^^^ THIS ^^^

While I'm not one to advocate emulating anything Syracuse, they have a well-organized and separate recruiting board. I would prefer that to hunting through the various threads for recruiting updates.
 


Dybantsa interview with that guy. Goodman is an absolute clown between the Hurley “tell me how your dad beat you” and now this kid “tell me what’s the most trouble you’ve ever been in, you gotta give me something”

That sucks.. I would have loved to watch an interview with Dybantsa. But I can't stomach the cringe

Edit- also love how we now have a "That guy" to go with our "some guy"

I watched another game of his the other night, he's incredible. I would still maybe give Flagg a slight edge because of his otherworldly defense but Dybantsa is just incredible on offense, he's making high level NBA scoring moves out there as a 16 year old. Interesting he promised his mom he would play one year of college.

coulda sworn some recruiting insider tweeted that august was going to be busy month in storrs...

Are we still involved at all with Bethea? Felt like that was always more of a long shot and hadn't heard much recently...but he'd be an awesome get

Kansas or Syracuse <gasp> . Time to check out. Because both options suck.

This seemed pretty likely considering his age (paired with the fact Cooper moved up). Getting back to back #1 recruits for the good guys would be pretty cool imo. I saw Hurley, Murray, and I think Moore at his NEPSAC championship game last year where he was the best offensive player on the court.

I put this Boogie Fland interview clip here to bump the thread because I thought he made some interesting comments that might relate to future recruitments head to head with Kentucky, Bama, or Indiana with some of the prospects we are still recruiting. This was my first time hearing him and it changed my preconceived impressions about him favorably. I had the impression he was a much more 'me' vs 'we' teammate, and I now I think that is dead wrong. I found it interesting that Calipari didn't play up guys that 'Cal' had 'sent' to the league. I think in general we assume in recruiting he plays that up big as 'his' accomplishments, that we see as 1 yr hires of existing nba talent that he rides a reputation on.

for those that dont watch the video, can you provide some bullets re. how Hurley can better tailor his pitch in light of boogie's comments? very curious to know what boogie liked so much about those other schools if it wasnt the NIL and lottery history.

Maybe it is just that OUR staff like Nowell better and it's not about what they didn't do for Boogie?

Haha, you really believe that?!?? Calipari is already coaching the kid.

Hurley targets guys who fit the culture first and foremost.
I believe when Hurley softens his attack towards recruits, it's due to this reason or just clear lack of interest from the player, not because he didn't pitch them right.

The pitch probably has been perfected...it's the reaction that is totally unpredictable.
You also can't discount the outside influences...which I think is why Hurley recruits the parents as much as the player.
 
fyi - Top talent is sparcer at Brewster this year with so many top players at Monteverde, Prolific, Link, and OT Elite. On the other hand, I will be intrigued to see #169 Daniel Jacobson at 7'3 235lbs from South Carolina, that is offered by Purdue, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Clemson, Creighton, etc. and might be an interesting possibility if Ngongba doesn't come our way. #197 Caleb Middleton at 6'10 just 195lbs is uncommitted with lower level offers except Iowa I think. 2026 #46 Sebastian Wilkins at 6'8 I know nothing about. 2024 #179 Cole Kirouac at 6'11 is committed to GTech. #83 Nojus Indrusaitis is a 6'5 shooter committed to Iowa State that was about the best pure shooter I saw watching Peach Jam streams. I'll be interested if I have the same impression in person. Jerimiah Jenkins is still there and rated #194. He is a solid ex CT player in the mold of Hassan Diarra.

I'm putting this in this thread in case it turns out we need fallback recruiting targets from our current list, since the 2024 freshman prospect pool is declining rapidly. Look forward to seeing if any of these kids might offer something

They're loaded. You forgot Dwayne Aristode who is being recruited by every top program in the country and Preston Fowler from CT.

Brewster hasn't posted a roster yet so there are always guys I don't pick up on if they are not listed with Brewster on the ranking services. Fowler was still listed as East Catholic, similar with Elijah Crawford G #172 that is listed elsewhere but as Brewster on Max Preps. Aristode is new to me but evidently from the Netherlands so I didn't pick up on him. Are you seeing an actual roster from Brewster or just keeping mental notes when you see things?
