I played ultimate with him on and off for years. He's a good guy.

That's good enough for me. Then again, my college roommate was a Columbia High School back in the beginning so I'm biased.

He hated Calhoun and dogged Ollie even early on. He slurps off Calipari. I still don't like the guy and never will. #CalhounForLife

Calhoun was a monster to the press and media. Heard tons of storms including my old neighbor that worked for the HC and covered uconn bball for 25 years. He went to all the title games and 95% of home and BE tournament games. Talk to Calhoun at least 2 or 3 times a week.

Looking at the potential of him committing, anyone have any idea if he & JC could share the court at all together?

JC? Who is JC?

Don’t underestimate a FL State visit. Having said that, see you in September. The month the dam breaks.

Gonna remember this specific phrasing about the dam breaking and what that imagery implies.

I'm sure you won't let us down
 
Hurley’s approach to recruitment has typically been unofficials in the summer- some announced, some not- scheduled around recruiting events and then officials the first month or so of school. At URI, the hit rate on official visits was high. No verbals in September at the start of classes could quickly turn into a four man class by early October. Time will tell how this translates to UConn, but so far, everything seems on track.

Josh Carlton

I have to confess, like my doppleganger @HawkHusky my mind went to Jim Calhoun. Carlton hasn't earned a reference via initials, and with those initials, never will.

Carlton is naturally a power forward. He just needs to develop a consistent 10-12 foot jumper. But this entire roster is going to be recruited over. They better get used to it.

What do you mean "naturally"?? Body size?

If you cant shoot 3s, youre not a PF the way hurley wants to coach.

I think that is an assumption that will prove false. Hurley will play a style that fits his roster. He has played multiple bigs who cannot shoot from outside when he has had them. Carlton is a natural 4 based on size and skill set. His jumper needs to improve.

What about his skill set says "4" to you? He cant shoot.

Hes a small center.

Right now, if they were playing at the same time, they’d get torn up by quick 4s defensively and we’d have zero spacing offensively. Not saying they’d never play together, but it would have to be very situational where they’re bullying the other team possession after possession because of a lack of strength.
 
How many confirmed OV’s do we have now?

Only two dates at the moment: James Bouknight (9/14) and Jalen Gaffney (9/21).

Anthony Harris might visit in October.

Not sure if the visit from Cockburn will be unofficial or official.

Maybe the university is looking for a way to fire JC from his consulting gig for cause.

And then invite him as a walk on for practices.

Misspoke....I don't even understand how you misspeak: "I am going to take 4 visits." Oh wait....I didn't mean the schools I said, I just meant I am going to take at least 4 of the 5 official visits I am allowed to take......

I trust Slater here since he’s been spot on with these high ranked tristate kids. He probably spoke with the handler. But at least we know where Kofi’s Head is at. He likes Uconn and Kentucky and values history and championships. That’s pretty clear.
