Kofi Cockburn update

[dennismenace]

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.

 

[Huskyforlife]

The optimist in me wants to say a Kentucky staffer saw the article and told Kofi they aren't interested in a visit. But what it more likely means is FL ST and Illinois aren't getting those pity visits. Either way this is good for us.

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

I'm sure you won't let us down

Trust in Chief.

Thanks. I was thinking Jesus Cuttlefish.

Precious is more talented but the guy in Chief’s mind - who would make this a successful class is Kofi. Good Bigs are a rare commodity and generally ( putting 2014 aside) you need them to compete against the Big Boys.

Of course, the goal is both and a couple stud guards.

As suspected, he doesn't have the UK offer yet but obviously he's hopeful. It's intimated here that he's next on the list behind Wiseman (possible Memphis lean) and Carey (possible Duke lean, despite this recent article about Carey + UK). It would have made me feel more comfortable if there was a Aidan Igiehon mention in here too.

What Cal does is tell certain kids to wait - and see who follows through on 1and done in Spring @UK. Then there could be more slots.

Imagine wielding that much power.

I hate this, he’d possibly rather be their 3rd choice than our first choice. I wish kids would try and keep this to themselves. It makes me wanna role with Josh Carlton and any other big that wants to be here and let him go elsewhere, even though god knows we need him.

 

[UConnStats]

I think we'll push for him to commit in the next couple months. I doubt the staff will feel comfortable heading into the winter (let alone spring) without a center commit.

I agree with the sentiment that if I were a recruit, I wouldn't want to be strung along the way Calipari does to kids every year. But to his credit, it's a luxury that not many other coaches have ever had.

I bet a lot of this comes right from UK, rather than the kid, no matter how a reporter frames it.

Let's just wait for him to pick Kentucky so every other 4*/5* big goes somewhere else and we are stuck plucking grad transfers. Where have we seen this strategy before????

 

[gtcam]

these next few years have an abnormal amount of good talent in bigs area - an oddity for sure
I hope that DH and co. can reel at least 1 or 2 of them in

I think Dan Hurley has a much better take on where he’s leaning than you.

But sure, let’s run with your “tap out when you’re in the lead” strategy. Can’t lose if you never try, right?

 

[Bonk]

Seems like UK has their nose in just about every top big. Wiseman, Carey, Mcdaniels, Igheion, Kofi and Tshiebwe. We can only hope for once that Kentucky lands their top choices like they usually do right?/ Kinda stinks that it appears Kofi is a UK lock if he gets the offer but we would have loved to be remotely in this position with this kid under KO

This is a bad take.
