To have Clingan, Filipowski, and Karaban, all in our backyard to supplement NJ recruiting opportunity. ( I know Karaban is now off to IMG). Clingan dominated Pittsburgh as MVP supposedly. You see Filipowski here. Karaban is 80% of Filipowski offensively and 120% defensively. Also shoots the 3 well and is hardnosed tough around the basket, and has equal footwork and moves to both Clingan and Filipowski in the paint. Less end to end ball handling, but a solid passer to play through. I would love to see all three together on a New England or National All Star team. It doesn't seem to be the destiny of UConn at least with Karaban. I noted on 1 roster that Filipowski may have a twin brother or close in age. Same 6'10 size and class. He was mentioned as a top 50 player in New England more than a year ago. Does anyone know if he has any of Kyle's ability? Have we put Sool and Floyd into recruiting mode here?

Matt (Kyle's brother) is a D1 talent, but not nearly the level of his brother. He's more of a low-major type guy from what I've seen. Maybe an Ivy if he gets lucky since supposedly they're pretty smart kids.

I don't know what offers his brother has. That's just the impression I've gotten from local people talking about him.

You and others have been on Karaban/Filipo, I think Scooper has a son that studies in the same school or something. Anyway these kids mentioned have all been lauded in some ways by posters here, media etc yet we don't hear too much on this end from our staffs work. Doesn't mean they aren't working them but I hope there hasn't been too much time working "their" backyard and not enough time working "our" own backyard. But we need to be able to entice local prep kids so hope we just aren't hearing of their efforts thus far.

Clingan, well this one is obvious!

Do yourself a favor. Watch.

Hurley needs to reel this one in.

This kid is an absolute no brainer for Hurley to make a full court press on. He can actually shoot from deep and dribble the basketball!

From a Prep standpoint, yes that is Tom. From an AAU standpoint, Kimani has the relationship with Rens. Murray was one of Kyle's first offers at Louisville and they have a good relationship. Just something to monitor.

I had no idea that Murray recruited Kyle. Great news to hear, presuming we hire him

Has something come out that he’s out of the running?

nope, fingers crossed we get murray. it's just that borge's tweet from last thursday(?) about the "still ongoing search" for an assistant doesnt make it sound like the school is/was simply waiting for his contract to expire on 5/1 before making an announcement.

borges has his head completely buried in the sand if he couldnt even hint at a deal with someone being imminent. so that and the unanimous silence from the insiders (besides chief who says we will hear something early this week) has me anxious .

Yea the longer it goes the more I wonder what’s actually happening, still hoping it’s just a timing thing.
 
Sure appears to be timing.....

1. Murray’s past history working with Hurley
2. Murray’s past in terms of living, playing and coaching in CT.
3. Why have we not heard of any other potential candidates ?
4. With Murray’s stellar reputation for recruiting and coaching I have not seen him linked to any other program since some recent head coaching vacancies were filled.
