseason this year to get our best lineups and rotations set up during those tune up games)... PLEASE GOD, LET THERE BE A COLLEGE BASKETBALL SEASON!

And to anyone, ANYONE, who questions this staff and their recruiting chops again:

One source informed 247Sports, “I think there is about a 95 percent chance that Jordan goes to Connecticut.”

Another source felt that it would be a massive shock if Hawkins ended up anywhere but UConn.

Scouting report from Nike Elite camp last year. @UConnStats I have to disagree with your analysis that shooting isn’t a strong suit of his every scouting report I’ve read mentions his excellent shooting.

“It’s no stretch to say that Jordan raised his stock more than any single prospect at the Nike Elite 100. A late addition to the event, Hawkins definitely made the most of his time in St. Louis. Our first live viewing of the DMV native came during the Tuesday afternoon session. Standing around 6’4 with good length, Jordan hit multiple catch and shoot threes with good elevation, nice arch and a high release point. In the second half Hawkins had the ball in transition on the right side of the court with a defender in front sizing him up for a block. The underappreciated junior took off about 7 feet away from the rim and absolutely crushed home a ferocious dunk on the defender that had the entire crowd buzzing. Jordan also hit a few midrange pull-ups later on in the game that intrigued us enough to take a second look and we’re glad we did. Hawkins’ jumpshot and athleticism were once again eye-raising, as he hit multiple triples and displayed a solid handle with some explosiveness as a finisher.”

A month ago the 2021 class was thought to be a dud for us...we were just hoping for Samson.

Thinking ride the momentum for spot #4 and push for Keels or Sallis. If Bouk is to stay for year 3 Adams may move on. Who knows we may just go for the transfer to fill in empty spaces
