Kofi Commits to Illinois

And there goes that.

 

[JMick]

Expectations for next season just dropped exceptionally low.

 

[HawkHusky]

Fire Hurley

 

[HawkHusky]

Let the panic begin in terms of landing a quality center.

 

[Huskyforlife]

All this means to me is he’ll be a late signing when they can Underwood.

Kofi made it very clear on Instagram weeks ago he had no interest in coming to UConn. This is not surprising

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Welp.

 

[Stainmaster]

Hurley’s first big loss on the recruiting trail. Obviously it’s impossible to be 100%. It is important to close on Wahab quickly.

Silver lining, I would be okay taking Wahab (who is raw) and a stuff grad transfer that can contribute immediately next year.

 

[Peacefrog]

Ouch. The winky-face fails us for the first time. We need a new emoji now. So much for Illinois not being a threat here. Wow, did we mis-read this one. Funny business? I hope not. On to Wahab and Mitchell.

What was said?

Welp, you win some and you lose some. This one hurt as Illinois seemed like I have to go becuase they were so good to me throughout.

 

[Towney007]

People on here tend to either dramatically overestimate our position in current national recruiting or drastically understate it.

"Perspective" and "Boneyard" don't go together too well.

At least it wasn’t to Pitt

unfollowed him on IG. kid was always hungry for attention. Next

 

[AllAbout5]

Do we prioritize Precious since we need bigs?

That’s funny.

 

[HawkHusky]

I guess he'd rather lose to Northwestern and Rutgers than USF and UCF.

@Jaybo , do your thing.

Annnnd what if he had committed and was all in on Hurley?

 

[Towney007]

Not being a jerk, but....

When you come for a visit, have the coaches coming to see you consistently and know you can step onto a roster and maybe be the best player on the team from day-1 at a program like UConn's and get a degree at a school like UConn and you don't commit when there's such an obvious want and need for you there - you're probably not coming to UConn.

He’s a priority but he’s also a tough get. Mitchell, Wahab and under the radar guys or a post grad are our priorities for this spot now.

 

[Stainmaster]

Annnnd what if he had committed and was all in on Hurley?

We all know the answer to that one.

It seems he even fooled gaffney amd bouknight. “*ing me” with a face palm on instagram

 

[Palatine]

The way we are playing isn't helping. We need to offer a little more hope and a little less "playing time."

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Cuz Illinois is a powerhouse.
